Dave Atkins took a walk along the Rose Kennedy Greenway recently and was amazed at the change it's meant:

... Gazing along what used to be an impassable mass of green steel and concrete once can see an arc of green and from one vantage point, glimpse South Station and the spire of the Old North Church at the same time. It is possible to walk between all these parts of the city--and also to see the harbor. I remember how as a college student I was hardly even aware there was a Boston Harbor--it was hidden behind the highway. Today the city is connected and once can see the bay, the airport, and beyond. ...

He notes the Greenway is holding a coming out party on Saturday, Oct. 4.
