    Brattleboro, VT -- Peak Green Edition

    I have an abiding love of the Latchis, Mocha Joe’s, and Brattleboro Books. The Dosa Kitchen food truck up at the Prouty Center is worth a try.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    Cubic sandbagged the contract. This is the second interim state, after the S&B upgrade for PCI compliance reasons. It’s at least salvaging something from the mess.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    1274 Massachusetts Avenue | Dorchester

    Nice infill. Not too flashy. Not too boring. The walk-up entries are nice, and very uncommon today.

    The 2024 Olympics at Boston. Globe retrospective of sites then and now.

    The 2024 Olympics at Boston. Globe retrospective of sites then and now.

    There is also an argument for a single global summer and winter venue: - Eliminate the repeated venue and infrastructure costs. - Maintain a consistent time zone offset for broadcast/streaming. - Make the venues available for training or rental during the off years.

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments
