About | Looking Backward
https://bostonlookingbackward.wordpress.com/about
In 1887, Edward Bellamy published. He was looking at his own era from the vantage point of the future (the year 2000). We’re looking at the past, also with the benefit of hindsight. This site pages back through the streets, scraps and happenings of a city known for its history. The goal: to recover the layers. Just from the Colonial period to the Revolutionary War, but the decades from those years to the present. Suggestions and questions welcome at bostonlookingbackward (at) gmail (dot) com.

How Boston got its first airline route | Looking Backward
https://bostonlookingbackward.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/how-boston-got-its-first-airline-route
June 18, 2012. How Boston got its first airline route. The flight from Boston to New York would take one hour forty-five minutes. It was the mid 1920s: a happening time between world wars. The United State Postal Service had successfully proved its experiment. In putting excess planes to work ferrying mail from coast to coast, so that the government felt confident putting its airmail routes out to bid to private aviation companies.

Thirsty horses and trolley cars | Looking Backward
https://bostonlookingbackward.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/thirsty-horses-disappearing
July 12, 2011. Thirsty horses and trolley cars. Photo of a downtown fountain for thirsty horses via Boston Public Library’s Flickr stream. Would take one of these for people right about now. The ASPCA, founded in 1866 spread to many American cities, and lobbied on behalf of draft horses.This scene was already on the wane in the 1920s. Horses were superseded by electric trolley lines through expanding cities (What’s that off in the background? Between 1742, when horses were taxed for the first time, and 1...

Bread and Roses Centennial Exhibit. Lawrence: An Industrial City. A location along the Merrimack River was selected to carve out a new industrial city in the 1840s. The City of Lawrence sprang up at an astonishingly rapid pace. It was a city meant to do one thing: produce. A Community in Crisis. By the 20th century Lawrence is one of the busiest industrial cities in the world. But rapid industrialization had drastic consequences for living and working conditions in the city. Who Were the People? The Brea...

http://fivefeetofevil.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Five Feet of Evil. A Snapshot of Lawrence Boxing History. Monday, December 10, 2012. Jack Sharkey and Lawrence. Never lived in Lawrence but thanks to his friendship with Buckley stablemate Andy Callahan, he spent time drinking in the Queen City. I don't have any documentation (yet) but have heard it from enough sources to believe it to be true. Read full article here. It is a cruel and somewhat unfair fact of life that flawed fighters of an erratic nature and unfulfilled talent frequently fire the imagin...
