On a related note, I was at an event at Big Night Live recently. Dumb name but a nice place. They have a few good pinball machines too!

Is this the part of North Station you're talking about?

That looks interesting.

That last part is what I've been waiting for.

Respectfully (really, I'm not arguing. I'm discussing) it has a ceiling and walls to provide protection from the elements (see your most recent photo above). I'm fine with the open ends; I just think it's short sighted of the architect or decision makers to leave that one gap open in the area...

Please give me the pros of keeping it open. (And if you feel like it, the cons.) Keep in mind that there are openings for air flow and ventilation on both sides of the outdoor concourse.

Wow, they're really going to leave that gap open, aren't they?

They really need to take down all that cra- hanging inside the concourse. It looks messy, it makes the space seem much smaller, it blocks light, and now it blocks the view of the domes they spent so much money building. There are plenty of other ways they can sell ad space without junking it up...

^^ That would definitely not be an improvement on what we got.

You like boring architecture?

There's actually quite a bit of shopping, as well as an elementary school and two middle schools, within easy walking distance (in strip malls, yeah, but they're right there). Plus there's a beautiful park right across the street. The orange line is not too far away. There's no bus stop right...

Tear down the wall. Here it is. https://archive.ph/hbvS1

That's true. With that in mind... South Station has "restaurants" off to the side of the concourse, but it also has food kiosks in the middle which mess up the flow and openness. If they would concentrate the food options to the sides and leave the majority of the middle open for waiting...

Grand Central Terminal has great sit-down restaurant options. And not a lot of loitering.

I was being generous because I didn't want people to attack me for giving it a 5 or 6.
