    haha no worries. I don't know if you have an xbox or not, but a couple of years ago they remastered perfect dark for the xbox, and it was GREAT. my xbox crapped out on me a few years ago, but i kind of want a new one mostly to play perfect dark...

    Cambria Hotel | 6 West Broadway | South Boston

    There is an old portal next to the red line yard on Foundry St that was for the street cars. Two or three years ago they converted it into their emergency training facility, with a Blue Line car (i think) inside it. I think the tunnel to Broadway and a little beyond is still largely extant...

    The New Retail Thread

    The Pru Tree House pop up is a disaster. I tried to go a couple weeks ago, and I would have been able to drive to the brewery, picked up a four pack, and drank one at home on my couch before I got a beer at the pop up. The line just to get in was ridiculous and then there was an even longer...

    dD, I've been reading this board nearly daily for a real long time now, and I JUST put together that your handle is a perfect dark reference. What an amazing game.

    Harvard Square Infill and Small Developments

    Punter's absolutely was great. Once the pizza hole closed, I knew they weren't long for the world. I graduated from NU a few years ago. It absolutely was NOT considered far worse than Conor's. Groups either naturally went to the dive-ier Punter's or the more bro-ey Conor's. Maybe while you were...

    Harvard SEC (Science & Engineering Complex) | Western Ave | Allston

    Is the curve in Western Ave going to be permanent, or will the road be straightened once they don't need the staging area anymore? I bike down Western from Central semi-frequently and it's so much nicer with that curve than it was as a straight-as-an-arrow raceway.

    Biking in Boston

    I rode down Boylston this morning between Mass Ave and Ring after it was set up for the parade, and boy was it nice being on a two lane road rather than the four+ clusterfutz it is usually. When is the city actually going to do something about Boylston?

    General Infrastructure

    it's really nice they started painting parking spaces green so drivers know exactly where to leave their cars.

    Longfellow Bridge update

    In my opinion, it's a tragedy that an appropriate bike lane wasn't included in the original plans.

    Biking in Boston

    That's awesome, and way better than Cambridge's IF it actually keeps a running tally. I ride by this corner every day to and from work and can't wait to add to the count.

    Biking in Boston

    The picture you posted is down, but I hope they got a counter with the right scale. The one on Broadway in Cambridge is so frustrating. It looks like few bikes go by a day, but the scale is really for monthly? ridership!

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    Did they totally mess up the alignment on the fence and steps or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

    Pierce Boston (née The Point )| Boylston St/Brookline Av | Fenway

    Not only that, it's not the curve in Boylston that cuts the Fenway from the Back Bay, it's the terrible charlesgate overpass.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District The worst case scenario for the Common shows Net-New shadow for 1 hour, from ~7:30AM to 8:30AM and for the Garden it's even less net-new shadow from like 7:10AM to 7:30AM. THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH SHADOW /s

    Boston Properties Office Tower | 888 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    It potentially may end up in Smith Playground in Allston. I'm invested in getting a new/second roller hockey court there during the upcoming redevelopment and the statue came up during on the of the community meetings. I believe it's been donated to Boston for public art, and if the LA/Brighton...

    Jamaica Plain Centre/South streets redesign

    Removing cars from Centre Street sounds like a great idea, but in practice probably would not be. Here's an article from the Boston Globe about DX and how removing car traffic may not have been the best idea Would car traffic bring back the crowds?
