YoJoe just happened to be on the 1800 and 1900 blocks of Burling St on September 26, less than two weeks ago. I’ve just posted several dozen of the photos I took that day to Flickr. Take a look, and come up with your own take on these blocks.
My take: look at the photos, walk the street, and you’re hard-pressed to make any kind of a reasoned case against what’s been built there. It’s a decently attractive streetscape that pays respectful homage to the area’s history — not a jumble of screaming,hulking McMansions as some have contended.
Could it be better? Sure. The relevant point, I think, is that it could be far worse, and that the critics are way out of bounds on this one.
