Chunk by chunk, it’s coming down, that hulking mass of misery in the South End, once a power plant carted away by state funds to make way for a multi-use development.
While most of the demolition will be completed over the next several months, one of the final pieces has been put off until April, the candy-striped smokestack.

Do we have an estimate of how many people this (hulking mass) has harmed?
Harmed? Perhaps, you get measurable calculable estimation, but I don’t think you can get a measurable calculable estimation on who electricity transformed human society and the world.
Thought it is unfortunate the light pollution drowns out the nature night sky. A perspective that has been lost to most of the human experience.

That being said, The Port is good at devaluing itself. It is fair to say it’s more about what is going to be build/developed more the just taking/demolding something. Granted, it is just a smokestack. Yet it is a symbol of Port’ s industrialist days. However, a more genuine approach would be to see what development proposal concepts for the land/Port. Perhaps some development/developer would like to incorporate in their planned.
From my perspective it is a Iconic symbol of the Port. Losing it would be unfortunate. But I tend to not want to cut the baby/Port in half. That being said, waste, there a “push” to demolish PT Barnum Museum in the 80s to make way for the bank development?
Port politics you got to wonder. I hope it/Port politics don’t devalue and cheat all of the support of the next Barnum sails the Sound next year like they did this year. Pricks. JS
At any rate, Think about it.
