It was very interesting, Leo. I'm sorry that I never got to see it. If you were to stand in that same spot today, you'd be facing the Chinese Church, and up ahead, looking up Broadway, you'd be looking towards the Hancock Tower. Broadway became a non-street here, in my opinion - Marginal. If it had not become a Chinese enclave, it was headed to be a widening of the infamous Combat Zone. I'll bet you that at the time that this photo was taken, that you'd be as safe there as anywhere. After the Zone, not so after dark. Even now. Our car is about to cross the NH and B&A tracks in the corridor there on it's way to Southie. Great photo, Leo. Thanks for posting.
