Wait, BIDMC has secure lockups for visitors? I bike to Shapiro Clinical and always lock up on the Longwood Ave plaza (outside the window of a ground floor office it seems "looked after") Is There a place where patients/visitors can have access to an actual cage? (the ones in the garage off...

Every once in a while, I enjoy testing old proposals to see if they're still reasonable. Here's my list of capital-intensive yet not crazy pitches: (so they're on the "if Biden & Healy work together on infrastructure" kinda list) Blue: Red-Blue Connector Infill Red: Morrissey Boulevard...

Ok, even if they've finished BNRD, whose job is it to move bus stops to actually Coincide with GLX station locations? Specifically stations that will keep a bus even after today's 80 is abolished, like: Medford/Tufts (at station curb and across the street) (New 80 Davis - Burlington) Ball Sq...

Moderator ponders aloud: should these old, useful, less-active threads be merged into this one: Landmarking Brutalism https://archboston.com/community/threads/landmarking-brutalism.3547/ A Brief, Wondrous History of Brutalism (FTAO: Beton Brut)...

Here's a helpful video which sidesteps the question of whether everything from the 60s/70s that is made with bare concrete is "brutalism"

THink they'd go for Suffolk Downs?

Certainly compared to what had been. I saw it live from the same angle depicted in @DZH22's Jan 15 photo, and felt the same way

I can also see where staff accustomed to Copenhagen would find Boston "like-enough" in size (both city and as provincial capital and transit/walkable, and even the role of its airport), even down to "toward the water" is East, and that there's an actual harbor there. I visited CPH in December...

Nice! Then I’m ready for 7 weekly r/t (this is alternating days currently?)

Ready for a BOS-CPH nonstop too.

I have found the Silverline well patronized between SS and Courthouse (commuting this week) but what’s the deal with the stalled rehab of Courthouse station?

I have Jury Duty, 8am Monday at the Moakley Courthouse in the seaport. Anyone know how good/safe their bike facilities are?
