It’s heartening to hear about proposed changes for the Fenway neighborhood. For years we’ve walked past the parking lots, gas stations, tire centers and fast-food restaurants and felt a loss….the loss of a lively, entertaining and convenient streetscape that actually adds something to the city.

The moribund economy is showing signs of life, and more of us are feeling like buying…or at least looking. So on a nice spring weekend, there’s a place to go where you can enjoy some sunshine, see some art, and even spend a little money, if you’re game. The Fort Point Art Walk will be [...]
Bidding wars , crowded open houses, and houses selling for over asking price are just a few of the stories we’ve heard this spring supporting a theory that the market, at least in Boston, is recovering.
