    Boutique Hotel | 1154 Broadway | Teele Square | Somerville

    Actually, that'd be 2011. Maria's Italian Cold Cuts next door was at least as big of a loss.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Fair points and I'd like to see that second residential happen ASAP, but *NO* to the ugly labspace block that, aside from being gross on its own merits, totally ruins the best view of One Congress.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Totally get where you're coming from. My guess(es) are thus: as regular riders become more familiar with it, they'll know to (for example) open their umbrella earlier (or leave it open longer) or truly torrential days; I expect there will ultimately be some type of "join" between the headhouse...

    Bill Russell Bridge | North Washington St.

    I think we can possibly all agree this is one development/project that is a complete success.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown
