Re: 1085 Boylston Street Development The neighborhood was in unanimous support of this project as a way to step down from Parcel 12 and restore the streetwall. It's one of Harold Brown's projects and given how restrictive Hamilton's gotten in vetting potential leaseholders (you essentialy...

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans One of the guys told me it's temporary. If you're close enough you can see it's only about 3 ft from the edge of the building. Presumably the dorm rooms (quick to finish) are on the exterior walls and bathrooms, stairs and elevators (longer construction times) are...

Re: Verizon Building Tower Who said they're removing the Bell logo? The pic on the prior page still shows it, and the pic Statler posted is from an older, defunct proposal. I mean, has anyone walked by to confirm? Does anyone even know what they're actually doing to it? Breathe into a paper bag...

Re: The Victor I'm with kz. We all may hate it but it functions.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos The MBTA, quietly giving up since 1964.

Re: MassDOT Pike Parcels 12 - 15 | Boylston St. + Mass. Ave They got quite a bit of shit for this at the recent CAC meeting. And also for blowing more money to have Parsons do a study. Smells very fishy.

If this is the nicest weather it will be all summer I quit show business. The hyperbole is really stunning, especially since anyone who spends any time near the finish line knows that the week in advance is prepping for viewing stands, media tents, and runner amenities. It's really quite old...

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans /\ Huh? **At your request** someone you won't name who either works for the Globe (idiots) or the Herald (hacks) spoke to someone that won't be named and confirmed something that maybe or maybe not resembles the truth? The developer is the Berklee school. Why would...

Re: Boston Conservatory of Music buys 132 Ipswich St Tell that to neighbors who hyperventilate at anything taller than two storeys. FTR the plan is to return later to build to the permitted height. I hear they're overleveraged and in a corner because they couldn't renew a lease somewhere...

Re: The Point (Boylston/Brookline) Wasn't there a community meeting to present the final (engineered) design to the neighborhood earlier in the month? I vaguely remember reading something in the Courant or Fenway News.

You're right. I retract my earlier defense of trying anything at all.

I think the point is that the types who would live here would be at work and out socializing and living their life elsewhere. The Globe article pretty clearly articulated this. The analog is small dorm rooms with huge common areas. Instead of hiding away alone in your room get out and live...

F-line, you may know. The Little Building is in such shitttttttttty shape. I mean the front is held on by strapping right now. Emerson obviously has to do something. Any enticement to provide ADA to at least IB side via the Little Building when that happens? Would code even allow or would they...

Don't expect it anytime soon. Waaaaay behind is the rumor.

Arlington isn't ADA? Did they take out the elevators?

"Not in my basements"?

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown This is the 9/11 rewrite, correct?

I agree -- and that's what I'm saying. The current option (a bucket of roommates living on top another) is about it. A microapartment would be terrific. Ron, adjust your thinking from decades of collecting stuff and think like someone who's been in a cramped dorm or shared bedroom. Likely...

/\ Think the problem is right now we're not keeping any. Dating for 20-34 year olds for example: come back to my shared bedroom to meet my 5 roommates? Or, come back to my studio? EDIT: I was wrong, n/m, nothing to see here. Thank you commuting student for teaching me about college graduates...

Dam. Literally. Damn....
