To make matters worse, this building is clearly visible on the Sox TV broadcast, every time a home run clears the monster. Millions of people across the world are going to see it 81 days a year.

Hot damn. Built it now Then build twenty more.

In Tokyo sushi restaurants, one of the most prized cuts on the menu is "Boston Tuna"--fish that's caught here, flash-frozen, and then immediately flown out of Logan to Japan.

If we're moving brownstones, there's only one neighborhood they should go to: Roxbury, to help rebuild the once thriving urban fabric there that was deliberately destroyed.

Run a train through those towns, though, and they’d probably undergo some pretty rapid and significant growth (particularly in light of the new zoning law). Every time I drive through Medfield I’m tempted to pull up Zillow—the little downtown is that beautiful—but I would never actually consider...

Maybe one day we can move ALL the jobs out of the city! Stick this stuff out past 128. Cities are for living, not working!

Are there any renderings of the Newbury Street side of this? Sure would be nice if this stretch could be de-alleyfied a bit.

The ICA runs a ferry between Fan Pier and Piers Park. It’s designed to connect visitors to their shipyard annex, but anyone can buy a ticket. There definitely should be something cheaper, though.

The Custom House Tower is really going to pop from this angle when the glass is up.

The molasses tank was located right on the water, where those ballfields and pool are located now. There's a plaque there.

An important development that adds much needed density and paves the way for further height in the square revealed its facade this week and, uhhh, god damn it: Roslindale Square is filled with some truly beautiful old brick buildings, and this hideous, suburban siding spits at all of them...

Exactly. Given it's combination of scale, architecture, quietude, and walkable access to. . . literally everything, Bay Village is one of the very best urban neighborhoods in the entire country.

As recently as 1965 it still extended all the way to Newmarket: And both of those waterways are still there, in the form of culverts that empty into the channel here: If full-scale development in this location is just too difficult at this point, can we at least deck a park over the tracks...

Bingo. I live in the square now, and I’m only ever a “bus person” when the train schedule forces me to be one.

What's the story with this housing? Is it part of the bigger project and how much are we getting?
