    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    So, honest question: We hear TONS about 'affordable housing.' Yet every time a large piece of developable land comes up within Boston and the immediately surrounding cities, the project almost immediately flips to lab space. Or in this case - much less needed than lab space - a soccer...

    Newton Infill and Small Developments

    Why should that be the 'first option'? Why should a private landholder be obligated to give right of first refusal to a municipal government?

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Is the bus station going to be, in the new building, essentially where it is today?

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    Oh wow - what a shame that it's no more. Any idea why the Hyatt didn't replace The Spinnaker with another restaurant? What's there now? (Does the room still rotate?!)

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    Haven't seen in person, but based on the photos this has got to be some of the best 'post-WWII' brick I've ever seen. It's all new, right?

    1600, 1800, 1850 Soldiers Field Road | Brighton

    RIP, IHOP! That was the place to go late at night in high school...

    American Repertory Theater | 175 North Harvard Street | Allston

    What dismal architecture. It looks like a group of cheap rental buildings by the side of the highway, circa 2011.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I know it's inevitable and there're good economic reasons for it, but what a bummer. There's something so much more romantic/satisfying about seeing a 4-engine jet taking off, or landing, over the city.

    Dorchester Bay City (nee Bayside Expo Ctr.) | Columbia Point

    ^^ That's hilarious. This one is a "guilty pleasure" for me. On the one hand, it's fugly. It's of-the-moment schlock - the Brawndo of architecture. On the other hand, it's kinda exciting. It's like a mini city where today there's not much. I assume it'll have modish restaurants/retail/etc...

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

    Wow, really not an inspiring view Harvard has of its students: putting up 'suicide glass' in a way that almost no public building (open to any crazy who walks in) would do.

    Bowker Overpass replacement?

    I read through the Northeastern article and honestly felt much more optimistic about this than most of the comments above. My take is: There are three unfortunate realities of this area currently. The first is the fact these heavily trafficked roads exist at all. The second is the immediately...

    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    ^^ That's really too bad. Why did it need a 2/3 majority?

    Viola | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    As the Gen Z kids say (maybe): Jokers gonna joke.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Double Boo. I always love seeing 4-engine planes (the A340) coming in/out. Unlike the A340, the A350 and A330 are double-engine, I believe?

    Davis Square Lab | 231-249 Elm Street and Grove Street | Somerville

    agree - really disappointing

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    This is an architecture forum. Where people comment on the quality of Boston architecture. It's a pretty simple proposition, but I guess you're a little too literal for even that?

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    One can only hope Tremont on the Common - the crown jewel in the Drucker Empire, their multi-generational legacy - looks like this one day (sooner vs. later):

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    ^^ Excellent point. + Druker's a freaking cretin.

    I wish his taste in architecture was as good as his taste in suits.

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    Holy Mother of God. What is this abortion of a design?
