Anyone know the last time there was regularly scheduled commercial service at Norwood?

I agree in a perfect world, but have you noticed all of the retail vacancies a few blocks away in and around the financial district and Downtown Crossing? It does no one any good to build more retail only for it to sit empty for years. Most of the retail near the "new" Ritz towers has been...

I wasn't asking for it in 6 months or to close the airport for any construction. But 4 years seems a little long to me for an above ground parking garage even in the middle of an operating airport.

I thought construction was supposed to start in 2026. If that is still correct, 4 years to build a garage?

So the tortoise is strategically placed to signify the excruciatingly slow speed of this project? Slow and steady wins the race (to mediocrity and overspending).

Obviously not the same in terms of size and scope but the long-delayed LAX one is now rumored to cost over $3.3 billion. Random guess for a Logan APM = $1.4 billion.

I have not been myself but reports are it is not the same (same business but not the "same" as it was in the old location) with much higher prices and minimal, unhelpful staff. YMMV. I have fond memories (actually it was a PITA) of my mom taking me shoe shopping at the old Barn in the 80s...

They used to have music performances and events (I saw daytime trivia one time) in warmer months.

This! I don't understand why the steps are ever closed during the day. Are we trying to encourage people to linger in Downtown Crossing or just walk through on their way to somewhere else?

You mean besides the public's money? 2 years is outrageous for this project in the center of the city.

I thought Madrid was going to be year round?

So that makes two carriers with non-stop flights from Logan to Porto. Impressive, even if both are just seasonal. Porto is amazing.

And MSN too! Will we ever see Sun Country's expansion at Logan? They announced BOS--MSN right before COVID and obviously cancelled it.

Apparently I am the only one in Greater Boston who would only take this flight if they ran it in the winter months to ski in BC. Vancouver and BC is beautiful in the summer but so is much of New England. Are these all Alaska cruise ship passengers? If not, are there really that many summer...
