A certain forum member (we won't name names) enjoys regaling fellow members in threads with seeming random bits of trivia and historical tidbits. As a service to that member (and to the rest of us), I figured we could have one thread dedicated to these wonderful antidotes so that they will have...

Lot of discussion on this board about this topic lately, so as suggested, here is a one-stop shop for all rants, raves questions and other observations. Probably a good place to discuss other large, non-profit institutions here as well, MFA, ICA, MGH, etc..

Hey all. Wondering about some old project that nobody has updated in awhile? Looking for some new info on a long buried thread? Have some new thoughts on a project that that hasn't been discussed in months? Please don't drag up up old threads just to ask if there is any new info. If you have...

Hey all. I forget who it was who suggested the current new project thread naming convention a while back: Project Name | Project Address | Project City/Neighborhood It's great! I think it works really well and honestly just looks nice. Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble keeping it...

Post products and properties that would appeal to your fellow archBostonian. Generally things that are related to art, design & architecture. Price not an issue but they must actually be available for sale, so no museum pieces, etc. The more unique/obscure the better, but if you find something...

Hey guys, This is just an informal poll. I'm not asking as a moderator and nothing will change as result of this poll. I'm honestly just curious what most people here think. Does the political & off topic chatter in non-political threads bother you? Would moving posts or reprimanding posters...
