I believe the project transitions from steel to concrete superstructure at this point (where the top of the core is now), so they probably need to finish the steel before they switch to concrete.

And based on that response I assume you feel that Storrow is superfluous looking at the totality of our vehicular infrastructure?

But don't we already have an esplanade for that?

It has to do with their sponsorship of the Israel Football Assn., which has teams from settlements in the Gaza Strip. Those settlements are considered war crimes under international law for displacing Palestinians.

I agree that the demo didn't help, but it's still a pretty poor effort. 128 soulless architecture in a downtown square that we should be making our best effort to promote good architecture and placemaking. This is doing the exact opposite. The brick work - ouch. The apologetic curve in the...

Totally disagree with the Pru. It's nothing like the junk being proposed today.

You're right, it won't be that difficult. It will be ridiculously difficult. I don't want to be right...I hope I'm not right...but I've seen this happen too many times to take the glass half full position.

If you spent any time inside the North Station Garage around noon during construction of the Hub, you'd reek of the sweet leaf.

It didn't. That's why we are stuck with the smaller one.

To build off that (because this is a discussion I can actually contribute to), the reason fall is better is because the tree is entering dormancy, and less stressful than a spring planting where the tree is putting most of its energy into new top growth. In the fall, soil temperatures are still...

Your comments on this matter are childish and an insult to those who are trying to earn a living in digital/print media. Your whining about the red and orange line car procurement/production for the last 5 years - or however long it has been - is equally annoying. If you don't like it and have...

The 95 NB off ramp reconstruction at Bear Hill is well underway. I also noticed that Mayer Tree Service was conducting some significant vegetation removal around the Route 20 rotary. Not sure if it's related to the rotary project, as vegetation management was needed regardless.

The Bushwood Country Club parking lot probably has some spaces. Give them a call and ask for Judge Smails.

He is definitely Boston's most famous rapper (if someone replies with Donny Wahlberg, I'm gonna have an aneurysm). Guru's lyrics were creative and thoughtful, but the phrasing/cadence was rather clumsy sometimes (I always thought it was DJ Premier's production that made Gang Starr's work...

I appreciate the creativity, but this would probably be a more accurate representation of Boston in 2339...

You can wait until you're 6 feet under, but you'll never get something "worthy" (as per your subjective definition) built on this site...at least until we bring back low wage labor, minuscule material and land costs, and/or people who care about vanity over ROI, and eliminate people who are...

I cant get excited about this at all either. I'm tired of super blocks, I'm tired of the same old, lazy, and uninspired architectural motifs (that's not an indictment on designers, but rather the people that pull their strings), I'm tired of not pushing for greater density where it absolutely...

For the north end, this is like building the Burj Khalifa.

Haverhill Street needs more than just trees. From my perspective, given the complete lack of retail frontage (and no real way to achieve it), and its use as merely a pick up and drop off for various shuttle buses, I'm not sure trees can salvage it. Expend resources elsewhere.

They've started installing glass on the lower portion of the office tower (Portal Park side). It looks pretty high quality to this layperson's eyes.
