And they still have the Fleet Center (now the TD Banknorth Garden). Not sure of the date of the photos, but the Zakim Bridge opened March 2003. Maybe not as far back as 1999, but at least 3-4 years old. Time for a new satellite pass. Or maybe they are waiting for trees to be planted on the Greenway. Boston Bob (posted March 2006)

They took the chips and encased them in some sorta acrylic and sold them on tv and a few auctions as paperweights. They actually stripped all the paint off the old tank before the knocked it down.

It was sad to see one go, but I am really glad they repainted the artwork on it. As far as the Big Dig. One day it will be cool, but there are too many problems due to lack of signage, lanes being closed, leaks in the tunnel. The coolest thing about Boston is the 4th of July from the Esplanade. Here's where you'll find me: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.356801,-71.073829&spn=0.010450,0.013089&t=k&hl=en I grew up around the corner from the gas tank(s).

We're getting there. The Zakim Bridge is done, the central artery is done, but there's still a few years of work left on it, as I understand. Oh, and the big dig still isn’t finished.
