Make way for Clipper Ship Wharf!

Progress marches onward in East Boston. Not only are the new residences at the old Maverick Gardens coming along nicely (and the retro-grid layout is SO nice), but it looks like the beginnings of the new Clippership Wharf (which will possibly feature Eastie's first Starbucks) are taking shape. Walking down Sumner Street this morning I found that the abandoned warehouses next to LoPresti Park (where only a short time ago television crews were filming "The Way") have been torn down, and only rubble remains. At least until the luxury condos get built, there will more open harbor space from which you can see the Boston skyline.
