I miss the dive bars, especially, Dive Bar. Forget the dive that was right on Kelley Sq, went to it once or twice.

Beautiful

No pics, but the core is up on this. Will be nice to have this spot filled in with a building by springtime.

We dont have a powerful centralized government, that is a fundamental problem. In the two decades following WWII, there was a continued New Deal-type acceptance of the government being a significant force in planning the economy and the infrastructure. The specific infrastructure might have...

a awesome

I’m not a mathematician, but I think it’s probably pretty easy to build an equation that gives differing weights to preserving existing schedules vs coordinating multiple ones. With the number of bus lines, that should not be difficult to make certain slight adjustments to produce a slightly...

How difficult would it be to coordinate them? Seems like that should be pretty easy. Feed all the ideal schedules into an equation and produce a schedule that promises a FH-Ros frequency of x?

Yeah totally, I get that (and abandoned a brief attempt at mental gymnastics to visualize an alternative to this method to emphasize the Rozzie corridor)—but, there should be some way to do this (honestly, branding actually does work if done right, and if a few more improvements could be made to...

Great info as always. Thats also a great map, Ive seen a lot over the years but never this one. You should write up your memories of pre-renewal Boston, dude. Just short reminiscences. I bet you could even make it into a small book. Could just have a pedestrian tunnel linking Haymarket and...

why is haymarket the terminus, anyway? Is it because it allows more of the downtown population to walk to the origin station?

It’s weird that the T seems to always leave Roslindale off its maps. There’s a nice spider map in this slide deck of frequent bus service but it doesn’t have Roslindale marked… despite it being one of the most well-served stations for bus.

All part of the city beautiful movement and parks & parkways stuff about 100 years ago. I bet they wanted to keep going north but the Bishopsgate/Grant neighborhood had already been built, so the parkway stopped. It's a shame, really, since low speed parkways would have been an efficient way...

Damn, you remember that?

I left the group on Facebook but wasn't data on that?

I appreciated his tangents for the most part I must say. He had a wide array of knowledge and I enjoyed the shares of it. Never found him all that annoying, only occasionally over the top. Others have different opinions. Re Holyoke, I lament the fact that a building widely known as such is...

Great site, didn’t know it existed. Still, really I want to know what the travel and commute patterns are, and # of cars on the road can only tell so much. Surely people are actively researching this somewhere…

I was prompted to post this after reading mentions of increased traffic beyond pre Covid levels in this transit matters report: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/533b9a24e4b01d79d0ae4376/t/65a7fc33ebe06c4c7f4f3f1a/1705507893524/TransitMatters-Modernizing+the+Framingham+Worcester+Line.pdf...

That’s a nice sound, almost captures the old Floyd, smooth and melancholy, maybe not quite as hopeless as it would have been with RW involved haha. Loving this right now:

Man, the second to last post is by whighlander. What happened to him?

That's great. Brattleboro is a cool town. Good to see this.
