I remember riding the trolley from Quincy Square to Adams Shore, it continued to Houghs Neck around the circle and back to Quincy Square. I lived on Sea Street. It was the last house next to the marsh in Adams Shore. Thanks for the memory.
Wow, just wow!!!! It's amazing how in some of the pictures, other than the old cars and the old trolly cars, patrs of the city and buildings haven't changed much.
Everything looked old even when it wasn't old . I saw the Madison Hotel come down , had it on video tape . Not sure what happen to the tape , son probably copied a Bruins game on it I looked at the Harvard st area on google maps and compared the two locations . Looks much nicer now .
Look how nicely people dressed in public back then. No skanky hos with their b00bs hanging out and thugs with the waists of their pants at mid-thigh. How we have fallen, both as a city and a society.
Interesting that you say how people were dressed neater back then. By contrast, edwardmeissner points out how much dirtier the City was. Today, the people dress "dirtier" but the streets are cleaner. Interesting contrast.
I remember Ernie Boch Sr. selling Rambler's & Renault Dauphine's on Comm Ave. next to Peter Fuller Cadillac Olds with the Streetcars running right out front !

@Greg Ferraro Boston is very big on preserving history.
Thank you for the memories. I miss the way we were
The PCC type trolleys with standee windows above the passenger windows are post war 1946..1951 trolleys. Those
without are pre and wartime trolleys.
Many of these pics are mis-labled with wrong location.
Back when you can buy a home in Boston for less than $20,000
wow i was 8 years old and i remember this, different planet .
Brings back memories. And we called that "rapid transit"...

Wow! This was back when Boston was grimy and gritty ... and _cheap!_ Now, it's all clean and spiffy and swanky ... and _expensive!_ 😭😭😭

Ernie Boch was selling a lot of Oldsmobiles then. I remember his TV commercials.
Not for Oldsmobile, but it gives the idea: ruclips.net/video/82gUYeSivR8/видео.html
