Looks like we almost said the same thing at the same time, although I think you said it better than me...

I said it "may have been bigger", not that it explained it as the end-all. The T station helped start the momentum. Regardless of T station, there is definitely a delayed effect on neighborhoods that evolve naturally. People move-in earlier (in the 80's, in this case), but retail and...

That's been my sentiment too, while waiting for it to finish-up. In addition to seeing the building, just being able to walk the sidewalk without scaffolding will be nice. Is the DD coming back?

I was mainly saying what it felt like in the 90's as a point-in-time, and the fact that these changes aren't anything new (as in the last couple decades), and was defending younger people occasionally being blamed today. I was actually trying to say mostly what you just said (which I agree...

While I agree to some extent, the issue is that Sligo has two identities -- it's original customer base, and the scene that started to descend in the 90's. So, different people are addressing two different targets. I've only been to Sligo twice, and both times were in the 90's, although I've...

That's kind of what I was wondering before -- whether they were just thinking of building over it or in piecemeal in some way without replacing, or at least without replacing in entirety. It didn't seem that a company that's been doing this for awhile now, with experience in dealing with...

People talk of Southie as a single entity, but the absolute bulk of Southie's transformation is still in the western half -- especially the western third, west of Dorchester St, and to a lesser degree the middle third, between Dorchester St and L St. The western third is almost an extension of...

Tim Logan also has an article today: https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2019/07/31/new-owner-land-ready-move-forward/0JnPI7UME96kbmh8Hr4EyI/story.html Also interesting:

Dragon Pizza has a different facade from Martsa, but from the overhead view, it looks like it is part of the same building. I wonder if they just intend to build on top somehow? If they are truly planning to do many future projects in the area, and want to maintain a good relationship with...

On the Cambridge side of the Longfellow rebuild, on the immediate west side of the bridge, there is a small park area with a grassy trench that is supposed to have water (or appears to, since there is a pipe system connecting them), but is still empty, other than a little water and mud in the...

I can see that too, especially next to a casino, and in an area they want to turn into an entertainment district in the long term. I've been to Top Golf a couple times while at conferences in Vegas. I don't care about golf either (have never played) and would have never gone had I not been...

I've stayed in two of them. It's my preferred option nowadays when staying in NYC, but I've stayed in one, one time in Paris too. Prices are relative to the city, which is what the discussion was, given there is not another in the city to compare to.

I'd imagine it is certain drivers or stops (or combinations) that have perceived dangers? I just used the 70 yesterday afternoon round-trip to go to the RMV, and used the rear door both times. But I was only using (and only paying attention to others at) major stops with a decent number of...

I wonder, though, if those are still mitigated, soft-opening prices until the noise and rumbling of the office tower construction finishes.
