Weekend Stroll and 400k Open Houses On Comm Ave
Today’s been hot and stormy, but the weekend forecast looks much more inviting, or at least less hot. Perfect weather to take a nice, relaxed stroll down Commonwealth Avenue, and take in a few open houses.
The Comm Ave Mall, with its Victorian-style benches, statuary and much-needed downtown greenspace, might seem like just another nice feature of Back Bay neighborhood. But it also serves as the third link (going outbound) on Boston’s Emerald Necklace, a string of parks running from the Common practically to Roslindale.
So while it makes for the nice urban equivalent of a front lawn, the Comm Ave mall also serves as on-ramp to a massive non-automotive thoroughfare. Want to take in a movie on the Common? Just scenic walk away. Game at Fenway? Another scenic walk. Heck, disco bowling in JP. Yeah–another scenic walk.
And to think there was once talk of turning it all into condos.
