The Atlantic Monthly is moving out of Boston after almost 200 years. It started in a townhouse near Boston Common in 1857. The move is part of a 'downsizing' of one of the great cities in this country. Two other Boston paragons - Gillette and Fleet Bank - were bought earlier this year and are now part of companies based in other parts of the country.
The consolidation of companies - which leads to fewer and fewer individual companies - seems to be leading to what might be considered a consolidation of cities, in that power seems to be concentrating more and more..
