    Emerson College's Paramount Center

    Re: BRA approves Emerson College's Paramount Center as an emerson alumnus, i can tell you... housing is not the main concern for emerson, it is classroom/space. what emerson (and suffolk to a lesser extent) has done is a great example of how college and community can work together. the...

    The need for Class A offices and condos

    it should and has (back in the early 20th century). i recommend a book called Streetcar Suburbs: The process of Growth in Boston by Sam Warner, Jr. It pretty much details the residential growth of boston from a socio-economical framework in the 1870's-early 1900's. i imagine it isn't happening...

    Avalon Exeter | 77 Exeter Street | Back Bay

    i wouldn't go as far as calling it elitism. maybe provincialism? but every city has an certain stench in the air if you know what i mean. i am aware that these types of meeting exist in nyc and los angeles, but my point was that they are nothing to this extreme. a next door neighbor is not...
