Davis Square's Gentrification In Pictures

Great piece by Noah Bierman in today's Globe about the Davis Square Tiles Project, which tracks down the kids who made the tile art on the walls of the Davis Square T station back in 1983. Turns out, they have conflicted feelings about the way the neighborhood has changed from a working class redoubt to a den of hipsters. (A few of the grown-up artists, including a guy who lives in Brooklyn, have gentrified neighborhoods of their own.) The Globe bothered to include a link, for once, and it looks like the traffic has crashed the project's site. Still, good piece. [Globe]
