'Just Rewards (2)'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
I guess I view Boston, or the culture as being relatively slow to change or accept change.
On that I'll agree - most of the changes are cosmetic ones, and, apart from things like the Rat, generally for the better. The psyche of the town remains the same.
The place that kills me in how it's changed so much, and for the worse, is Harvard Square. They've pretty much killed everything that I used to enjoy about it (and with the Brattle in trouble, it looks like the job's going to be finished soon).
I was just about to mention Harvard Square, Frank. I agree completely.
R.I.P. The Rat...

Wha? What's happened?

We can play a game! You ask if a particular establishment is there anymore and we'll say yes or no. Likely the answer is no.
And, if it's someplace he liked, the answer's almost sure to be no.

Oh jeez, I can't remember all the names. Uh, the poetry bookstore Grolier's? The sandwich place with the green sawdust on the floor where you could get a Turkey Delight? It was a woman's name. Emack and Bolio's? What was that rep cinema...University Theater? The one where they always had an old James Bond double feature on every schedule.
the poetry bookstore Grolier's
Gone. As is Wordsworth books
he sandwich place with the green sawdust on the floor where you could get a Turkey Delight?
If you are talking about The Greenhouse, near the Coop and next to Cardullo's, that's still there. Charlies is also still there
No Emack's, there's a ben & Jerry's and a Toscaninnis
On the up side, there is about 20 Au Bon Pains, Abercrombie and Fitch, Pizzaria Uno, Crate & Barrell...
But happily Burdicks is still around.
Paul Revere's silver shop? That still around?
what can I say, we bostonians hate change.
(though Paul Revere silver stories and tall tales still abound)

I think Grollier's is still there and also E&B's. The theater sounds like how the Harvard Square Theater used to be, which is now more of a first run mainstream art cinema (that is, they get the artier end of the mainstream movies) but part of the Loew's chain. Don't know the sandwich place from the description, but The Tasty is long gone. Ditto the Wurst House and WordsWorth.
