BOston LOcal COmpany............that's what I was told a long time ago. I really like their wraps.

From the above photo, it looks like it will be nice infill for area.

I don't know if this was posted previously, but it's interesting:

This seems like a nice project. We used to live in Newtonville, and Newtonville has seen quite a few positive and increased density changes since we departed to Scituate 20 years ago. I always loved going to the West Newton Cinema and Sweet Tomatoes Pizza in West Newton. Is this Dunstan...

Quickly reviewing the over 900 page PDF document, it shows the previous design iteration. IMHO, both iterations are pretty bleak. I don't mind the Vertical Lift Bridge, but I wish it had a little more design reference back to the Bascule-style bridges. What I mean by this: Show the...

At EVERY chance they get, the MBTA should be looking at double-tracking the Old Colony main line since it now has Fall River, New Bedford, Kingston, Greenbush, Cape Flyer, and someday maybe Plymouth spur, all feeding into ONE track! I'm looking at you Quincy Center!

That looks really nice. I could easily see something like that in Scituate.

When I first visited Boston in 1986, I remember Kendall was a complete mess and under construction. I think they were lengthening the platform, and that's when they also installed the acoustic artwork. I remember single light bulbs hanging from the ceiling over the platform. It had a very...

Yeah, I hate to say it, but Scituate fits into this somewhat. Many of the zoned areas in North Scituate don't have access to sewer, so that pretty much eliminates the possibility of multi-family housing until North Scituate gets sewer. Plus, there is a serious water access issue, although...

I was in San Diego in October, and they had retractable bollards all along 5th Avenue for about 10 blocks or so. They disappeared and were indistinguishable to the street when retracted. I think they went up around noon every day to make the whole Gas Light District in San Diego a...

I know it's been discussed before, but I would love to see something replace that parking lot in the first photo. It's so surprising that amount of surface parking still exists in the central city.

The whole area needs a makeover or refresh. Hopefully, this is planned for after the tower opens.

Why? It looks better than those "luxury" apartments at Suffolk Downs in Revere in my humble opinion. https://www.liveamaya.com/

It will be interesting to see if that cool Garage Door in the first rendering makes it into the final project.

I wonder if they ever considered a tunnel along Washington Street, like was constructed in Cambridge at the time? The Cambridge tunnel started construction in 1909, so maybe a tunnel was never even considered for the Forest Hills transit. Hey, I found the 1892 Report of the Rapid Transit...
