Neither of today's before and after photos were taken by me. But I like them.

things look pretty similar except for the addition of I-295 on the left and the expansion of Hadlock Field. The addition of I-295 clearly interrupted this neighborhood, as well as every other one which it passes through. For a detailed and interesting proposal on how to replace this freeway, visit C Neals' Rights of Way blog.
wow, things haven't changed that much, have they?
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea for a post. I'll have to take a look at that proposal about 295, I used to live on the West Prom in the early 80's for a few years.
