Tension Member -- some good points However -- the North End is no-longer an Italian Enclave -- it's a mixed-Yuppy enclave with some residents remaining from of the pre-demolition of the Green Monster Once the Big Dig was over -- lots of people in Finance, Legal, some business consultants and...

Jklo -- do a bit more homework or take a drive on Rt-128 between about I-90 and I-93 There have been life science buildings in Lexington and Waltham for well over a decade I'm just surprised that it took the developer this long to decide to join the "party like its 1929" with respect to building...

BostonObserver -- as stated in their filing and the BPDA actions the motivation is to move the building to the east a bit to best accommodate the change in the traffic pattern for Kenmore Square with the Related Beal NPC [lab for office space] for the buildings under the Citgo sign -- Kenmore...

Jahvon -- yes those were some of the fasted elevators in the entire world when they were installed I presume the elevators are still there but -- like the Pru itself time has passed them by for nostalgias sake -- here's a relatively recent ride

I apologize if this is taken as a diversion -- its just a bit of clarification of the RFID technology -- having spent quite a bit of time in the past few years mucking with such at various levels from Patent Filings to actually testing tags and readers in real-world situations -- including...

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with minor amendments and re-enablement's and then came a major reworking: The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 [ADAAA] under which all Federal programs are now required to operate As long as everyone is treated the same in shelter or lack there-of there no...

One size doesn't fit all in this matter -- its highly circumstantially determined Specifically -- outside of how big is the budget -- how many people are typically waiting and for how long If it is a few people typically boarding at the stop and it is severed by typical Heavy Rail or...

I vote for "Stack of Books" Station -- in the London way

Looking at some recent stuff on Stuart Street -- triggers the question Anyone know anything going with the Motor Mart Garage project?

agree completely -- except I would suggest that the Attucks memorial be a part of the project either there or perhaps in place of the removed Lincoln statue

Stillin... -- Interesting perspective on some aspects of things in Boston -- a place with a very complex relationship between the old and the new You made one point in particular -- while not relevant to the discussion in one manner -- in the modern context it is very relevant you said "...

Well for a few reasons A -- Attucks name is variously recorded in various documents B-- Nubian Sq is a name given to a historic square by people currently living in it -- no guarantee that one hundred years from now that Nubian will mean anything to the people residing in the area The original...

Thanks Bren Next time the weather is a bit more cleamant and I've a few hours -- I'll take a walkaround from South Station to North Station via Winthrop and State Street to catch-up on the last few months of construction which I've enjoyed vicariously through the intrepid and dedicated...

Cambridge thinks it is too dense -- and one way to measure / control density is to tell the developer how much floor area can be put on a given plot of land: the developer either covers a lot of the plot with a low building with a large footprint -- appropriate for some lab type projects --...

No -- I don't think the affordable part is connected with the Y property at all first that building because of it being yWCA as opposed to YMCA -- is likely to be encumbered by a lot of preservation stuff -- so that you can't touch its outsides But most relevant to the discussion about the...

Could also be that the developer and perhaps State Street want the drone pix as a part of PR for the project -- these folks have both deep pockets and deep connections and can probably get what they want from the FAA in the matter of drone flights

Stefal Its all about Diversity From each Entre to Boston by road, water or air -- we present a different style and mixture of icons: From the south there will be South Station and Winthrop and back a bit Millennium From the Pike there will be a stepping upward from the Sneaker factory to Car...

Whoever is responsible for the drone pix -- should be given a big ABforum award and recruited to contribute regularly

First step should be the remediation of the ignorant name Nubian Sq. [having nothing at all to do with anything Boston] to something Boston-centric like Attucks's Square -- and then there should be an international competition for an appropriate memorial to Christopher Attucks, a true Martyr /...

DHZ -- once again anything approaching let alone exceeding the top of the Weather Beacon Hancock would stick out from KSq in the most dramatic fashion As to Eastgate you are probably right about its stated height by Emporis being the antenna height -- but the building itself is still the...
