I think reason 2 is the primary culprit for most of the GLX issues.
That said, I am so happy the GLX exists at all. That Eng is fixing the rush-job screwups as quickly and as well as possible is also very encouraging.
Fully agree.

There’s still an abundance of “highbrow” content in Back Bay, but I get (at least some of) the sentiment being expressed by a few on here.
Interesting. I went on both Friday and Saturday and we couldn't get outdoor seating either day and had to wait forever to get served when we went indoors b/c it was so packed.

When I snapped the pic that prompted Shmessy's response-post, High Street Place Food Hall (literally across the street) was hoppin. "The Connector: Where Boston Comes Together" sucks.
Will is "suck less" eventually? Maybe. Is it -- or will it ever be -- even vaguely like what was promised by...
