    Intercollegiate Museum of Arts and Sciences - City Hall

    A lot of local collages *cough* BAC *cough* are a bit starved for basic classroom space. Pushing more classroom space, and the council chambers, etc used as a lecture halls, in addition to the grand spaces being used for exhibitions would be a plus. This would also generate revenue, which is...

    The Roosevelt Island Tram cost $5m to build in 1976. Adjusted for inflation that's roughly $20m today. Some quick specs from wiredNY: Capacity of gondola: 125 persons Number of trips per day – weekday: 120 Number of trips per day – weekend: 100 Cost per ride: $2.00 Cost of construction, 1976...

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    Boston Common. Singular. Same with the Public Garden. Not as sure, but I'm pretty sure it's also Carson Beach, although a possessive s would at least make sense there. Sorry, but "Boston Commons" bugs bugs the hell out of me.

    The precast sucks, but I'm hopefully optimistic about the glass.

    A tram could also be integrated into Assembly station, wheras a footbridge would be really out of the way. Construction costs might even be the same, although obviously maintaince and ops costs long term would be higher. I agree about Wynn likely bring more supportive of a tram. Not only is it...

    "Midtown"/Widett Circle in a non-Olympics Boston

    I've got way too much going on to hash out a real proposal. But in short: Move the existing businesses and tow yard to another site, likely tow yard to the seaport and food stuff out by the produce terminal. Create a massive new rail yard below grade inside widett with provisions to be decked...

    Allston-Brighton Infill and Small Developments

    ^ Considering that used to be my hood I have to disagree. It's a 20 minute walk to both Harvard Square and Allston. The 86, 70, and 70a all run down Western Ave and connect to the red line, all together it's a pretty decent frequency of service. The site is also an 8 or so minute walk to the 66...

    Possible free U2 set tonight

    Can Mary Ann's even accommodate a band? I feel like Davis is a safe bet; they have some history there.

    Possible free U2 set tonight

    If its a small thing I don't want to be the one to turn it into a shit show, and the mainstream media watches uhub. I doubt they pay attention here. Speculation I've heard so far: Joshua Tree in Davis (don't know the reason why) A roof in Kenmore where they filmed a video

    Possible free U2 set tonight

    I know this is in the wrong forum, and I'm usually a nazi about stuff like that, but this is where everyone looks. Hopefully the mods and fellow forumers will forgive this intrusion for the next 12 hours. I've heard a rumor from 2 separate unrelated people that U2 is going to be doing a secret...

    I'm officially working, so I'll be the guy in a black shirt (as opposed to a vest) behind the bar. Matthew, Data and Equilibria (if he's coming out) know what I look like, anyway. It's also the Billie Holiday tribute night starting at 9, so the music should be really good for those who stick...
