Yea there have been too many development mistakes made by Boston in the past. The Big Dig is a step in the right direction, hopefully we can rebuild some of what was lost.

If you'd care to notice, surface lots where much worse in the late 50s to mid-70s then they ever could be today.

It may seem so, but Downtown right now is more lively then it has been since the 50s.

Which city would you say has done the most to preserve its historical architecture?

ROCguy · April 27th, 2006, 02:00 AM

Probably Philadelphia.

lovecharlie · April 27th, 2006, 02:51 AM

Philadelphia, thats another city where old photos are hard to find.

ROCguy · April 27th, 2006, 02:56 AM

Really? I would think the total opposite. They probably take the most pride in their huge historical roll and abundance of historical buildings.

flatiron94 · April 27th, 2006, 10:28 PM

Here is one of st anthony falls minneapolis in 1851.

Here it is today. its a shame.

lovecharlie · April 28th, 2006, 12:46 AM

Its pretty easy to get old photos of the buildings in Philadelphia but not good clear skyline shots from the 20's and 30's when things were really taking off for the city.
