Why don't you know? One bar does not a nightlife make. One bar is character at best. Another location of theirs is a cop bar. Any number of restaurants within a short distance will sell you a beer after hours as well. Who wants to go down there at night? I dunno. I would be a liar if I said I...

The roadway is not wide enough for the trolley. The CNG busses will likely be claimed to mitigate the pollution on their own. As a resident of JP I would hope they do not return, merely for practical reasons. Centre St. is no wide enough for the traffic it handles now.

Re: T construction news There could well be a utility trench below the asphalt which was not allowed enough time to settled properly, before paving. If you've ever wondered a trench is paved temporarily after sewer work or the like, and left this is it. Don't want to go off topic with this...

I used to work on 42 there. You'd be amazed at the things that fly by the window at 400 feet. Do the doors still creak when it's windy? I had a job that required me to work on the Fourth. Looking down on the fireworks was fun. Not a fan of the way it slams into the street, or focuses wind...

I see talk of "real" cities. I see talk of a number of criteria that make a city. I question it. While we can say that Boston may be better off than it was in the 70's, on a number of levels, It has also lost a sense of self. There are any number of pros and cons in the last 30 odd years. For...

Not The best photo. But here's one through the alley of the facade at Russia Wharf.

Re: Columbus Center My understanding is that a rep did not want something in the area they represented and voted against Casino legislation and was rewarded.

Re: Columbus Center I would not be surprised, to see more work on this location, I am led to believe. Enough, to ensure the permitting process does not need to be gone through again. I have not read this whole thread. I will not lie. Perhaps somewhere it makes mention of the fact that the...

The 4,6,7,171,448, and 449 busses are non-Silverline busses servicing the Seaport. As for a walkway protected from the weather? I don't know. I hope not. Weather and light are a part of the equation in experiencing any part of the city. I can experience a hallway lots of places. The idea...

Re: Russia Wharf Regarding the name, the signage and hardhat stickers say Russia Wharf.
