What if the MBTA decided to embark on a construction project to improve service on the D Line during Red Sox season and didn't tell anybody?

You just knew this was going to happen

Kenmore is still a series of glimmers of hope that quickly fade as leaps of progress turn into months of "Are they even doing anything?"

You know those cool above-ground maps the T installed in the 1970s - then never updated? Paul Levy was looking at one at Kenmore and noticed all the long-gone names:

... Hospital of the House of the Good Samaritan; Peter Bent Brigham Hospital; Jimmy Fund Research Lab; State Teachers College of Boston; Boston English High School; New England Deaconess Hospital; Beth Israel Hospital; Sears Roebuck and Company; Children's Hospital Medical Center; Boston Lying Inn Hospital; Joslin Clinic. ...

He also provides some stats on the Longwood Medical Area (2 million patients a year!).
