I walked by this building today. They built up the corner to look like the Winchell School. They just need to add the brickwork over the concrete.

Equilibria-Thanks so much for the information, but what a disappointment! No housing included at all. I thought that maybe at least 10 stories of housing would be a good fit especially somewhere in the parking lot. I was expecting something like the Arsenal Mall redevelopment in Watertown but on...

Across the street at Twin City Plaza Supercuts and Sally's are closing. The employees of Supercuts were handing out cards to show other locations. They told me that the landlord does not want to renew their leases. The former Rite Aid still sits empty. I wonder if there are long term plans for...

Maybe they are going to convert the first floors from office/clinical space to apartments? I believe that MGH has some office space in these buildings.

From top to bottom the steps read as follows; One love, one planet, one people, one dream, many hearts. They are also painting the other set of steps. It is blocked off so all I could see was two hands in the shape of a heart at the bottom set of steps. The painted steps add a much-needed pop of...

In the fifth photo it looks as if they are advertising a giant cannabis building under construction! A visitor who did not know that this was Somerville and not Chelsea might be a little confused.

Thanks so much for these photos! I live in Cambridge Crossing and would never have done so with a prison as a neighbor. By the way the building on the left (former meat processing facility) is still standing. It was refurbished as part of the Elevate apartment complex. Other than that most of...

I just read that Bon Me Foods is coming to CX at 222 Jacobs Street (near Tatte Bakery). I think that it is a good choice to add to the mix.

The Lechmere self-service car wash (blue roof) is now gone. I have to check to see if the old brick building with the tattered awnings (Boston Reptile) is still standing.

It may have something to do with the Earthshot Prize enviornmental award being presented on Friday. The city turned on green lights at City Hall today during the visit of Prince and Princess of Wales. We should be seeing a lot of green lights this week.

Hopefully I did not miss this in the transit and infrastructure posts but I noticed that they are changing the lights in the I-93 tunnel. I was headed south today and noticed that the lighting was much brighter than usual. Then I noticed individual lights instead of the longer connected ones...

The bus shelters at the Lechmere Station have not been finished. They are fenced off with the equipment and partially constructed benches inside. At least being under the Greenline tracks keeps the rain away but the winter wind will be another matter. Hopefully this is completed before then so...

Maybe once the lots next to REI are filled in with the apartment building and lab space it will not seem so out of place. The Shed (Lexington, Lamplighter) are part of the central park. The small one-story building next to Park 151 is associated with that building. The REI building is just out...

I purchased a condo in the Tango Building in 2006 (pre-construction). I knew that eventually this area would fill in with buildings but that it would take a long time. Over the years I have watched each building go up and anticipated the next expansion. Even with the development unfinished we...

Bristol Myers Squibb has put up signage on the top of their new building that faces I-93. Bristol Myers Squibb is not open yet but the Sanofi buildings have had some workers for a while. I still do not see any Sanofi signage up on top of their two buildings. Good advertising for all of the...
