  Fun, and fun to learn that specific trivia. The grid is quite disconnected, but considering the theme density and symmetry I think it's a worthwhile trade-off. Well done!

    Thank you, kieranjboyd. Yes, it was a bit of a challenge to fit all the theme material in there with decent fill. I'm still getting used to midi-sized grids! :)

  very nice interpretation of the theme!! so many layers in this one... i first got confused what a "dream sweet" but then realized later the dream can go before or after the broken word... fun puzzle thanks cap'n!

    Thanks, Phil. Yes, it was challenging coming up with 5 words that could go with DREAM and could also be symmetrically split (i.e. "broken") along the BOULEVARD. I'm still getting used to the smaller grids too, but I'm finding them to be a lot of fun.

  I loved how you constructed the grid for this. Super creative, intuitive, and very smooth to solve.

    Thank you, Nick. I tried not to make the grid so compartmentalized, but the themers and fill wouldn't allow it.
