Last time I was in Boston was so long ago, the Big Dig was still a twinkle in someone's eye.
You will be surprised how little has changed, beside that.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Dude. The Copley's still there, right?
Man. Long, long time....

The whole Copley Square area hasn't changed much at all.

Been working there for almost 20 years (yikes!)

Depending on how long ago deb was last there, I think Copley Place would be the only major addition. However, Centenial Place (Is that the name? Anyway, the tall building that went in near the Common) is a major change to the skyline (and the Zakim bridge, of course). I'm trying to think what else. The shopping area of the Pru is no longer an eyesore, though it hasn't done much for the building itself. Some places have been really nicely restored (I'm thinking of the Opera House, primarily). The Combat Zone is non-existent. And even though Fenway Park hasn't changed much, Kenmore Square would probably be near-unrecognizable.

We'll drive over it from the airport to my house.

Here's hoping we're not under howling blizzard, or something.
I always loved Boston. Only been a few times, mostly as part of someone else's tour, but I dug the hell out of it. I remember taking a good long walk around Beacon Hill in appalling weather, and twisting an ankle.
It's going to be really cool to see it again, with people I like to show me the way around.

I guess there are changes. I guess I view Boston, or the culture as being relatively slow to change or accept change.

True dat. And Planet Records. On the other hand, I do not mourn the loss of Narsyphilis or Pizza Pad one bit.
