Tain't Fit for Man or Beat So Rathouses Undergo Axe

It's not very important, except as a symbol of the change that's come over this place, but wrecking crew are pulling down the tenements at 59 Plympton and 58 and 60 Mount Auburn Street. Once the most fashionable residences for "the boys," these rat-houses are being torn down by their owner, the Fly Club, as not being fit for service men or their wives to live in.

The officers of the Fly were rather unhappy about it, but taxes is taxes, and Navy wives wouldn't have gone for the atmosphere. Now the traffic accident as Bow and Mt. Auburn, familiarly known as the Poon, will bask in sunlight, and the view from the Sanctum will be brightened by a "pleasant garden spot, surrounded by a hedge," 50 is still exclusive.
