Nice live stream Actionkid. Does your brother Gary still lives in Boston Massachusetts? One time I saw you ran into your brother Gary on one of your live stream that you did since your last visit to Boston Massachusetts if I’m not mistaken. I saw someone in the chat saying that Primark used to be a department store called Filene’s Basement store. Quick fact about Former Filene’s Basement Boston Flagship(Currently Primark): Filene's Basement, also called The Basement, was a Massachusetts-based chain of department stores which was owned by Retail Ventures, Inc. until April 2009 when it was sold to Syms.
The oldest off-price retailer in the United States, Filene's Basement focused on high-end goods and was known for its distinctive, low-technology automatic markdown system. As of late 2006, the company operated stores in metropolitan areas in eight U.S. states and Washington, D.C. and used a 470,000-square-foot (44,000 m2) distribution center in Auburn, Massachusetts. The store's name was derived from the subterranean location of its flagship store, in the basement of the former Filene's department store at Downtown Crossing in Boston, Massachusetts. The flagship Downtown Crossing store closed in September 2007 while the building above it underwent construction and had been set to reopen following the conclusion of the construction.

The 2009 economic crisis negatively impacted the chain, prompting the closing of many stores and the eventual sale of the chain from Retail Ventures, Inc. to Buxbaum Group, which filed for bankruptcy in May 2009. Filene's Basement was then sold to Syms Corporation, which also owns the Syms chain of off-price stores. In November 2011, Syms filed for bankruptcy, resulting in a liquidation sale. The last Filene's Basement stores closed permanently on December 29, 2011. In 2012, private equity firm Trinity Place Holdings acquired by brand copyright to Filene's Basement. In fall of 2015, Filene's Basement was reopened exclusively as an online retailer.

History
The history of Filene's Basement is intertwined with that of the venerable Filene's chain. In 1908, Edward A. Filene, son of the founder of Filene's, William Filene, came up with the idea of selling surplus, overstock, and closeout merchandise in the basement of his father's store. Filene's "Automatic Bargain Basement", as it was originally called, opened in 1909 beneath the Downtown Crossing location.[4]
Filene's Basement, and its sister company, Filene's Department Store, were wholly owned by Federated Department Stores of Cincinnati. The two entities shared many operating systems, including payroll, benefits, and a common credit card. Top executives, at the time, included: Sam DiPhillippo (Marketing), Audie Dunham and Kathleen Collman (HR), and others.
Following the ill-fated acquisition of Federated by Campeau Corp. of Canada, Filene's Basement was spun off. It became a privately held venture in a LBO arrangement led by then-CEO & President Jim Anathan, Chairman Sam Gerson, and other investors. The entity became known as "Filene's Basement, Inc." and remained headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
In April 1988, Filene's was purchased and acquired by May Department Stores, and the fortunes of the stores diverged. Filene's Basement, now a separate company, embarked on a massive but ill-advised strategy of expansion that, ten years later, in August 1998, forced the chain to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; more than 30 outlets were shuttered.Filene's Basement's journey through the bankruptcy process was brief, and expansion soon resumed, albeit more cautiously.
In March 1999, the company debuted a new weekend warehouse store concept, Aisle 3. The stores, averaging 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2), operated only Friday through Sunday and were located near major metropolitan areas.[7] Plans were to open at least 10 stores by the end of 1999 and 40 to 50 stores in the following years, but ultimately only eight opened. All Aisle 3 location were closed following the purchase of Filene's Basement by Value City Department Stores Inc. (later Retail Ventures, Inc.) in March 2000. Soon afterward, three Filene's Basement locations reopened in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., and modest efforts at expansion resumed.[8]
In 2006, Macy's Department Stores purchased the original Filene's chain. Because many store locations between the two chains did not overlap, most Filene's locations were spared and reopened as Macy's, but the flagship location (which sat across the street from an existing Macy's store) was not. Macy's shuttered the Filene's in Boston's Downtown Crossing, directly above the flagship Filene's Basement location, and sold the building for redevelopment. That Filene's Basement location was subsequently closed on September 3, 2007, to accommodate the redevelopment project.
At the time, plans were announced to reopen Filene's Basement in the same location in 2009 (although the announcement also claimed there was no legal obligation to do so). Boston Mayor Tom Menino expressed concern that the chain was not able to find a temporary location for the store during the two-year renovation, saying they "could have found a location in the city if they really wanted to continue the business."[9] However, Filene's Basement had already opened a second Boston store in 2006, one mile away from the flagship store, on Boylston Street near Copley Square. Due to a number of factors, renovations on the Downtown Crossing site came to a halt during late 2008, leaving the building partially gutted; as 2009 came to a close, Filene's Basement had not moved back into their former space, as originally planned. FYI in case if anyone. did not know.

Boston is hands down the most aesthetically pleasing city in America, it has history everywhere you look, it's clean, and it's well kept. Except for the roads lol. they are a nightmare to drive on

So happy to see you back in Boston – and in the summer! I've watched most of your always excellent Boston walks in Fall, Winter, and Spring multiple times, but don't remember any from the summer months before this. Summer in Boston when the gardens are in bloom and leaves are on the trees is very special. Many thanks for this very enjoyable tour!

The sculpture depicts two people embracing its other.. either comforting the other or saying goodbye.

お？センタープラザだっ〜😮…！？だんだん名前が看板やら替わりますよね。そして、公園やらパーキングに替わり、空き地には見える？昔のビルが建っていた場所は？田舎では、地面下には古い地下街で閉じ込められて、上側には、田畑がのってるし？都市部は、地下街で古い街町は。まだ営業はしてるけど？離れてる、古い街町を地下鉄でつないではありましたよね？郊外あたりは、地下街上側は、単に宅地一戸建て住居エリアになってしまいました？やら、は、ありますが？また、古都扱いにされることもなく、埋没してますよね？😮ボンジョビさんらも、ジョンさんも地下アイドル扱いな、歌が以前、流行りましたよね？it's my LIFE〽♫歌やら。😮しかし、本当に埋没したエリアは→海に沈んだ街やらはレアメタルやらを採掘してるらしいし？地上でも、麻生先生は、会社やらセメント原料で、むかしの石灰岩ビルを砕き、たぶん、白い粉を山やら近いから削り崩して、東南アジアやらに輸出しているし？
