I'll guess Back Bay and Charles MGH.

I wanted to pull stick n move's post about "garbage suburban office space" over here to this thread, because I have a confession to make: I love the '80s/'90s light PoMo office park aesthetic. Absolutely adore it. When I was growing up, these were the places I kind of aspired to work in...

Decades ago, my dad went to the old appliance store in Perkins Square looking for a part only to be politely informed that the store was a front. Same vibes here. (Although I don't think the TVs are necessarily a sign of that - most hotel chains now have a "Welcome Guest" slideshow running when...

Gillette Stadium is back to FieldTurf, which means the monster trucks could finally invade last night. Thursday night shows are very uncommon, but BTS is playing the stadium next week and they requested a few extra days to setup. Didn't seem to hurt the attendance at all! It's weird to me how...

That's ok, we don't need a connection to Summer St. there anyway. That one is scary in how perilously close it gets while still getting obvious stuff wrong - the Encore over in Cambridge, that weirdly canted building just behind 100 Federal, etc. There's a particularly bad AI Boston skyline...

Don't know if this is the right part of the forum for this but figured folks would like shots of the Dino Trolley ride the family and I took yesterday. Very low key but good fun, our baby girl enjoyed it. Not the biggest museum in the world but what was there was cool, and there's a small fire...

Wife had an appointment in town this morning so we headed over to Fanueil Hall for the Malibu Barbie Cafe. Which, frankly, was disappointing - she had a headache, and it was too crowded and noisy and we had to leave before even ordering. Which wouldn't have been a big deal except that you had to...

I feel like people generally "Keep off the grass" as a default now, and only venture on to it either in scenarios where it's known that you're OK to be on the grass, or where there is some activity or thing that prompts you to go on it. The design here, with so much more hardscape, definitely...

I think it's relevant to post the 2025-2026 attendance stats: These are, by and large, just above AHL numbers. Which is fine, and I think a reasonable expectation for the league at this point. Both Montreal and Toronto's arenas' primary tenants are the AHL. I think it's better both for...

I was involved with trying to move a VA clinic up to the 16th floor of the McCormack (replacing the 250 Causeway clinic - gov't leasing rules require the GSA to offer space first), and it was ultimately scrapped later on after the renovation costs for healthcare were found to be too high...

You don't. I think they're waiting to see if it stabilizes and then try to come up with a demo plan. The video from inside is pretty shocking, those guys should have spent more time getting out of there and less time getting photos. Lucky this hasn't yet turned into a Hard Rock New Orleans...

Well, this is not great! https://www.nbcnewyork.com/manhattan/fdny-responds-to-report-of-buckling-building-in-manhattan/6522605/

Fast cars go vroom... Local homies Turner Motorsport, they used to be based in Amesbury but are now just over the border in Newton, NH:

And now for something completely different - the beautiful Watkins Glen International. 3.45 miles of a rollercoaster set on a hill above its namesake town and Seneca Lake. You can actually spot the track from the hills across the lake coming from the east. The main grandstand was originally at...

We need a cringe emoji for this one. Yeesh. I still can't get over how cheap and plasticly The Whoop still looks to me. The windows look like saran wrap.
