New over old

Lowell is refreshing and renewing some neglected factory streets just south of the downtown core. They have ripped up old road surface and the trolley lines that were under them, so they can lay down a broad sidewalk with shade trees.

I was glad to spot even older structures deeper down, like the brick arch you can see in the attached photo. The old Lowell will never completely go away.
