Fenway Triangle Trilogy of Anaheim Presented by Isuzu

Remember when you were a kid, and you set off for camp, and, all the time, you had this absurd fear that your parents would just up and move without telling you? That you’d come home and find an empty house, your parents long gone, while dirty hippie squatters played idly with the toys your folks did not even bother to pack.

Today, apparently, I moved an nobody told me. Where yesterday I lived in the Trilogy building, today I live in the Fenway Triangle Trilogy building.

This is the email from my landlord:

Dear Resident(s):

Trilogy is now officially Fenway Triangle Trilogy! As part of the continued revitalization of the Fenway neighborhood, development plans were announced in The Boston Globe on September 19th about the continued commitment to “transform the gritty triangle between Park Drive and Yawkey Way - where residents and neighborhood planners have long sought to create an urban village in the shadows of the ballpark.” Our new name reflects Trilogy’s significant role in this transformation and importance in the future of the neighborhood. You will notice all of our building signage and communication materials transferred to this new name in early November.

If you have any questions, please feel free to speak with the management or leasing teams. Thank You!

This is the article in the Globe, and it proposes some nifty ideas, such as building a new high-rise. More happily, the various body shops will be replaced by stores and high-end boutiques. And it's true. I'd much rather have a Banana Republic than a Goodyear Tire dealership. If we can replace those warehouses that look like they're straight off the Hostel set with a rip-off of Newbury Street, so be it.

True, this will probably drive up prices and rent. Given the state of the economy, I'll probably have to turn to a life of crime. That said, when I do steal from the new J. Crew store on Van Ness, the upshot is my hiding place will be literally across the street. Such convenience, of course, is priceless.
