    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    A round trip ticket on a BA A380 to Heathrow will cost you roughly somewhere between $500 and $5000. A round trip ticket to Alewife will cost you $4.50. Comparing airlines investments versus MBTA investments makes no sense. They are completely different markets providing completely...

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    I know the last car is the quiet car, but I missed the one that had lie down suites and 30 channels of entertainment.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Forget the skyline. This thing looks like five separate buildings from Causeway. Hate it if you must, but to me it, from the street, it adds variety and depth. Call it Disney, but the two wings of the hotel seem like different buildings from street level it’s very interesting to look at...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    ^ That McDonalds was closed a couple of years ago, which was a good/bad situation for me. There’s been nothing there since. Also, heard they’re using the new high speed escalators for the T tunnel access, twice the speed and half as much space required.

    Education First (Phase III) | 10 North Point Blvd | Cambridge

    It’s a dorm, with a gym and some office space. I struggle understanding the residential programming given the facade.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Completely uneducated comment here. I like the last hybrid proposal the best because it impacts the river the least and has more greenspace. Who cares if it’s ugly from the BU side. That said, why not a wall and landscaped berm on the path side close to the river? Further isolates vehicles...

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport ^This Anecdotally (FWIW), I am friendly with two couples who are now in Beacon Hill, two in the Back Back Bay, three in the Seaport, and three more singles relatively recently divorced that are also in the Seaport. Going In-Town is the new over 55...

    Condo Development | 33-61 Temple Street | Beacon Hill

    Replying to an old post, but I just found this thread. They’ve gutted the interiors of both buildings to the structure, and also removed the exterior envelope of the newer/uglier one altogether. I tried to get a closer look inside the older one on the corner of Derne, and it looks like they’re...

    Harbor Garage Redevelopment Pontificating | Waterfront

    FWIW, there’s nothing under, or in proximity underground to that parcel which would prevent development of more height on top of the existing structure, or a tower like what is being discussed. Most of those problems were solved close to the Greenway as part of the Big Dig.

    Harbor Garage Redevelopment Pontificating | Waterfront

    It's not accurate. The tunnel walls were originally the support for the elevated roadway during construction. They installed a wider set of columns on top of them with beams in between. The walls align pretty much with outside lanes of Atlantic Avenue in that area.

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    And kids means anyone living in the same residence between the ages of 0 and 22 (or 30 now, I guess). No one living outside of Boston, under the same roof, and traveling together are going to take public transportation. The best you're going to get is a single Uber ride.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Compare your ride to an Uber price. Zone 1 (me) is cheaper than Uber, driving and parking and having a subway only pass, and driving in the city and parking. I thought this was a board about making transportation progress, and not complaints about how one person might find one mode cheaper on...
