    121 Seaport Boulevard | Parcel L2 | Seaport Square

    That's kind of 1+1=3, in my opinion. Any barcade with a driving game would fall under that. I am, sadly, going to have to try this out. Maybe early on a weekday so it's not crowded. I just wish F1 had more tracks that were actually fun to drive - Red Bull Ring, Spa, and Suzuka, I guess Imola...

    Boston in Art

    Cute game-style marathon map from an Outside.com article. Don't know why they put the Zakim where the Neponset is, but otherwise it's kinda neat.

    Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    They were able to scramble cruisers to stop traffic. The police audio is something else: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/26/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-maryland/

    Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Both heartbreaking and terrifying. Thinking of all the people who were on the bridge when it happened - a reminder of how quickly life can turn due to things out of your control, something I'm all too familiar with at this point. Sounds like, amazingly, they've gotten two people alive out of the...

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Wouldn't the Hynes be over the tracks?

    I'm sure this has been posted here before, but I have a work trip in the New Haven area, and I encountered this today, which may be the single most cheeky bit of architecture I've ever seen: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MvWLNGVGqDhD9WpM6

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    I'm usually more of the preservationist type for these things, but man, that hotel (it's a Wyndham now, I guess?) has got to go. Drives me nuts that One Post Office Square had to be reclad, but this Topeka-Thinks-Its-Vegas looking thing sticks around like a cockroach. Sorry to go off topic...

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    I'm glad that it appears to be more of a restoration than a redesign. That has always been one of my favorite outdoor spaces in the metro area.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    My parents would read that to my late son when they watched him. Excellent book.

    Hawai'i

    Looks like you did Hawaii the "right" way by picking one island and sticking to it. We island hopped for our honeymoon (4 days on Waikiki as a base with daytrips to the big island and Maui and then 3 days in Kauai) and I got pretty burned out with all the tours. There were some other extenuating...

    Quincy General Developments

    I've always wondered what the history of that odd office-park-lite section of Newport Ave. is. It's so incongruous to it's surroundings. Very little of the adjacent marshland got developed, did environmental law prevent that?

    Kendall/MIT Infill and Small Developments

    I see what they've done with those sculptures/benches, they're cool, but man are the trypophobics going to hate them.
