    Westborough developments

    That's going to take out the HomeGoods and Staples in that plaza. That Staples can be convenient but both chains have other outlets just a few miles further west on 9.

    Ideas for a new arena for the Boston women's hockey team?

    The team averaged ~3,750 per game during the regular season, and a little over 4,500 for the playoffs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%E2%80%9324_PWHL_season#Attendance). More than respectable for a new league! So you'd be looking at something like a 5-6,000 seat place as a sustainable venue...

    An Ode to Trophy Row

    My gut feeling is some random local thought they were doing a favor by "cleaning up" the bridge, without realizing that so many people cared about it. Like the story of the 81 year old who attempted a "repair" of a fresco of Jesus without recognizing the damage she was doing. Whoever did do it...

    Is that cobblestone-ish thing meant to be a walkable path?

    In general, but the 4th gen Trans-Ams look overstyled compared to the simpler Camaros to me. I'm also biased in that one of my favorite all-time race cars (and this is a Ford guy speaking) is the Jack Baldwin Hot Wheels Camaro.

    The F-body Camaros have aged way better than the Firebirds, IMO.

    That was a big hit that happened right in front of me. Typical LMP2 missed braking point taking out a GT car:

    South Boston Infill and Small Developments

    BeeLine, thank you for your continued work in documenting this stuff. I don't get back to Southie nearly as often as I'd like, so it's nice to be able to keep up on the changes. It's amazing how much the project at H and E Broadway is changing the view there. A major hole filled.

    Video of the Day, Boston Style

    The Celtics have an impressive history website that includes some old videos of both the Garden and North Station. https://bostoncelticshistory.com/item/watch-inside-the-old-garden/?postId=1231 https://bostoncelticshistory.com/item/watch-take-a-ride-to-the-garden/?postId=1231

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    The arena sections look interesting. Almost like a miniature version of the old Garden with the balconies along the sides. Also reminiscent of other college rinks like Vermont's, or Canadian Major Junior rinks like Peterborough's, where the majority of the seats are in the large end sections...

    The direction they're walking would lead them to the Franciscans' St. Anthony's Shrine on Arch St.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    If they're trying to stuff all of that into the block that Matthews currently sits on, I have to assume they're going to downsize capacity of the rink to make it fit. Does Northeastern ever draw the close to 5,000 the current rink holds?

    That looks like they should be able to update it while keeping the exterior as it is. But that's definitely dank, in the original sense of the word.

    I've been going to Lime Rock's Historic and SVRA weekends for a few years now, hoping to see one of these, and one finally showed up: a real, no-joke mid-1990s SCCA Trans-Am monster. Sounds like hell unleashed and goes just about as quick, too... The exhaust routing is a work of art. One of...

    kz's Wanderings Around Greater Boston

    *image searches* Yeah, some of those apartments aren't as bad on the inside as what I was fearing. Largely depends on if they were updated or not, I guess. Now I'm morbidly curious to see the breezeway though.
