Downtown Crossing is a shopping district that is a small part of downtown Boston, Massachusetts, located due east of Boston Common and west of the Financial District. It features large department stores as well as restaurants, souvenir sellers, general retail establishments, and street vendors. The section of Washington Street between Temple and Bromfield streets (and portions of Winter and Summer streets) are closed to most vehicular traffic; pedestrians may walk freely in the street.
Ladder District
Since the early 1900s, the area along Washington and Tremont Streets, roughly from School Street to Beach Street, has also been referred to as the Ladder District. The side streets between the two main thoroughfares look like the rungs of a ladder when viewed on a map, hence the name.
History
Early history

History
The Washington Street Tunnel carrying the Main Line Elevated (later the Orange Line) opened on November 30, 1908. Stations on the tunnel were built in pairs with different names and separate entrances, an appeasement to merchants on the street who desired maximal pedestrian traffic. Stations were located at Summer northbound with entrances at Summer Street and Franklin Street, and Winter southbound with entrances at Winter Street and Temple Place.

I've never been so sure of how I feel right now.The wave has now crashed over me and I'm already found. Because I just heard the news that someone's been looking. Someone's been looking in me. Looking in me. Please don't believe what you see. There's only so much on the surface. It can't be all of me. And if you were to find things that threaten what you feel. You'll be the first to admit it's nothing a lie can't heal. I was there, and wasn't it all that I wanted? Wasn't it all that I asked for? Wasn't it the first thing I knew? Now I can't tell. And who believes their hearts cannot be believed? And what does that say for me when I believed so foolishly? But now I know, because how far we've come together I don't think I could let you go. What you are still holds so much value and I just thought you might need to know. After all regret passed over, it's not your fault, and I have learned to accept the years have passed. Except for what you waste of it. Waiting never solves this, it's all in what you make of So this is the last song for you.
