Construction on the Big Dig may be over, but the controversy isn't. In this illustrated slide show talk, David Kruh, a former Big Dig spokesperson, will show how Boston has changed over the past 400 years, from the reduction of Beacon Hill, through the filling in of the Back Bay, ending with the country's most expensive construction job - the Big Dig. You'll go deep inside the project's tunnels and soar high above the towers of Boston's stunning new bridge over the Charles River. You'll also learn about the amazing technological advances that were used to build this monstrous project in a working city, and how the price climbed to a reported $22 billion! Whether you're interested in Boston history, a fan of technology, or just an angry taxpayer who wants to see the actual hole into which the government dumped your money, this is a must-see show. Led by David Kruh, who served as a spokesman and webmaster He is also the author of several other books, notably two on Boston's Scollay Square and Building Route 128. David's most recent book is Inseparable: An Alcatraz Escape Adventure.
