In 2007, Hub goes Hollywood, theaters face changes

We had budget cuts and high-profile exits, a city shut down by a cartoon marketing campaign, and movie stars seemingly everywhere. One big museum started knocking down walls, another drew hundreds of thousands of people to South Boston's once barren Fan Pier. We chuckled at the brawl at Symphony Hall and wondered when the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art might finally let us into Building 5. And was that really David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen together onstage?
