Daughter had an appointment in this one today so I got to experience it first hand. It's beautiful inside and is incredibly modern and clean, state of the art for healthcare. More natural light than you'd expect.

That's way better than the original renders. I wonder how long the municipal lot has.

Be careful conflating "travelling for sporting events" with general tourism. This is anecdotal, but when I'm attending races I choose hotels based on price and location to the venue, not what is the best tourist spot. Hence why, when going to Daytona, I stay in Lake Mary on the Orlando suburbs...

The Convention Center is a 10 minute walk from the train station, and has both plenty of space for bus queuing and holding people both outside and inside if necessary (with plentiful bathrooms).

To that end (Frasier even appears in this one!), a video the algorithm served me about "Global Village Coffee House", the interior and graphic design scheme that I always find PoMo adjacent - it wasn't a strict part of the movement, but a lot of PoMo spaces in the 1990s also had this aesthetic...

This is quite the time capsule, 1997, right in the height of the Big Dig. Footage of the Museum of Science exhibit! This is the Boston I remember from my childhood.

I forget about how PoMo the Garden actually is.

That's one of my favorite views of the city. When you're driving down the ramp onto the Pike westbound it looks like a movie set in front of you with the buildings so dense and at so many different angles.

Did some Google Maps sleuthing and followed my instincts, and behold, top one is Fore River, the plant is on the Quincy side: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7N8PpYZeX1Sk2Lbb7 The second one is going to be much harder to place. Looks like a transfer station of some sort, with the pipe coming out of the...

How about some photos of where I actually live? Baby had her first Egg Hunt on the Common today, put on by the library. We have a tiny but quaint little downtown area that is quintessentially old New England town center. We're looking at houses so who knows how long we'll continue to be here...

Who names these things? Anyway...

Boston Children's this morning (nothing major, actually some good news for baby).

I'm on Fios and my wired connection gives me that error but not my wifi, and only with my usual logged-in account, if I do it in incognito mode there's no issues (but I have to log in every time). Odd.

God I hope that could happen. I think converting it to e-sports exclusive would be a mistake, but as a multipurpose venue that does e-sports, concerts, maybe G League basketball, and stuff like that could be a winner. It's a shame that when they built the Centrum they effectively left this one...

A few years back at the Westborough Library book sale I picked up Graphic Design USA 18, the Annual of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. It covers (roughly) the 1993-1997 timeframe and is just phenomenal, great early web stuff and a section on album art that includes all the good stuff...
