As someone who frequently bikes and sometimes drives this stretch, I totally agree, overall this will be way better. One point and two questions. Point: I do wish they would put in more bocce courts. I think it would be pretty cool to have maybe a half dozen (with maybe some additional...

Regarding whighlander, he occasionally posts over on UHub under the nom de plume "Nowy Liberté," although he's never registered that name so one can't search for him or track any posts. Same shit, different venue.

I believe that intersection is High St. and Summer St., with 175 Federal next to it. Which would put 1 Financial in front of it and definitely in the shot, as well as the Fed building. So, less of a cloud layer and more of a selective building-eating mist... Really hate what you guys on this...

Universal Hub item: No kidding, developer swears: This time they're really going to start work on new Boylston Street building where Shreve Crump and Low used to be | Universal Hub

Just wanted to say thanks a lot for this info, it's much appreciated.

I'm generally just a lurker on these pages but now I'm curious, as someone who knows nothing about construction other than what I've seen in photos on here. Is a concrete core a relatively new construction practice that was implemented after 9/11? What is its purpose? I had assumed that it...

Long time lurker, glacially infrequent poster. Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive outdoor camera that I could use for monitoring a remote site that I could use to make a time lapse video like this? I really just need something that would take one picture a day. I looked at a few wildlife...

Just a quick question - is there a thread that's following the work going on along Memorial Drive? I haven't seen any discussion of it on here at all but maybe I'm missing it. I'm particularly curious to know what that crane was doing.

Aha! I get it. Very interesting. Thanks for helping me out.

Thanks everyone for the explanations; much appreciated. So do the cylinders get worked into the floors underground somehow?

Hey so I'm a long-time frequenter of this site but an almost-never poster (as you can see from my post count). I've seen quite a few of these construction photos now and I am wondering about those long cylindrical horizontal steel structures that they always seem to put in first on these...

Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex Hey Matthew, did they give a timetable on when this will open?

Dude, this is right across Union Square from my house. I like the no additional cars idea a lot, and I hope it works out that way, because an additional input of traffic right there is probably going to jack up the traffic in the Square something fierce (more than it already is). If it works...

Drum roll please... A Rite-Aid. And before that... An Osco Drug! There was also the Cafe Belo in the portion that they tore down due to fire damage.

You guys just know you are going to be jealous when it's all done and... and... CVS-ey. Hey, I'm genuinely curious to know what people's general opinions are: would you rather see a site like this stay abandoned in the hope that a developer with an awesome plan comes along someday, or would you...
