Our office is quite near Boston's Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. This work-in-progress will ultimately be a chain of parks and gardens, filling the space where the elevated Central Artery used to be. (That's the highway that was dismantled and replaced with tunnels in the "Big Dig.")
One recently completed section of the greenway, near the North End, includes plenty of beautyberry (Callicarpa) shrubs, which are very eyecatching right now with their vivid purple fruit. I took these photos last week; when I walked by this morning the berries are still present but a darker shade.
My carpool unanimously agrees that traffic is still brutal. But it is great to see the Greenway coming along.
