This view will disappear in a few months as construction on the building in the foreground proceeds. This is the Boston Theatre District, and the recent renovations to the Opera House, The Paramount, and the Modern Theatre have helped recreate a section of the city that fell on hard times about sixty years ago. This photograph flattens out an experience that I think is architecturally wonderful. The irregular street grid makes all of these buildings flow together. It makes me consider the city as a building, instead of a collection of buildings.
