Salted, Part 2 of n
Four years ago I made a post entitled “What a Pillar of Salt Sees”, which enumerated dozens of Boston landmarks that had disappeared. As time went on and more things changed, I added a paragraph of addendum.
At this point, that list has grown long enough to justify another whole new list to note the people, places, and things that are no longer part of the city’s fabric.
That said, here’s some of what’s changed since 2005:
