The Rose Kennedy Greenway

They tore down the Central Artery here in Boston and put up a parking lot.

When they tore down the ugly girders of the elevated Central Artery for the Big Dig, the plan was to make that huge swath of land between downtown Boston and the waterfront a green space named after Rose Kennedy.

But what are they doing? Just bricking it over. It's looking more and more like Government Center, much criticized for being just this barren open spot that's hotter than Hades in the summer and feels like Antarctica in the winter.
