I think this might qualify as Herzog adjacent in that we're talking about baseball

Until the garage comes down that tower is going to look like a debutante in barn boots. I mean she's cute... and has rich parents... but what's going on down there?

We can only hope that this has has many people using it as Assembly Square does. There are some lessons to be gleaned from that comparison though. I see parallels in how car-centric ASQ is by design since it’s unconnected to anything else but the OL and a couple sporadic bus routes. Despite the...

How many cigarettes does a 1BR go for there? Tell me and I’ll put some money in your commissary account. Okay, fine… a few ramen flavor packs too.

...And not all brutalism is worth saving. Massive amounts of people objected to the destruction of the West End. Those thousands of people were generally poor, and therefore, ignored. This was built when a handful of grand egos met a fat developer bankroll and ill-applied state funds. The main...

I think I get it. This means we all have to pay for the cavity-searching, fourth amendment violation we didn't solicit or give cause for... in the name of security theater. Specialty retail. Solid euphemism. Will use. /snark. I've been inside to see the active part of Terminal E. It's already...

This looks like a byproduct of the stupid Pioneer Institute flavored SSX-NSX instead of NSRL chicanery. I will not miss Governor Milquetoast and his flowing red pen.

This already needs a road diet. This ain't Las Vegas. We don't need 40-mule-team turnarounds. As someone said above -- this is a CITY! And as F-Line said above Babcock needs to go all the way through. MASS Dot should build as though that could eventually happen whether BU wills it or not. If we...

If there is someone on the platform drivers will stop. I think it's okay that they skip if nobody is getting off. Shorter dwell times, faster trips FTW.

Winisimmit's just south of the Tobin, in Blobeto. Oh, you aren't aware of the hippest new urban enclave -- BLOck BElow the TObin. And I'll stop mocking realtor-speak when I'm damn good and ready!

…and The Garvey is in Traberebep

If anyone thinks that this area can't be something nice because of the oil tank view, please look at what Los Angeles did. This is Venice Beach in 1952: From Malibu on down... It's now some of the priciest residential real estate on the planet

The Vero and some of those hep apartments on Vale Street are in Chelsea according to Google Maps. Looks like the Chelsea/Everett line was formed when this area was still populated with ducks, clams and striped bass. Really thinking this area needs a new name. Cheverette? Eversea? Elsie...

Charlie Chieppo can suck his own tailpipe. I don't want to build roads near his house because they might partially get him to and from his job. I don't want to help fund fire departments in his town because they may save him from burning up. I don't want to hire state police in his district...

Oh, I remember. Yes. They are not going fast enough. In earnest? That's hair splitting. If we want to get picky - and we should since the GCG is/was one single building - this demo started years before that. Please note that 100 Sudbury AND the State Street tower sit on half of the former...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I guess you don't have to hear people constantly bitch about the Congress Street detours, the longer walk to North Station, the constant horn-honking, or you basically don't have to look at it. While I am one to appreciate hyperbole, that's like comparing a gangrenous festering missing limb...

The only people who need to adjust their xanax levels are the resource managers at HYM (less). This demo was started in 2019. Entering year 4. I'm saying it's dragging out much longer than it needs to. Add more bodies from worksites that aren't shutting down a major boulevard in the heart of...

Y'see.... it looks like this part of my city has been bombed, If HYM isn't going to take this crap pile down with any purpose or priority, they might as well spin its' continued omnipresence into something else. So.... art exhibit? How about a big banner that says "WHOOPSIEDOODLE!" Or a...

Seems like a lot of 'extra' structure
