So tired from moving today. I'll take some pics soon from the Baxter Place pimphouse.
City council is on right now. They are hammering the guy trying to build the student housing on Marginal way. This is not good, cause it is Cheryl Leeman bashing him. Can't imagine what the other councilors are going to do. She goes "I can't imagine 400 college kids let loose in this area". Okay, well, how about 400 homeless people and scumfucks let loose everyday. Oh my god, Boston has 250,000 college kids let loose. Oh no.

Burnham Arms race
The vacant lot between Geno's rock club and the Burnham Arms apartment building on Congress Street is being readied for development. According to the city's planning division, Michael Burnham of MPB Properties has submitted an application to build a four-story building on the site. The first floor would be retail space, with a total of 15 apartments on the three floors above.
The Burnhams own a host of Portland properties, including the building Geno's moved into a little over a year ago. The rock club has another year on its lease, with an option for two more years after that, though the new residential development next door could complicate that arrangement.
The new building will occupy the site of the long-defunct Capitol Theater, a popular movie house in the early-to-mid part of last century. The theater fell into disrepair after the larger Fine Arts Cinema opened next door in the early 1960s. It was demolished a couple years ago, and has since been used sporadically as a parking area.
