Yeah, I don't think a top tier architect would have been useful at all in this project, because the only way to do anything beyond lipstick on the pig would require a complete teardown and rebuild.

I'm also Gen Z, I was born in March 2001. I was a sophomore in High School when I first started looking at ArchBoston in early 2017... It's crazy how long ago 2017 feels already.

Hence, why many of us show join dates on or about May 25th, 2006. One more year and the site can buy us all a drink!

I distinctly remember that episode. They thought they booked R.E.M. as an act for Jessie's club, but it turned out they booked an old ladies' folk band by the same name; the folk band took the disappointment in good spirits and played some rock music instead. (Or something like that).
