Here you see the InkBlock condos and shopping center rising up pinned between I90 behind the camera and I93 seen in the distance behind the blue glass of the One Ink building.  In the foreground, children walk towards Chinatown across Herald street with Whole Foods bags.<br />
<br />
This area of the South End used to be the New York Streets Neighborhood harkening back to a mid 19th century rail link between Boston and the Erie Canal.  After becoming Boston’s first urban redevelopment district in 1955, the entire area was leveled leaving only Albany St. behind.  The Boston Herald used to be on this corner but moved to Seaport District in January of 2012 leaving behind inspiration for the InkBlock’s name.  Further down the block, you can see the anchor retail tenant Whole Foods new large store.  Three buildings beyond that, you can see the white Quinzani’s Bakery building.<br />
<br />
Only two weeks before this time collage was created, Quinzani’s announced it was closing due to gentrification and no one in the fourth generation wanting to take it over.  Earlier in the year The Boston Flower Exchange announced it would sell its building on 500 Albany St. with plans uncertain if it will find a new location or simply disband.  By year end, nearby Medieval Manor at 246 E. Berkeley St. would hold its final performance on New Years Eve 2015 before shuttering after 43 years in business.  The InkBlock is bringing about the dense, residential urban living envisioned more than a half century earlier in 1955.  I just doubt many even up to very recently could have predicted just how upscale it would be.

This is the backside of the Copley Square fountain with Trinity Church and the Hancock Tower (now officially known as 200 Clarendon), two of Boston’s most famous buildings, in the background.  The fountain marked the rededication of Copley Square on June 22nd, 1989, capping the Copley Square Centennial Committee’s renovation efforts beginning in 1983.  Locals bustle by after work while tourists take in the famous urban park.  The stage for the Boston Summer Arts Weekend is being set which would see the performances of Aaron Neville and Emmylou Harris.  I was happy to see a few skateboarders make an entrance late in the shoot as they are regulars at the fountain in the summer – even if they’re not supposed to

Going from left to right, you can see the Engine Three Firehouse, the former Cathedral Grammar School (with its own 1910 cornerstone visible) which closed in 2013, and the new 600 Harrison building being built.  Behind the school sits the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.  600 Harrison, which will hold 160 rental apartments and ground floor retail space, will help provide steady income for the Cathedral.  It’s being built on a parking lot the Cathedral owns and leased to a developer for 99 years.  Independent of the 600 Harrison project, the Cathedral was able raise most of the $2 million dollars necessary for the renovation it is currently undergoing.  Repointed stones, cleaned exterior walls, and scaffolding on the its front facing Washington Street attest to the improvements being made.  Two months earlier five bells were installed from the nearby Holy Trinity German Catholic Church on Shawmut Ave. which was closed in 2008, sold, and is currently being turned into upscale condos.  In the school, workers can be seen in the windows throwing debris into the dumpster.  200 Clarendon (formerly the Hancock Tower) can be seen just over the construction of 600 Harrison. Soon, it will be obscured, one of many Boston views that used to be.

Throughout the summer, young ballerinas can be seen walking on Clarendon St. between Boston Ballet and Back Bay Station.  They come here to learn from some of the world’s best.  Just behind me was a plaque honoring Local 7 ironworker Robert L. Laneau who died during building construction on July 28th, 1990.

This is the day Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was sentenced to death inside the Moakley Courthouse for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. At the podium, Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans, Watertown Police Commissioner Edward Deveau, and Marathon Cowboy Carlos Arredondo with his wife and the “Boston Strong” banner can be seen. Channel 7’s Dan Hausle gives a report while off in the distance death penalty protesters stand at jutting out corner of the building with a peace flag and signs one of which asks, “Does Killing Stop Killing?” The phrases “justice was served” and “finding peace” were repeated many times in many ways by many people. The father with his young son walking out of the frame makes me want to cry.
