    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    I agree that it is mostly nonsense security theater but I think they are more worried a Billy Bob getting pissed at them liberals in Cambridge, Massachusetts curtailing his FREEDOM by telling him he can't drive his coal-rolling F-250 faster than 65 on highways. Afterall, there is a bit of...

    Harriet Tubman House | 566 Columbus Avenue | South End

    What I don't uderstand is where are they going to move that is cheaper than land they already own? How much of that sale money is just going to be sunk back into land acquisition or lease payments? If they want to be anywhere near where they are now, I would guess the answer would be 'most' (if...

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    Tax dollars should only be spent on bland, boring and purely utilitarian things. Everything else is "waste".

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    In my heart of hearts I want the 'Steel Truss' design but I'll admit that the Double Arch is the best design of the three. The third option is the Dollar Tree choice.

    [ARCHIVED] Harbor Garage Redevelopment | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    A while back I called the SST project aB's Moby Dick because we kept chasing it and chasing it getting our hopes only to see it slip out our grasp time and again. But I was wrong THIS project is aB's White Whale. Why? Because people have a completely, utterly unhealthy fixation and...

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    My understanding of the the area was that City Hall, JFK, the court buildings, DA's office, police station, and the State Services Center all constitute the Government Center Complex.

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    No, you are right. I thought of that after I posted it. But I feel pretty comfortable assuming that whatever gets built here will be incredibly bland. I stand by the DD/CVS/BOA triumvirate though. Yes, the building is already surrounded by multiple CVSs/DDs but that has never stopped them...

Although we might be lucky to get a glassy blue box with a Shake Shack. More likely we get...
