Empty buildings and sidewalks.

Not a lick of life.

The occasional human that passes is wrapped up in a mask.

A population belittled into anonymity.

Silent city.

Silent people.

Silent structures.

The absence of human energy pushes your attention to the structures. 

There were so many beautiful art deco built in Boston last century.

Where did those stylists go? Why did they lose favor?

At some point the utilitarian designers and their ‘brutalist’ methods won the day.

Now the mismatched structures make for unhappy neighbors.
