    The New Retail Thread

    Yikes. I fully expected Doyle's to outlive me, and I'm under 30. Pour one out.

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    It does! I can see it peeking out above 501 Boylston/the New England Mutual Life Insurance Building from Huntington at the Christian Science Center.

    XenForo Update

    As an aside: it looks like clicking the topic title automatically takes you to the most recent post. Now that that's clear to me, I feel generally good about the update. The mobile experience is worlds better. Thanks data/Edward for your work on this.

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

    Glass is being added to the “bustle.” Boy does this thing loom.

    XenForo Update

    That's what I've been doing in the meantime, but I feel like I'm missing posts. The "Jump to New" button has been somewhat inconsistent for me and I just want to make sure I'm caught up.

    XenForo Update

    Each topic on the subforum pages used to have a button that would take me to the last unread post, which I used frequently. I'm not sure if I'm just missing it here, but if that feature is currently absent and could be added back in, it would be a big help. Thanks!

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    Not DZ, but I'm pretty sure this is from the roof of the library at Tufts.

    Design a Better Lot

    First thing that came to mind when I saw this thread. There was a zoning study done on the South Huntington Avenue corridor a few years ago that identified this site as a major placemaking opportunity but I don't know what results (if any) came of it.

    Emerson College - Little Building Addition + Renovation | 80 Boylston St | Downtown

    I've lived in Boston for 8 years and I don't think I can remember a time when it wasn't there. I'm excited to take in the entire building for the first time.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    I'm all for highest and best use, but this doesn't sit well with me at all. Closing the Burren (along with Machine in Fenway, another Scape project) would be a deep, deep loss to the area's music and nightlife scene.

    Rio Grande (née Dudley Square Residential Tower) | Washington St. | Roxbury

    46 affordable units out of 241. http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/09d3d530-d393-4f4a-96d7-dbc69b81623c This project's been spearheaded by a developer who has long worked in and around Dudley (Ken Guscott, and more recently his daughter, Lisa, after he passed) and includes the...

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    The trellises were meant to have vines, but because they're made from black metal, they become too hot during the day for vines to grow on them.

    MIT East Campus - Kendall Square Gateway | Cambridge

    Honestly, it's fine until the final three color changes. I can't help but feel they skipped a few shades. It's very jarring.

    A navigable Muddy River

    You've hit the nail on the head. The Muddy River Restoration project is just that: a river and shoreline restoration. The areas of the park outside of the immediate shoreline will have to be worked on by separate projects.

    A navigable Muddy River

    Happy to help, FK4. The next phase of the project is going to be extensive, and disruptive to the parks for a few years. Heavy equipment in and around the Muddy, dump trucks moving in and out throughout the northern stretches of the Emerald Necklace, including the Victory Gardens, Riverway...

    A navigable Muddy River

    I work closely with the Muddy. The daylighting of the Muddy in front of the Landmark Center was the first phase of a wider, multi-phase environmental restoration project for the Muddy River. This wider restoration project is a joint effort between Boston, Brookline, the state, and the Army Corps...

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

    !!! Thanks, Beeline, the weekend got away from me and I didn't get around to posting. Weirdly enough, I feel the overhang's less jarring from directly underneath than, say, viewing it from in front of the residential tower.

    The better move would've been to wrap the garage with residential when it was built...

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

    It does overhang, which I'm kind of floored by, honestly. Hold on- I grabbed a photo a week or two ago; I'll post it once I pull it off of my camera.
