We survived.

And thrived.

Currently watching the beginning of this but I saw the other episodes and of course this is 2023. Listening to Fred Salvucci, I think his upbringing where he saw his grandmother get bought out for $1, and then he later excelled at MIT and able to create a new highway system without the abuses of previous highway systems. We see here where he has to answer to some very demanding questions.

Boston survived, but it is killing mass transit, Ironic as Mikey Duke was supposed to be a transit booster over highways.

We were supposed to get a north south connector and that never happened and we’re still trying to make it happen

$4 Billion done by 1998 🤣

@9:15 Where are we going to get the money? Umm Umm the good old Boston way. Still paying for it.

[@Heyu7her3]

Still benefiting from it tho

I'll admit this is a shallow critique on branding... this was a well produced program, the opening of this show uses Ward Dilmore's _Ten O' Clock News_ bed music, but when they closed the show, they just had hot mics? Audio op lost focus not cuing the cart machine or something?

They probably will if they cool the engines
