So in context this is a really big move by the Red Sox to bring some major indoor entertainment to Fenway relative to what Boston's been able to accommodate before (excepting the Garden of course).

Bounced the tangent about Amazon's impact here.

Thanks for the effort nevertheless. The issue is that we don't really have an endemic Connecticut cohort of users to keep this forum active at daily levels. I suppose we could share in that Facebook page.

Nice to see some UMass pics! CommCol looks totally different from when I was there 2006-2010! Overall they had just finished North Apts when I started, and the rec center and ISB were done by my Sophomore year. There's been a lot of change!

DECK ITTTTT

I'll say yes. For underutilized we can consider expanding/making a new category next year. If people really want it included this year, we can talk about it.

The moment there's a proposal to get rid of it, we'll bump this thread over to "Developments"... not holding my breath tho.

I wonder how much of the slow-down can be attributed to post-grads not staying in town. When I entered the workforce in 2010 the housing stock was full of, and filling with, 22-25 year olds at pricey but not outrageous rents, especially when split. And I went to college in Amherst. More than...

Putting this here instead of in the BRT thread because... why not? https://whdh.com/news/mbta-officials-to-study-extending-silver-line-to-cambridge-everett-somerville/

It's worth breaking down the fault lines here. There should be an understanding that there always has been and always will be what is now called "cancel culture," the big debate now is really over *who* is empowered to regulate it in social spaces and what sorts of sentiments are no longer...

Moved the GLT stuff here.

Here's another update on the plan, this one from Bloomberg A Green Transformation for the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Avenue’

It's a community path like the Minuteman or the Somerville path. I doubt this one will be anywhere as busy as those. Mostly cyclists and runners more than casual short-walkers. There aren't many pit stops or turnouts on Hammond Pond between Beacon St and Chestnut Hill.

A reminder for 2021; because this thread tends to get very full of pictures and praise (deservedly so!) we have the Shout Out Thread for "aB Award Worthy" pics to help people remember their absolute favorite shots when awards roll around. It wasn't super popular last year, and that's fine, but...

Willing to be vetoed on this, but I'm going to treat the images posted this year in the Photo Shoutout Thread as nominees. That was the original purpose of the thread, although it never gained much steam.

This thread never ended up getting much use this year, but I'll remind the photo fans of aB that there's a photo award up for nominations here! Give our roving photographers some love!

This is reminder to everyone that the nominations period for the 2020 aB Awards is open through the end of the month! Still are several categories with no or very few nominations! Some of these are "worst" categories, so maybe it's a good thing that nominations are sparse! Check out the...

DCR has plans to calm another metro parkway, Hammond Pond in Newton. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2021/01/22/dcr-planning-another-parkway-road-diet-in-newton/

Moved the Pollack convo to the General MBTA thread

I get that it's fun to degrade urban developments by comparing them to suburban developments, but there's absolutely nothing in East Waltham that comes close to Cambridge Crossing.
