    Green Line Reconfiguration

    A rather simple alternative from B C and D trains to the Seaport. All Huntington cars go Prudential - Back Bay - Bay Village - Boylston . . . A new Green Line from Copley, under Dartmouth Steet to Back Bay. Thence to Bay Village, Marginal Street tunnel . . . No double transfers for...

    Silver Line to Chelsea

    Re: Silver Line to Chelsea (Study Meeting) Re Place Names: I get more annoyed about "fancy" names for new streets. There are a few of them in the Seaport District. "Marina Park Drive" sounds like some place in Palm Fucking Beach. Who was responsible for that disgrace?

    Federal Funds for South Station Expansion

    On Thursday, I am flying into the Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, or is it the Thurgood Marshall International Baltimore Washington Airport? Oh, screw it -- Friendship Airport!

    Downtown Crossing/Financial District | Discussion

    So it looks like that, with the relocation of city government, Government Center will become a misnomer. The T station is undergoing extensive rebuilding. This is an excellent opportunity to restore the Scollay Square name.

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    "Councillors" is a perfectly acceptable spelling. Webster's 9th collegiate lists it as first choice.
