Big win for the area. If only they could figure out something with the Aud.

I think we're finally hitting the point where renders can only do so much to sell you on a building. The primary render for this place is so deep in Uncanny Valley territory that it's impossible to make any judgements on how the building will actually interact with the streetscape, plus they put...

Almost completely unrecognizable if it wasn't for the Esplanade in the foreground! The big spire to the right must be the Church of the Covenant on Newbury and Berkley, then 31 St. James is visible behind it, with the Park Plaza overlapping to the right. The Ritz-Carlton would be the taller...

Christmas Tree Shops has evolved!

So long ago there's 2 dead car brands in the same shot!

Man I wish that would have existed when I was taking the CR into Boston. It would be closer to where I live in Grafton than Grafton Station itself. I'd want to see a bridge over to 122 to the south, however. The 20/122 interchange can be a bit of a nightmare.

Yeah, this is kind of where I stand. I respect the angst about the loss of the old buildings, but I really dig the aesthetics of this, it hits a nice late-80s/early-90s nostalgia sweet spot for me. I think people who don't know what used to be there will think it's fantastic.

9/28 H and Broadway Douglas St.

Today 9/28. The archways are looking magnificent.

Today 9/28. Experience Chinatown and South Boston Street Festivals.

So my gut feeling at looking at these, specifically the light rail, is that while it hits the main landmarks, it also misses vast areas where people actually live. I think a good (idealistic) compromise is 4 lines: Line 1 (Rt. 12 parallel) Mountain QCC Higgins Gold Star/Indian Lake...

What The Fluff Fest on Saturday. Wet but fun.

Nope, ignore my post - I was just going based on visuals and overall width, looks like they striped it different so I'm wrong. Not the first time and definitely won't be the last!

On the market in metro Houston for $6m, designed for and formerly owned by AJ Foyt: https://www.chron.com/homes/article/texas-mansion-racing-legend-aj-foyt-19777999.php

Now I want an urban BJ's! Maybe with a more limited selection than a full store, but I don't see too many negatives to having bulk quantities of "you need it anyway" stuff like toilet paper available to city residents where they don't need a car.

I was actually a bit sad when I visited because I know my late son would have loved watching the cars and trucks go under the building. I'm also a racing fan who likes just watching cars go, so I found it kind of zen.

One annoying thing about that bus lane was they kept the ability to turn left out of Pumphouse Rd. from the right lane, so I always forgot the bus lane was there and had to bail quickly. Making that right lane right turn only would have kept at least some cars out of it.

Well, holy cow: https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:5t34x7411

It's the same - 3 lanes in either direction. Looks a bit smaller without all the traffic you're used to seeing. https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJvppivTahhe8wzTA

Man, that dusk shot of the Back Bay and the Longfellow looks so empty. I was born in '85, so many of those photos have an Uncanny Valley vibe to me, it looks sort of like the Boston I grew up knowing, but not quite. That's especially true for those photos at the Tea Party with the Traveler's...
