<p>Thanks for the kind words all. Mike, thanks for sharing that photo. The Boston skyline certainly has changed over the years!</p> <p>[quote user="rixflix"]</p> <p>TMT,</p> <p>The Longfellow is one of those bridges that really says BRIDGE, with the proper arcing over the water. An Ur bridge that a child might draw!! The machine perforated block building in the center? Fort Knox in Boston? But I do like the way the twin towers on the right, a bad idea at first thought, have been personalised by the tenants in color and whatever they're doing in there. They remind me of my LeCorbusier and Paolo Soleri period in architecture school. How are the Aalto's and Harvard's Carpenter and Sevier faring?</p> <p>It's been a long time since I've been to Boston on our honeymoon, but the T's apple stand at Park Street and the Mattewan and Riverside trolleys last in memory..</p> <p>Rick</p> <p>Matttewan? Or Matawan or pon? Whatever, there was a wonderful Red Line terminal or connecting station there...</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>The building in the center is Mass Eye & Ear. Most if not all of the buildings to the left of it are part of Mass General Hospital. Park Street no longer has an apple stand that I'm aware of, but the Mattapan trolleys are still running with PCC cars. I'm not sure if you visited when the Green Line was still running real trolleys, but the equipment nowadays is all articulated Light Rail Cars. This is the oldest type of car still running on the Green Line.</p> <p>[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/Prototype%202/P1030880.jpg[/IMG]</p>
