    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    Another significant about-face on aB! Not complaining - I enjoy when hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing over developments turn out to be either misguided or at the very least overblown. Personally, I think the new building is fine, if a little ho-hum, and agree that if street-level is...

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    Agreed. The block that had been there was just fine and likely could have been converted — it was just a bunch of bow window-heavy brownstones. Gorgeous. Kenmore used to be cool. Now it’s nothing.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    It looked like a giant Cheesecake Factory. Tacky dogshit. Insisting on the re-do was one time the city did the right thing.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I like how the two towers in Boston that have the most drastic "I love it!"/"I hate it!" dichotomy between their "good" and bad" sides -- SST and 1 Financial -- are grouped so closely together, geographically.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Haven't all of those been there for... forever? I guess maybe I don't specifically recall a Nero, but Starbucks and Dunks have been there at least since 2020 (and given that it's Boston, I'd wager there's been a Dunks at SS since the '70s).

    Disagree -- being able to see the setbacks is really cool.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Seems like there are more than a few good pix of Raffles that have been posted here.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Anyone know anything about what term or terms apply to what they are doing with this type of bracing to support the upper arches/interior domes? I'd love to know more about what this support technique is all about.

    Mad respect to all you expressed. Totally true and I feel similar ways about of certian aspects of the Boston of my youth, as much as I love today's city. Your insights are always really well expressed and give me a real sense of stuff I'm more ignorant about than I like to think I am. I'm...

    Appreciate the context and insight. My only vague memories of it are from the tail end of its life and I saw nothing redeeming about the building -- not its details (I saw none), massing, shape, materials, or height. Time and place and state-of-repair can make a difference. I'm trying to see...

    No disrespect intended -- truly; this question is driven by sincere curiosity: Why, exactly?
