<p>A quick [GOOGLE[/url</a>] search netted the following images. . . which I will tour you through.</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://www.bahistory.org/CommAve1896.jpg%5DAerial"&gt;http://www.bahistory.org/CommAve1896.jpg]Aerial&lt;/a> shot of Commonwealth Avenue](<a href="http://images.google.com%5DGOOGLE%5B/url"&gt;http://images.google.com) . . . 109 years ago. Note the lack of, well, everything.</p>

<p>Random</a> student on the BU bridge. The green building on the left riverbank is the BU Boathouse. The tall blue building in the right of the frame is the Hancock tower. To its right is the Prudential Center (with the antenna). Forming a staircase back to earth are the Bird Cage* and the Citgo sign.</p>

<p>*The building is a few years old and is, quite possibly, the ugliest in Boston. It looks half finished and airy. The top, which appears to serve no practical purpose whatsoever, looks to me like an aviary. Hence the name.</p>

<p>Kenmore</a> Square, facing BU. Directly in front of the photographer is Fenway park (obscured by a few blocks of buildings). To the left are Blockbuster,McDonald's, Beacon Street. If you were to walk down the street to the right of that there back in the center of the frame, you'd find CAS, The Towers, Warren Towers, West Campus . . . it's all on one very long street.</p>

<p>Kenmore</a> Train Station. Yeah. They're still working on that . . .</p>

<p>Buildings</a> you'll be seeing a lot of. All of Boston is your playground when you're at BU.</p>

<p>On</a> the B-Line train, facing east. To the right is Beacon St., Guitar Center, several coffee shops, the school of communications, a few life science, engineering, psychology, and particle physics buildings. To the left is the George Sherman Union, the BU library, and a few big roads. If you were to use binoculars, you might be able to make out Kenmore Square on the horizon. Those are BU banners, by the way. Boston area colleges flag their territory the same as dogs pee on fire hydrants.</p>

<p>Boston</a> loves its trains.</p>

<p>The</a> back of CAS . . . or somewhere at Harvard, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>BU</a> from above.</p>

<p>That map is centered on the office of admissions. If you zoom all the way in, you can make out the types of cars parked nearby.</p>

<p>That pic of Comm Ave is out in Newton. Comm Ave in the Back Bay area was all landfill. This</a> webpage at BC has a lot of information, including animations which show the filling in of Boston. The area where most of BU is was filled in during the last part of the 1890's.</p>
