Re: South Boston Seaport On a related note, has anyone been to LTK and what did you think?

I'm pretty sure that online petitions don't hold any actual value. If you really want to show your disapproval, get a real pen and paper petition going.

Much cheaper parking? On a Sunday, I could believe that. Meters aren't free from 8am - 8pm on Saturdays in the Post Office square area. So spending say ... an 8 hour shift on a Saturday is still going to cost you $8 where as parking at Oak Grove is $3.50 for 24 hours. But if you factor in the...

I think small memorial displays are fine. When they get to be large an ostentatious do they become an nuisance. Small engraved stones are fine. So long as I don't one day see a huge onyx obelisk with the names of all the victims of the great molasses flood of 1919, I'll be happy.

I would imagine they wouldn't hold up under scientific or statistical scrutiny. They do however give an all right 25,000 ft view of the situation. What the city needs is some younger political talent at city hall. All these old geezers just don't seem to be in touch with today's Boston. And we...

There were fireworks tonight over Boston Harbor/Fort Point channel which could be seen from the Seaport Blvd bridge. Anyone know what that was all about?

He does have a filter, it's just in the form of an audio filter and not a content filter.

It was a bit of both. It had the feeling of infill. Like they had this existing concrete superstructure that they just put some glass in and "made" somewhat usable space. Brutalist, a friend I am not.

It's incredible, but I wouldn't say it is particularly surprising. The writing has been on the wall since Countrywide (the largest provider of home loans in the country) was being bailed out by the likes of BoA.

I went inside City Hall for the first time today. All I can really say is "oh my!" I couldn't really tell if I had actually gone "indoors". It seemed a lot like a train station concourse with all the windows and what not. That might just be the particular part that I was in since I just had to...

I don't think the WEIU building is particularly special either. The lower facade has been changed a lot by the stores that have occupied it, and the second floor windows have no character. The only thing that defines the building is the fact that it says WEIU on it. At least that what it looks...

What are you stating "no it wasn't" to? If it's about my "The post that this was a response to was deleted" statement, then there was a post between my double post asking what it was I meant by Northeastern annexing Roxbury. Now if you mean about Allston/Brighton, then that is what it seemed...

Simply because people who have a complaint are more likely to complain to the T Riders Union. If people are satisfied with their service, they generally aren't going to go around telling people about it. Someone needs to teach this guy about self-selection bias.

It was a semi-satirical comment on Northeastern's expansion on the Roxbury side of the Orange Line and if they keep going as they are, it'll eventually be: Roxbury -- A Neighborhood of Northeastern University. Like how Brighton-Allston are sort of like suburbs of BU. The post that this was a...

Anyone going to go see Gone Baby Gone?
