Saturday in the Seaport

^^ I wish that Courthouse entrance looked less like a public toilet.

Yes agreed, it really is an eyesore that also blocks the sidewalk in an awkward way

Honestly, I wish it were a public toilet; not enough public toilets in Boston!

I remember when we were all convinced it was a "temporary" headhouse. The expansive mezzanine with its very un-MBTA-like futureproofing ensured that station entrances would get moved inside future buildings ala Downtown Crossing or Prudential.

Wow! Despite all the stuff that's been built there's still tons of space left to build on. Hopefully the area's development trajectory continues far into the future.

Seaport be like https://www.pinterest.ca/paulsmithe/flattops/

 

[Arlington]

The should have allowed a spine of taller buildings--maybe just 6 to 8 stories taller-- down the spine, maybe even setback (like the back half of the buildings that front seaport blvd on the south)

Wouldn't have blocked anyone's views. Needn't have cast any new shadows on the street

Could they even do that without running into the FAA limits?

Ok, so only 2 more stories? I think they could go to 274 feet, but have a flat 250?

What’s up with the slats running across the lawn in this one?

What’s up with the slats running across the lawn in this one?

They've been there for years. I believe it was done as a deterrent to organized sports playing on the open field. There's a couple signs flanking both sides of the lawn that basically say "NO FUN ALLOWED."
