Site of the former Filene's Dept. Store in Downtown Crossing. Construction has halted and all that remains is a building facade and a big hole in the ground covering one city block.
I loved Filene's Basement. Sad pic. Loving this blog though. You're pics are amazing. Trotted across from the Quincy blog. After my stint in Wollaston, I lived on Beacon Hill for a while and the pics make me SO homesick for the U.S.A.
sad, but a great shot nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteAh...I didn't know Filene's was going out...I shopped there once - in 1976...
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering about that hole in the ground. They stopped because of the economy? Is it official?
ReplyDeleteIt`s a pity!
ReplyDeleteDowntown Crossing really looks depressed these days!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to see quite a bit of those halted construction sites...
ReplyDeletelove the chain link .
I like the thru the fence look :)
