Yeah the gut reno down the street from my apartment is a very satured forest green. It's really peculiar, but at least it's not grey I guess?

Hey, like it or not, it's art, who are we to criticize it? I also think as far as the message goes, criticizing things for being grey is genuinely more likely to get ppl on your side than worrying about gentrifiers

The sign on the front wrapping around that dumb hexagon is amazing.

What I don't get is why she needs to be a Senator. Does she really need to become Elizabeth Warren? At least Warren appears to have values. She could be the mayor for 20 years, do whatever she wants, retire to a prestige sinecure job in the federal government or nonprofit sector and retire...

It just keeps getting uglier, pretty incredible. At least their president has a gold-plated toilet.

This is pretty squarely just legislating from the bench, right? This is really odd. I guess the justices are pretty committed libs.

I know we are train heads, but the T is a function of the state government, the state government wanted the world cup to happen, I think it is more of an embarassment if 20k scots are left trying to uber to the stadium all at once rather than commuters endure more of their regular indignity...

Rumor has it that the Mayor has requested a historic parking lot be constructed on the site - parking is to be free and for north end residents only

This former roundhouse for the railroad - currently salmon falls stoneware - is set to be redeveloped.
