In all fairness, today’s Bunker Hill can seem sterile and cold on weekends, since it’s an urban-renewal high-rise office-tower cluster, and it’s pretty empty when the weekday warriors go home to the suburbs.
But just down the hill, in the historic core that was hollowed out by all the cheap modern office space available on Bunker Hill, there’s a really promising revival going on, as adaptive reuse turns old deserted offices into modern residential lofts, surrounded by neighborhoods well-suited to the walking/biking/transit-riding young urbanite lifestyle.
“Cold and sterile”, it’s definitely not.
