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

This is the first day of the 50th Head of the Charles Regatta which is the second largest 2-day regatta in the world.  The starting line is just to the right out of frame and the BU Bridge is the first of six bridges for teams to pass under over the three mile course.<br />
The Phoenix Bridge Company, a subsidiary of Phoenix Iron Works, built the bridge.  Over the years, various branches of the Phoenix Iron Works produced cannons for the Union in the Civil War, sent puddled iron to France to construct the Eiffel Tower, and invented the Phoenix column making the creation of skyscrapers possible.  Over its existence, the Phoenix Bridge Company built roughly 4,200 bridges, one of which was the disastrous Quebec Bridge which collapsed twice in 1907 and 1916 before finally being completed in 1919.<br />
A plane flies a car dealers banner in the middle of the frame.  This is one of the three places on earth where simultaneously a plane can fly over a car going over a train going over a boat.  It was the only place in the world where spectators could climb down onto the piers of the railroad bridge, in this case the Junction Railroad Bridge, to have planes, cars, and trains pass overhead while world class rowers passed beneath.  A policeman now patrols the bridge making sure none of the expected 300,000 spectators can have this singular experience anymore.  Happily, years ago before this was discouraged, I was able to hear the swoosh of Championship Eight boats flying by under the bridge.<br />

Norfolk Ave. intersects with Gerard St. in the distance and runs parallel to Mass Ave through an old industrial area of Roxbury. A city dump is just up Gerard St. on the left from this vantage point. There aren’t many pedestrians or much traffic here. I was surprised to learn that the menacing guard dog who occasionally chased me along the fence of the junkyard as I biked by late at night between my South End studio and Dorchester home, was actually white faced and arthritic.

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 was Marathon Monday 2015.  The weather was rainy.  A kind fellow spectator passed me a plastic bag to place over my camera.  While I shot, the announcements of the beginning heats of runners were announced.  A fireman walks through the crowd with police officers in the background.  A photographer takes photos up Ring Road where a security checkpoint was.  A camera hangs off the roof of Lord and Taylor.  The second bomb went off almost directly across Boylston St.  Maybe that camera helped track down the Tsarnaev brothers.

The Boston Gay Pride Parade starts on Boylston Street and comes past this point on Clarendon Street shortly later passing through the South End then the Public Garden and Beacon Hill before finishing in Government Center. That’s Mayor Marty Walsh’s contingent with the arch of balloons. He has been a long standing proponent for gay rights starting when he was a State Rep and is a crowd favorite. There were so many lovely hugs between bystanders and marchers. I was happy to get the reunion in progress in the street which stood in for all the others I saw. And, of course, there were great costumes. Massachusetts was the first state to embrace same sex marriage in 2004; and on June 26th, 2015, not long after this time collage was taken, The Supreme Court ruled in favor of making same sex marriage legal across on the country.

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.

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.
