It was also a major public funding project. The Greenway would be just as amazing as the High Line Park, which, by the way, truly is beautiful, if the public donated money as much money to it. The entire issue with The Greenway = $$$!!!

Taste of N.Y. on the Common? Boston considers Central Park-style restaurant Email|Print|Single Page| Text size ? + By Jonnelle Marte Globe Correspondent / June 14, 2008 NEW YORK - A clutch of Boston officials journeyed to New York City parks yesterday in search of ways to rejuvenate their own...

So, you're saying that Belkin allowed only one architect, to submit proposals? Why, then, did they advertise for architects to submit renderings? It's odd. Personally, I don't think this thing will even get built, at least not for many years.

Millennium Park has been in the top three tourist destinations in The USA since its opening. Imagine the amount of dollars that brings to the city.

My comments are mainly directed toward the people who are complaining that we're building a park at all.

Actually, I just reread the article. Lyons is going to build a 2,500 person capacity club. Then I googled Avalon's capacity. Here's what I got: So, it's not going to be that much bigger. Basically, it sounds like he'll join Axis and Avalon together. That's fine. I've seen many shows at both...

There's still The Paradise Rock Club up on Comm. Ave. It's not as big as Avalon, but it tends to get similar bands. I'm wondering about this "movable stage". Maybe that will be a plus?

Wow! That completely captures the feel of Boston. You just reminded me why I love this city so much. Thanks, I needed a reminder.
