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

Ok, I give - where?

right next to where i work, so i should be able to take/post pix as development progresses!

from your keyboard to God's ears

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.

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...

Sure. For the same reason I don't wish the arches had doors. It's the outdoor part of the station and all aspects that enhance the "outdoors-ish-ness" of it are fun. The notion that walking under that extremely narrow "gap" will somehow ruin a person's outfit or hair or bag or whatever if it's...

In my time there, "Lower Allston" mostly meant - nothing is there and we are sad and want to hang out with people in actual Allston. :P

Prior to seeing this pic, I had no idea that "South Allston" was a thing -- and I owned/lived there for 13 years. Weird.

As long as Esther and her like are the loudest voices, we will continue to be crippled by a horrendous housing crisis and a ridiculously outdated, parochial backwater mentality. Move to Concord if you don't like living in the city. Jesus.

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

good!

I almost like the exploding Prudential Center (circa '93) aesthetic -- minus the transition from the headhouse to the tower. Thanks for sharing -- never seen that one!
