    I wish I could like this comment 1000% I totally agree.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    As others have stated, I've been super impressed with High Street Place programming. They have DJ nights and this coming Sunday, A Queer Food Fest! It always seems to be full of people well past the 5pm working hours. I would give Millenium a bit more of a break if they had some robust...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    It's so interesting how they are building the concourse arches. Some are structurally "real", and some are fake. I would have never guessed this.

    Dick’s House of Sports | Prudential Center | Back Bay

    Interiors look really nice. I wonder how much was recycled from Lord & Taylor? I was only in Lord & Taylor a few times, but I don't remember those high clerestory windows. Plus, the exposed steel beams with fireproofing look new here.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I never knew the name of the alley/street either until I went to Google: The street is Milton Place, but I'm not sure the plaza has an official name.

    Speaking of the fountain, does anyone know if the fountain on Milton Place is working, or will be working this summer? It was shut off last summer, and I don't know if it was because of construction at Winthrop or just totally unrelated. Now, this building is landmarked too! :)

    General Boston Discussion

    Fantastic summary. Plus, we have beautiful mountains and forests to our north and west, plus fantastic beaches and islands for the entire coast. You can take a train from Boston to go skiing in the winter (Wachusett) and take the boat for summer beaches and nightlife. (Provincetown) We...

    General Boston Discussion

    I had the good fortune to grow up in a small Nebraska farm town. (I always say it was like Mayberry R.F.D on the Andy Griffith Show.) My family is still located in Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma..............3 very conservative states. I follow the politics and conversations in those 3...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    I love all the improvements to Back Bay station and the street activation, yet I agree that this design is pretty terrible. Is that blank wall just above the first floor supposed to be parking? It looks like about 4 floors of nothing. I realize the existing garage is terrible, and this will...

    Wow, that is awesome...........and also SAD at the same time. I love how you can click on the stations for a photo and information. Thanks for posting.

    Did they punt on that outside column? It was wrapped and then removed, and now this seems like a tepid design response. Do you think it's final?

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I know it's preliminary, but you would think a little creative design would go a LONG way for people to get excited about this and onboard with the concept.

    MBTA Construction Projects

    MBTA Red Line headhouse construction as viewed from the Urban Park on the Garage Roof. It was a beautiful day on Easter Sunday.

    Lab Building (née Hotel Hampshire) | 34-40 Hampshire St. | Cambridge

    The street experience on this one is amazing! It should win an award. I mean, look at how much that guy in shorts is enjoying the architecture and street level activity! It's such a level above that European street CRAP in Barcelona or Paris. I want to hang out here all day and enjoy the...
