Walked by 366 Broadway, being torn down. :D

Great photos. Im some ways, this outdoor space gives me vibes of a posher, roomier version of Bow Market in Somerville. Obviously apples and oranges, but the way it's tucked back a bit from the commotion of the street, with multiple levels, places to sit, and a hodgepodge of storefronts that...

Ohhhhh. I hadn't followed that thread for a while, I never thought it would actually happen. Interesting, thanks!

I don't know if this is related to development on this parcel (which I thought had been stalled), or is part of the overall Fens accessibility/drainage project, but it was really jarring to see this "park" cleared of trees. I used to live in one of the adjacent Feinberg tenements, and would...

494 Medford St. This sat idle for a while but it looks like there's been more movement since last time I walked by. The adjacent former K-2 liquor store appears to becoming... wait for it... a dispensary. At least it's getting a nicer paint job. 35 Richardson St., new build, 4 units on an...

Oh, this actually makes sense. It took me a while to understand what you were describing, but I think I understand after looking at old mapjunction images. Thanks!

This is tangential to the thread, but I couldn't find a better place to ask something I've long wondered: why does the elevated northbound side briefly return to grade for a signalized intersection at Somerville Av/Poplar St, while the southbound side remains elevated entirely? Was is always...

Yikes. Chill out man, that's why I said it was a genuine question, I was merely curious for clarification on what you meant in your original assertion (and by "nefarious," I meant not about the product being sold, but rather on maybe bad blood with neighbors or something like that, I'm not...

Are you saying that because it's a liquor store? Or is there something more nefarious with their business vis-a-vis the new development? Genuine question, I'm not sure about the history here. I had just assumed they owned their property, which is why the project was to be built around them...

Memorial Drive has been reduced to one lane westbound from just before Amesbury St. to the BU bridge. Is this related to changes in cycling infrastructure and/or the recent death? Cause I didn't see any changes on the EB side, where the incident occurred. Maybe it's unrelated and/or...

Random question (re: pic #10): why does Lansdowne, a two-track station, have them labelled Track 5 and Track 7?

Fair enough. From what I remember from my visit here last week, I saw those other tenants as well, but just assumed based on their locations that they wouldn't get to share that view. I could be totally wrong though, and most definitely spoke out of my ass. That being said, now I really do...

Man, seeing this view, I would love pretty much anything else to occupy this space other than a frickin car dealership. A coffee shop, a restaurant, a cocktail lounge. Hell, a dentist office visit would be bearable while watching traffic drone on below.

Had the pleasure of swinging by here yesterday. It gave me kind of a Bow Market vibe, although perhaps a bit more corporate, and less compartmentalized. It was hard to envision how much of the public space/seating areas will be reserved for patrons of the various tenants (restaurants/etc.).

I seem to remember they had lighting similar to this lining the Vassar St bike lanes in Cambridge, like almost 20 years ago. I don't think they lasted long. But i remember them looking cool and futuristic. I am a little nervous about that bike lane though, I know there's a lot of fencing...
