This is what remains of a parking garage on Newbury Street that is being torn down to make way for a building of approximately the same size. This is progress, by some measures. The steel frames in the background were for the car elevators. Now they are an artistic emblem of the calculated ambition and desire of the original builder. I wonder if the parking garage, which I think was only built in the mid-eighties, made a full return on its investment. I wonder how long it will take the new building to do the same, and if it will be subjected to the same fate.
