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.

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.

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.

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.
