    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    Now I'm confused. Which one of the renders is the current iteration. I thought the two renderings above were the original proposal, and now we have a much slender tower proposal. Is that not the case?

    General Boston Discussion

    I don't live in Boston, but I've been impressed by her actions and talk. She has a series of videos on Instragram where she commutes with a different Boston resident every week to hear their frustrations with transit in Boston. Politics are difficult, but at LEAST she appears to care and...

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Cool shot. The two buildings to the immediate left along Boylston are still there!

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    After really studying it on the map, you are correct.

    New Bedford Developments

    Is that the bridge shown in "Finest Kind" the movie?

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    I just noticed another VERY small area for improvement. The Hingham ferry terminal is shown on the bay between E. Weymouth and W. Hingham. In actuality, I believe it would be located on the bay between W. Hingham and Nantasket Jct. Looking on the Google Map, I can see where the ferry...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    You should submit that map to them. It's SO MUCH better than the official MBTA map.

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    The MBTA needs to hire a real designer like Henry Beck. :)

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    I like the forward direction and positive tone of the Commonwealth article, but it kind of frustrates me a bit. Reading the article, it sounds like the MBTA and Keolis came up with the brilliant plan for a more all-day regional rail schedule on their own as a brilliant new idea to combat COVID...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    No, but that's a good thought! As others have said, it's a connection city with limited airline options/competition so they can charge premium prices.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    That word is used WAY TOO much in the Globe!!!!! Don't they own a thesaurus? If I had a nickel for every time they mentioned "soaring" then I would be a very rich person!

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I just want to know: Why does a simple flight to Omaha cost more than a flight to London? LOL I was thinking of heading back to Nebraska in May, and it's SO EXPENSIVE. I even checked Kansas City and Denver as options. The Midwest is a destination desert from Boston Logan.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I don't think people were complaining about natural light for the outside platform area. Multiple people had mentioned that now the existing interior Concourse is going to be dark. I don't think that small gap between the old and new structures was going to provide any natural light. At...

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    Thanks! I was just quickly thinking of communities that only had 1 station near their border. You are totally correct, I forgot about Assembly. (It wasn't around when I lived in Somerville.) I wasn't trying to equate the heavy rail with light rail as the same service level. I suppose a...

    It's so GREEN. Just like Singapore!
