I find myself in the Laconia area pretty often for work so thought I would start a thread for it. I was up there about a week ago to check out the newly renovated Colonial Theater. Built in 1914 it was apparently billed as "The most beautiful theater north of Boston" at the time. The magnificent...

I got to take a train out of south Station yesterday and I know people were worried about filling in the ends of the tracks but it actually feels really great when you are there. I remember feeling super cramped on the area between the station and the tracks before, especially when people would...

The homeless issue is what drives me the most up the wall. The solution is to house people, not give people less places to sit. Because the city won't address real issues in housing, affordability, and mental health we all get a more uncomfortable city where those who need seating or restrooms...

And we all agree "old" penn station was an unimaginable failure and not built for the people that use it. If we wanted it to just be the same then why did we build a new shiny train hall?

More people are getting mad at the lack of seating at Moynihan. The sheer number of people having to sit on the floor is crazy. If it is truly a "once the rest of the hall opens there will be seating" problem the they should put in temporary seating until that is open. People shouldn't have to...

I work with a company that is a direct competitor to the producers of Sleep No More so I will just kindly respond to this with a "no"😂

^ what I wouldn't give to get to work on a theater piece in that space.

The "ticketed waiting area" was full, it had a line of people waiting to get in but couldn't. There were also plenty of people waiting to meet people that were delayed and couldn't get into the seating area because they didn't have tickets. The commodification of seating in the train hall is...

Y'All. I'm in Moynihan Train Hall right now and all the trains are delayed by hours. Hundreds of people are waiting. Know what would be helpfull? Some benches. Put benches in Moynihan Train Hall. I was sitting on this ledge and got told I couldn't sit there by security. There are people sitting...

Also, I took this pic back in March but it kinda shows how much this building aligns with the weird street grids in the area.

Over from the bushwick/bed-stuy/williamsburg areas I'm always, in 9 Dekalb catches some major view corridors (like looking down Mytrle ave). I've also been working down in Brooklyn Heights for the past few months and it completely transforms the physical and psychological shape of a major chunk...

Woah. They are going to build out over the tunnel after all? That's going to make this building much more expensive.

So many memories in that building. I totally get that it needs a face lift but this feels super soulless. Besides all the days looking at clothes in Hootenanny and cds in Newbury Comics, my biggest connection to this building was going to see Actors Shakespeare Project's Titus Andronicus in...

Thank you! This is exactly what i was looking for. It seems everything is coming to a head over the next year or so. we will see how it all plays out.

The money poured into this one park could have fixed up and built endowments for so many other parks all across the city, but a single rich guy couldn't call all the shots that way so we get this park that looks good in pictures but is barely accessible.

So what is the actual timeline of future events with the garage? When does the Harbor tower parking easement end? Their mechanical easement? how long until the garage is structurally in need of a renovation? I'm sure I could dig back and find this else where on the site but I feel like someone...

They are trying to keep the field as busy as possible. https://amp.telegram.com/amp/5126204001

also, for those height people out there, at 163' this will be the tenth tallest building in Worcester.

I know this seems crazy, but this building is technically only 4 blocks and less than 2,000 feet as-the-crow-flies from the tallest building in Worcester. it may seem like it is tall for the area, but that is because they don't have 600 Main Street in any of the renderings.

I don't think the point of the peanut is to make things easier, it is to make things safer. For pedestrians and bicycles it seems to be doing that in spades. I haven't heard about car accident rates with the new design but from purely anecdotal evidence it seems to work for cars too.
