Revere Beach was packed on Labor Day as the last day of the summer of 2007 went into the local history books. With the beach still all chopped up while receiving its new public face, it didn’t look nearly as good as it will look next year at this time.
Next year at this time the beach will be a veritable boomtown as new developments should be well underway by that time.
In many respects, the city itself is far better off today than it was just 6 years ago – and if Mayor Ambrosino leaves shortly as expected, his legacy will be all the development ongoing that will not be finished when he is gone.
