    Please stop.

    I gotta say: Your post (#3,435) doesn't exactly seem to be welcoming two-way political discourse with Charlie_MTA. Is it fair to say you're demanding the mods don't shut down your political speech (or else you'll take your ball and go home), but you don't want anyone to voice perspectives...

    Belmont Developments

    Yeah, WTF is with new local high schools being so goddamn ugly these days? This is hideous. Same goes for Somerville High School ... or any other local high school built in the last decade. Winchester. Concord-Carlisle. Newton North/South. One side of Needham High School (a mutant facadectomy)...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Good point. This reminds me of 450 Lexington Ave in New York, which did something similar in the 80s with a similarly nice (though less prominent) old Beaux Arts building.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    That is *quite* the feat with the op-ed stable the Globe has these days.

    Kendall/MIT Infill and Small Developments

    Mixed feelings on this. I am sure making the building useable for academic purposes makes it tough to keep the small windows appropriate for a storage facility. At the same time, the glass carbuncles are an unfortunate erasure of a fantastic historic structure. Tough call.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Chiofaro needs to sue the pants off this idiotic city.

    Boston College Master Plan

    Yes, and 80% of what's come since then has been a willful, spiteful unlearning.

    Downtown Lynn

    Too bad. The buildings look quite nice - wonderful, well-built old masonry structures that meet the street well. They just needed some infill to fill the gaps that post-war "progress" left behind.

    The New Retail Thread

    Nice! Wolfgang's is my favorite NYC steakhouse (IMO better than the much-revered Peter Luger). As they've expanded quality - at their NYC restaurants, at least ... no idea how the ex-NYC ones are - has gotten a little variable. But still great.

    Downtown Crossing/Financial District | Discussion

    BronsonShore: Stop. Smoking. Crack. This is an architecture forum, not an Antifa summer camp.

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    Everett too. Sweet!

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    Yes. Funny how in previous eras the solution was that parcels were simply smaller, leading to tremendous diversity in the built environment. Given the price of land today and the associated near-requirement that any construction involve an ecosystem of sophisticated / expensive legal...

    Parcel X | 310 Northern Ave | Raymond L Flynn Marine Park

    Looks like it's replacing a fairly large facility holding 4-5 seafood processing and distribution companies? Seafood processing and distribution businesses feel like things that belong on the waterfront. And not immediately clear where they might move to, with every parking lot owner and his...

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

    That dude brings back good (23+ year) old memories of this:

    Kenmore Square North (WHOOP) | 533-541 Commonwealth Ave | Fenway

    This is just one giant, cheaply constructed bitchslap to Boston.

    Kenmore Square North (WHOOP) | 533-541 Commonwealth Ave | Fenway

    What utter trash this building is.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    This is where most of the WiredNY people migrated to (at least originally): https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/tags.php?tag=new+york It's less intelligent (i.e., less likely to focus on design quality vs. skyscraper height) than WiredNY was in its heyday. It's less intelligent than ArchBoston too...

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    100%. And shame on the troglodyte demagogues running for mayor who are coming out against this. They are wholly unfit for public office.

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Stellarfun - is it really any slower than anything else? It feels like it's moving at about the same pace as any other development.

    Parcel 25 | Kneeland St | Chinatown

    WTF is that? So you get penalized for being white? Makes me want to become a contractor to sue the living daylights out of the state for their reverse Jim Crow.
