not to advertise here, but im moving out of my apt mid june and am looking for someone to take over for the summer and a sept 1 lease. apt is in brookline (my opinion, best place to live in boston). private message me if you are interested.
because it is brookline, reaping the benefits of saying no to annexation 150 years ago.
trust me, it wasnt fast... must of taken about a year and a half to two years to finish the whole project from Cleveland cir to st marys. i live in washington sq, and work lasted for about 4-5 months for a...
in terms of renter's rights, age as defined by MGLc.151b, 4(7) is:
The word ?age? as used in this subsection shall not apply to persons who are minors nor to residency in state-aided or federally-aided housing developments for the elderly nor to residency in housing developments assisted under...
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...
they do have hand held readers on the green line. i have only seen it at coolidge corner during morning rush hour. mbta worker stands at the station and scans charlie cards as people are waiting. when the train arrives people who have already scan can enter at any door, people with tickets or...
Re: 45 Province St
hot damn! i was in downtown crossing a week ago and you couldn't see the structure from washington st. now about 4 floors are visible. what is the final floor count for this going to be?
why isn't the city of boston in on this one? last time i checked there was more then 30 acres of "empty" land sitting down on the waterfront. somewhere around d st and summer st look like a good location.
Re: Mandarin Oriental
i was walking by the madrian today and noticed that there is somesort of steel archway cemented into the sidewalk infront of the portion closest to the pru enterence. didnt have my camera so no pics, sorry
anyone know what this is? is it somesort of landscaping trellis...
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...
when you see them in person the reverse is true.
anything but a staples would have been better in the second bldg. there is one at fenway and one at harvard/comm ave, why one here?
unfortunately you cant see into the ballpark from those apartments. i used to live along park drive, and the best you can do is hear the announcers and see the jumbotron. we used to drag a tv and grill up there during home games, makes a much better atmosphere then a living room.
i think downtown crossing is a good place for a "destination" type supermarket. something along the lines of dean and deluca in nyc or gelson's in socal
another thing i had a problem with at the meeting.... why the issue over parking? correct me if i am wrong, but aren?t most streets in the back bay (north of boylston) residential or metered parking, thus preventing 9-5er's from parking there? And if these workers do decide to drive in and...
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...
BRA meeting
so i attended the BRA meeting tonight and just wanted to note a few things i noticed (not really related to the exeter/boylston topic, but about the meeting itself).
first off, an introduction. this is my first post, but i have been reading this forum for probably 6 or so years...
