Keeping a Close Eye On The Harvard Allston Expansion
With the announcement of the construction slowdown of the science complex in Allston, some of us Allston residents realized that there may very well be a large hole in the ground for many more years to come.
Suddenly, we looked around and saw that there were many issues with the Harvard 50 year plan for Allston that the neighborhood needs to keep an eye on. For those that live in Allston / Brighton, or in Cambridge, or in Boston, we need to be more vigilant to prevent our town from becoming nothing more than empty buildings for the next 50 years.

The Lights Are On But Nobody’s Home

3/24/2009 8:13 PM Open side door at Kmart
On Tuesday night, while walking by the abandoned Kmart (1) on Litchfield street I came upon an open door. Some of the lights were on inside, but there were no sounds of movement or people. With my girlfriend yelling “Oh my God, this how horror movies start!” I snapped a picture and we continued home with our cornopia from Big Daddy’s.
So Harvard can help the neighborhood… by supplying a huge location for squatters displaced by the housing crisis! Maybe they’ll start a fire and the current blight will be replaced by a new uglier blight. We can only hope that if this were to happen no lives would be lost like in Worcester.
