The first trauma is learning you or a loved one has a serious medical condition. The second is being told you have to go to Longwood Medical area for treatment. Getting there, and the stress of thinking about it, takes years off a life.
Instead of closing the last practice studios for musicians we should be encouraging studios of all kinds to locate in the area. Bring in business that can be supported by the area’s every day vibrancy with a huge help from 81 baseball games a year.
Kenmore Square use to be cool because it was cheap and located near so much. Boylston Street and the streets behind it are where many people who are now professional artists and entertainers spent some time in their formative years.

Not near school.
This is the neighborhood where the liquor store use to put a picture of a local homeless guy (Rocky) in its newspaper ads. Rocky Approved or something like that. Now that’s a neighborhood. Then of course the Rastafarian dude who was at least 68. I forget his name. That guy was always around.
Another nail in Boston’s coffin.

I love that guy. He’s gotta be in killer shape right? All that shouting and riding all day long?
