    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    This whole section of Columbus has been devoid of commercial activity for eons. Even with the retail opening up in Lightview and ISEC finally getting a replacement coffee shop, it still feels like it's still missing something. Wonder what it'll take to get things feeling "right."

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    Seems like they're just going to keep changing it until it gets built. This is what, the fourth iteration of the design? Feels like this one will stick, at least. I was more partial to the third design.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    It’s unfortunate how it’s easier to accomplish this than it is to get 840 Columbus approved.

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    Missed this originally, and the meeting ended up being cancelled, but there was a task force meeting scheduled for 6/22. Wonder if it’s a sign that the ball might get rolling again on this project sometime soon...

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Same hours as ISEC, public is literally anyone off the street. No clue with respect to the roof garden, though.

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Big day - the bridge stairs have finally reopened! You now no longer need to talk through ISEC to get across the tracks.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Speaking of these buildings, they’ve added some colors with country names to the stairs for commencement. It’s a nice little pop.

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Concrete poured and some landscaping planted.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    This is already kinda sorta enacted. The Sheraton (now dubbed 39 Dalton to make it sound more like a dorm and not a hotel) is currently housing NU students and is fully staffed by university residential life staff. Looks like this might be a proposal to formalize the decision.

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Sidewalk work in progress. Pictures only show the work in between ISEC and EXP, but there’s also some work happening at the front of the building as well. Construction fence was pushed out slightly to accommodate that work.

    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    Wasn't referring more so to a lot of the buildings along Columbus Ave adjacent to the Lightview building.

    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    Things aren't even cheapened in places - they're just deliberately wrong. Certain buildings that are no more than 4 stories tall look like they go up at least 12 stories. EDIT: Also lol, they turned East Village into a giant concrete slab for some reason.

    The Official MBTA System Map

    Saw this alternate map on Reddit by /u/Gamereric21. Looked really sharp.

    Better MBTA Station Names

    Rename Mass Ave to Matthews maybe, in honor of Matthews Arena (original home to the Bruins and Celtics). That way, Mass Ave is cleared up to be used in renaming Hynes. EDIT: Seems as if @bigeman312 had the same idea as me.

    Better MBTA Station Names

    Newbury/Esplanade or Newbury/Berklee don't seem too fitting for the current Prudential stop, Berklee is just as close to the Symphony and Hynes stops as it is to the Prudential stop and the Esplanade (and Newbury, for that matter) is closer to many more stops on the GL than the Prudential.

    View Boston (Observatory) | Prudential Tower | Back Bay

    If it was spring, surely a date would have been announced already.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    And this has relation to the OL train cars how...?

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Only a pedestrian dead end on days when the building is closed (aka either Sundays or holidays when the university is closed). It is open to the public Monday-Saturday. NU card access is also not for all NU students, but only those conducting research inside ISEC.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    It would have taken all of two seconds to actually just find it yourself in the "Transit and Infrastructure" section, instead of just complaining and saying to "Deal with it."
