Learned via my friend's instagram story that the WHOOP is visible from probably a good percentage of seats at Fenway

For the 2022 Red Sox, they should change the sign to WHIFF.

Thanks for the update! The before pic for comparison. Also the link to the Epsilon report that started it all. For better or worse, this side of the square has been under construction for at least 5 years, I'm glad it's done. Although they still need to pave the street. And whats up with Related Beal not donating a glass canopy over the T entrance!!??

Backs of the buildings from 6/29. First the odd gray one.

Then this one with the 2 floors of glass above the gray exterior is the Whoops building.

Apparently they are going to change the location of the Citgo sign slightly. Going back in time, they should have just done this, and turned the Whoop building site into a 30+ story anchor tower for Kenmore (angled to ensure visibility of the sign). I would still be in favor of razing the current building, even though it's basically new, and putting up something that doesn't suck. Obviously that's not really feasible at the moment, but maybe/hopefully it will be replaced again within many of our lifetimes.

Moving the CITGO sign: Plans underway to relocate Boston landmark (slightly)

"We'll be replacing the white panels with new panels and then refurbishing the letters and logo and reinstalling it on the new location."

Apparently they hold events on the building's roof. That's cool at least. Found these pics during my typical searches.

In more ways than one. Was talking to someone who works in the building a few weeks back, and they mentioned that the exhaust for the restaurant is immediately adjacent to the intake for the office HVAC so the place smells like tacos all the time.

You’re baiting me, aren’t you?

Smells like tacos all the time? Is supposed to be a good or bad thing? I can't tell.

I was wondering the same when I read that post this morning

Just ate a burrito here yesterday, I can’t imagine you’d want to smell that in your office all day. Definitely a bad thing for multiple reasons

Oh, you thought I meant taco in the literal sense
