I lived in Boston in the mid nineties for about three years, doing shipping logistics that served the downtown & surrounding areas. I didn't have a frame of reference, and really only ever knew the city in the midst of that debacle, having to design courier routes throughout the area. Needless to say I was intimately familiar with the Big Dig.

I had the pleasure of returning to the city in 2015 for a brief bit of work with my current company and was utterly blown away at the transformation of the boulevard, the green spaces, the visual beauty...and just the sense of openness and lightness. I felt like I could breath easier just walking down the street.

It's a shame to have had to overpaid so dearly for that, but what an amazing result. It was a great city before, but this just felt next-level.
