Boston’s Lost Landmarks: The West End Museum
CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) – Stop by Boston’s West End Museum and it feels like a high school reunion. Volunteers and visitors will often reminisce about their old neighborhood.
Joe Greenberg is a prime example.
He currently lives in Brookline after moving back to the Boston area from Washington DC eleven years ago. He volunteers at the museum on a regular basis and remembers his old stomping ground, not as a slum, as labeled by urban renewal proponents, but as a diverse and tight knit neighborhood.
