Backside

Back in the early 80's and 90's, old warehouses on Commercial and surrounding streets in the Old Port were being gobbled up like jelly-beans and turned into expensive condos. These days, however, lots of these units around the city are in want of, as Dickens would say: "the common necessities of life"-- like tenants! I thought this 'backside' shot of this big one provided a pretty bleak look at the area. As you probably have heard, I have this affinity for brickwork, but I'm still trying to figure out the affection for the bland, cookie-cutter look of condos. I'm at a loss!
Hey, have a fabulous Friday! It looks like the temps get back into the 70's today! Yeah 70's!

  1. Love it, Birdman. Brick is so beautiful. It warms even a box of windows.
