Gillette is located just on the outside of the metropolitan area and is surrounded by a sea of parking lots, and that is it.While Fenway is in the center of and at the end of the popular shopping street, Newbury, in Boston, on of our nations favorite cities. Now, why is this more of and economic advantage? Because of the surrounding businesses, when someone visits Fenway, chances are they will vist a business in the immediate area. this way that area of Boston will see major economic succes.
