I'm 51, and grew up in the late 70's and 1980's, when Revere Beach Blvd was very rundown, and the beach sand itself was a bit dirty. Now it's pristine, and the boulevard is spotless as well. They really cleaned up the area nicely, but it certainly doesn't have that fun honky-tonk vibe of years past. The whole area is gentrified. I'm actually from Everett, one city away from Revere, and reside in Chelsea, MA, which is also getting quite gentrified.
