How old is Chiofaro now? I seem to remember him being up there when this whole mess started under Menino.

If I had any sway, I'd hold out support until they brought back Betts.

We don't hang witches on Boston Common! That's where we hang heretics*! Witches are sent up to Salem**. * Ok, one heretic, and we apologized and ever gave her a nice statue. ** Now Danvers, and yes, they were actually local to the area, they weren't sent from Boston.

Lyric video because the official video gives away too much of the movie (which is great)

Has anyone been by here since the weekend garage demo work?

At least we can all agree that the most embarrassing thing in this photo is Tremont On The Common.

Philadelphia is waay ahead of you.

I'm guessing sometime after it actually opens.

Eastie, Rozzie and of course Southie have been a thing for a long as I can remember. Growing up in West Roxbury I heard Westie occationally but it really wasn't common.

In case anyone was wondering about why some people are making a fuss about lawsuits, this was a big deal back in the 80's: Of course, the article I got this from is actually arguing that playgrounds should be less safe. The Overprotected Kid

A fresh coat of paint on an old jalopy. It still don't run but looks better on the front lawn. Then again, I was completely wrong about the Greenway, so take that as you will.

Is that slide actually stainless steel? That is going to be a skin peeler in the summer. (I'm sure it must be coated or something)

I can't wait for the first 20+ minute delay on the Orange Line and watching Boston Twitter + UHUB to lose their ever-loving shit. :rolleyes:

I think I have figured out what bothers me the most about the rebranding. I really dislike the combined AB. I understand it was intentional but it makes the Museum seem smaller and more regional rather than global. The MET, The Louvre, The V&A*, The Art Institute, The MFA. People who are even...

I can't find a news story on this so I will just post the tweet. :rolleyes: I try to be opened minded about change, but it's going to take a while to warm up to this.

They could open a museum of loaned objects, but I imagine they would want their own permanent collection as well, which wouldn't be impossible but not easy either. I would love to see it happen either way.

I've thought about that a lot. The problem is that most of the 'good stuff' is already in the hands of the MFA, Historic Boston or the state archive. It would have to be a collaborative effort between them and I could see that being tough to pull off.

There have been a lot good murals here but this is one of my favorites. Just a great use of the space.
