Views of Boston

Two Decades of Change Have Boston Sparkling.  (The New York Times, 1/5/2014)

Once chocked with sludge and contaminated with chemicals.   Today the harbor is the pride of Boston, a playground for pleasure boaters and even swimmers as it glistens like a necklace, ringed by glassy towers, upscale restaurants and pricey hotels.

Saw it first-hand in September 2013.

A turnaround.     Boston had a faster rate of growth than other magnet cities like New York and San Francisco, though housing costs were almost as high.


And how about those parking rates?

Needless to say, we took public transportation and did a hell of a lot of walking.
