Then and Now

Today's Sunday Globe Magazine's article, Then and Now, has wonderful photos of the city of Boston 'then and now' - before and after the Big Dig. With all the complaints and criticisms, the city is delightful to view today from the air. It think, it the end, it was an improvement.



A few of my favorite books are Then and Now by Stefania & Dominic Perring and Cities: Then and Now by Jim Antoniou. With acetate overlays supplying reconstructions you can view the original cities of the world and the cities of today. Fascinating for everyone, including young students.
