Everyone else has coasted on his predecessor's accomplishments until his administration slowly ground to a halt (thinking of Street and Kenney).

I mean, I appreciate how far Walnut has come over the last 15 years baring some of the national economic trends it’s gone up against recently. Newbury St has been established as a high end retailer corridor for quite some time. Contrasting that, there were parts of Walnut that were still little shabby 10-15 years ago. And then all of the sudden, I remember being amazed when we got an Apple store and then a Theory and then a Barney’s and then they tore down the old shabby looking building on 15th/Walnut and put up the building where Cheesecake Factory is now. There definitely was a retail boom and it all happened pretty fast. It really changed the vibe.
