    Bill Russell Bridge | North Washington St.

    This is already so great. Gonna be killer when it’s done. What an upgrade!

    Evolving use of Office and other Space

    Sounds like you have some ideas. Have you emailed Wu or attended any meetings or any outreach that might lead those ideas to be considered, if not enacted?

    Evolving use of Office and other Space

    The city can't *force* folks to either take part in the office-to-residential conversion program or propose new residential development. Nearly every residential proposal gets green-lit (unfortunately nearly all get VE'd to bland/ugliness, if there was any appealing aesthetic in the initial...

    Evolving use of Office and other Space

    Between the tax cuts for office to residential conversion and green-lighting even the least imaginative developments like the one spotlighted in this very thread isn’t the city doing precisely that?

    The Ipswich | 2 Charlesgate West | Fenway

    Of course not. It's way too interesting and exciting to be seriously proposed in Boston. Makes the fact that something like One Congress actually happened all that much more surprising (and wonderful).

    North End Cross Street Boutique Hotel | 42 Cross Street | North End

    Smith wrote a set of lyrics. He didn't write the song (the melody, music, structure). The song/melody is the same as "God Save the King." Ergo shmessy's allusions to Weird Al, who also wrote/writes sets of lyrics and pairs them to existing, well-known songs.

    What a shot. Hat's off, sir!

    SAV-MOR Site Lab Building | 15 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    Preach. What the city is (isn't) doing with Gilman is criminal. In fact, literally. If the state ever decided to actually enforce the MBTA Communities Act, Somerville would have to do something with that lot (something the surrounding community was promised would happen, post-GLX). Ballantyne...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Welp... having just been in said delightful urban maze last night and having taken the pic in question, while I understand what you're saying (typing), I didn't have the sensation you're describing at all. The North End is still just as labyrinthian and European as ever and having One Congress...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    "Landmark" means something other than what you think it means. Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Gateway Arch, Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House, La Sagrada Familia -- even the John Hancock, Pru, and Fanueil Hall -- are all landmarks. This... smokestack is absolutely not a "landmark." You...

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

    Things go and things come and, as the building directly to the right of this illustrates, sometimes what replaces "the old" is certainly not an upgrade. What's done is done. I guess at least it's not the WHOOP building?
