Yup, Hotel Vernon is still there. The Banner is still there. Dive Bar would still be there except the owner of the building refused to renew the lease or something because another business wanted to move in. The building has of course been vacant for several years since. Brilliant work there...

I saw that posted on reddit. I don't understand why Boston 25 "News" is covering it. I guess the construction company is kind of messing up the streets and making a mess. OK, fine, let's assume that's true and that it's bad. But the city is talking to the contruction company which voluntarily...

It's certainly a major media narrative/topic right now. I don't think the vast majority of fans are bent out of shape about the Sox performance but there are some loud, unreasonable, and ridiculously hostile fans squawking endlessly right now and the sports media raison d'etre is to feed off...

The base looks like the first floor of the Hampton Inn that's down the street from me. I don't really know how one looks at that things and concludes it's art deco. However, it does look incredibly on brand for Houston.

It's kind of terrible too? It's mostly a massive room with a weird split lofted section, no entryway (those doors seriously open onto the street?!?), and not particularly appealing bedrooms. Plus it's on the first floor in a lousy location. I have an 850 sq. ft. one-bedroom downtown and I...

Isn't it actually a party wall since the north station tracks can be built over? Or am I wildly misremembering?

Wire. Aren't tower cranes are generally electric powered?

Take the victory lap. It might be preferable to drink a gallon of bleach if the alternative is to take on the memberships of TCC, Charles River, and Brae Burn in a battle for what's theirs.

Parking is desperately needed in that area today.

I love the giant multi-story murals scattered around downtown. However, that wall is going to be blocked by 35 Portland St. in a few years.

I've been through a few times now and it's far from great but it's a huge upgrade. The old Kelly Square was just that bad. It doesn't have the same sort of chaotic and unpredictable feel anymore. Again, not great, but better.

Absolutely hideous but whatever, build it. Especially with the market. That's a game changer for downtown.

I saw someone online describe the visual as hands presenting a yam. Their mind is surely more wholesome. And look at that, more interpretation!

Maybe. Impressions of art certainly can change over time. The Day 1 impression is remarkably terrible though.

It looks like the artist presenting poop to the city of Boston: "Here you go, I made this!"

San Diego? The end of the runway is a few blocks from the edge of downtown.

I don't think that's true at all. There are a lot of people buying used cars because it's what they can afford and they're stuck with whatever was on the road years prior. Even if the new car market moves strongly toward fuel efficiency the used car market will be stuck with a ton of SUV and...

$110M for a 200 seat theater. A bunch of the seats don't even come close to facing the stage. *insert angry, perhaps beligerant rant about college tuition costs* But cool,. HC can keep up with construction at Bucknell, Colgate, and Leheigh. Jesus wept.

This is fantastic. Build, build, build.

Oh, I forgot about the awful cantilevers. Another huge improvement buffing those out.
