At 72 I've known a lot of places to become incredibly soulless in recent decades but my husband and I were truly horrified when we returned to Boston four years ago for the first time in maybe 35 years.
I'd known Boston since I was a kid with regular summer visits to visit family and my husband and I got to know the city in the 70's when we lived in Hartford CT.
We saw changes even back then, the North End especially, but nothing prepared us for dystopian landscape we encountered on our recent visit. Then this year I read the No Name Restaurant was closing followed by Durgin-Park.
We moved to New Jersey and NYC became our 'trip to the big city' but we saw that change too in the 80's. I hate to admit it but now I find myself watching "Cagney and Lacey", "NYPD Blue" or films like "Inside Llewyn Davis" just to escape to the city I remember, some measure of access...
I wish I never clicked on that fuckwit’s horrible tweet but I did and he had to deal with some consequences on account of the horrible tweet and there’s been an absolute freakout in the Free Speech Christian Gaming community so now he’s even more self-righteous and there’s a hashtag about standing with him. I hate it here.

Thanks for the post.
They’re all Good Ones imo.
