Good luck with the big announcement!

From my understanding (admittedly, largely from this forum), Federated is, at this point, a shell company that just exists for the sake of these lawsuits.

I give the reporter credit; sorting all that mess out was a decent bit of journalism. The before-and-after sliders (I'm not sure if they are new or were created years ago, possibly by @cneal ) are a particularly nice touch.

I didn't even think to look when I was in there 2 weeks ago; what's in the space where the first floor Shipyard used to be? Also, did anyone here go to the public meeting on the 11th?

I wouldn't expect something radically different from the Home2 they built in SoPo where the tiki huts were... and if they're under the same ownership as Residence Inn I would expect they're going to try to maintain the on-site parking for both (there's only so much room in the Gateway Garage).

So, if they're eliminating Taxiways D and F, is the orange Phase 9 construction of a new cross-taxiway? So, they're building what you suggested!

Given that I basically crammed myself into our existing home office when Covid hit, I'd have a hard time justifying the "exclusive business use" stipulation, and not being in a customer-facing role I have zero work-related car time (other than the occasional commute into the office which isn't...

I haven't been following the Boston forum; please help me out with the "tallest to the roof" item relative to 200 Clarendon.

I never read the recent Comprehensive Plan update in detail, but in skimming through it it seemed that the downtown office space sector, or what I think of as the "people who wear ties and/or pencil skirts to work" segment, was almost completely ignored.

Congratulations!

10-16 minutes for passengers to and from north of Portland (i.e., Brunswick / Freeport / new West Falmouth stop), per the MaineDOT report. Probably save a couple of minutes between Portland and Saco due to not having to cover that extra mile to PTC at slow speed. Also, NNEPRA would no longer be...

I recall that the NNEPRA BoD authorized Patricia to send a letter formally protesting the change, but I don't know if Amtrak leadership was amenable to leaving the Amfleets here or were just going to say "tough noogies."

As it stands, right now Amtrak wants to replace the current cars on the Downeaster with Horizons, a car that has a bad rep in cold weather. That will probably be what we have until the Airo's show up.

Any rail you traveled on in Massachusetts belonged to the MBTA, so if the issues were there that's on them :) .
