I’d love to attend that ZBA meeting.

Random question (mods, feel free to move), but does anyone know why the Hynes closed the busway/driveway thing? For several months now, the Massport busses double park at the Gloucester Street intersection, blocking the stop light, because they can’t pull into the loading space. Seems like only...

Seriously, what are you two idiots even fighting about?! I’m so confused.

Stick, I gather Weiner’s team have been having troubles since late 2018, so this really isn’t a surprise, given their record (versus someone like Samuels’ success on the Fenway). Maybe that’s why the parcel 12 and 15 projects were split in the first place? The dark horse in the next evolution...

My understanding is the fencing is more or less to deter the indigent encampments that have been there since St. C sold the site, and that the potties are for field workers doing pre-con site evaluations, should a deal be struck. Still no official closing, as of Tuesday morning (at least, to my...

What I've heard was there was some VE by the development team, taking adavtage of some public/agency comments (including one person, who commented that the render was of a westbound pic—which no one would ever see that view—so, why didn't they show an east-bound render?), prompting a supposed...

One of the hiccups is the neighborhood-types are demanding that they improve the southern sidewalk of Boylston Street during the Parcel 12 construction (which isn't in the area of work or the defined scope of the project); they're basically asking for a dedicated bike lane, expanded sidewalk...

No. They haven't closed the deal (as of Thursday), therefore permits can't be issued.

re: 104 Hemenway, my best recollection is the buliding was comdemnded after the fire was contained, since the roof had collapsed into the upper two floors at the north courtyard..... and there had been an "all clear" order to only work from outside in the worst of it after the roof failure...

For what it's worth, and as a long-time lurker/one-time poster who's gone fairly quiet, I really appreciate you posting pics of activity around town. Thanks, sincerely. Please, keep it up. In my own professional life, folks like you help when folks like me when we need to research the...

I clearly haven't been around for a few years, and this thread is the perfect example of why. Have you seen FSG's CD/bid set? Are you a structural expert who can warrant this is "two separate projects?" Perhaps you're an engineer who knows the MEP are "two separate projects." C'mon, this is...

Charlesgate West is dead. D-E-D, dead.

Charlesgate west is dead.

It was always kinda the busiest place on Boylston though between the Apple Store, the Pru itself and the Hynes. I just wish the city would crack down on these idiot cabbies who loiter in the bus stop speak in car horn all day.

Why don't you guys give Bill Rawn a call and he'll tell you about the myriad of conditions that must be met to pass ADA, i.e. the doors have to stay open a certain period of time and the path of travel needs to conform, while not hogging net usable sf. (617) 423-3470 It looks to me like an...

The Fenway CDC wants NEU, Emerson and Berklee/BoCo to freeze their IMPs and create a "holistic" IMP. http://www.bostonherald.com/business/business_markets/2016/11/fenway_cdc_eyes_freeze_on_college_plans EDIT: errant comma

Sorry to veer OT, but what did Ginger's used to be? We ate there all the time in the early '00s, but the name escapes me. EDIT: NM, it was Betty's Wok & Noodle.

Sorry, I'm so sorry. I've really tried to rachet back from being "that guy" the last year or so, but if you really look at the Mandarin, almost *all* of it is glass/storefront at street level. And yet, it's still a terrible, alienating building. I just worry so much about Peeble's bring more of...

Invite, engage, ecourage interest. Peeble's Parcel 13 proposal for sidewalk-level pedestrian/building engagement is frighteningly (sp?) similar to the Mandarin, with only the Boylston St. T entrance really disrupting the E-W super-block sensation. The faux-plaza and few extra trees look really...
