    Beautiful. I recognize Lexington. Where are the water views from? Somewhere on the North Shore?

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    On this regard, I'm surprised the Hingham-Logan ferry schedule is so bad. It's such a fantastic way to and from the airport. I flew back from Seattle this past Sunday, and there seemed to be no weekend service at ALL! I took the boat to Logan on Monday, and it was so fast and easy. (See my...

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    They are the "Starbucks" of London. They are everywhere over in the UK. They seem to have done quite well across the pond here.

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    It's probably not an MBTA thing, but more of an American thing. Europe, Canada, and Australia just seem to have more respect for good design. :)

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    In my humble opinion, the Sydney trams seem so much nicer and more sleek than the MBTA Type 10

    Great idea! I love it.

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    All good points, but the KC Streetcar and the Sydney Light Rail looks SO MUCH better in my opinion. They look more modern.

    I respect your opinion, but in my opinion, One Boston Place is the least attractive skyscraper on our skyline. I don't even mind City Hall and other brutalist or modernist structures. I think it's that One Boston Place has such a prominent location and is seen from SO MANY angles, especially...

    I know quite a few on this Forum appreciate these two buildings, but I feel they could really use a facade update like 1 PO Square. In my opinion, One Boston Place could be improved dramatically by adding a crown or spire of some kind. I feel both towers detract from this excellent skyline view.

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    I can't put my finger on it, but the design doesn't seem as sleek and modern as European Trams. I also really dislike that front side window that opens. It reminds me of an RV side window that you would see in a Winnebago.

    Design a Better Franklin Park

    Franklin Park Zoo: I just spent the last week in San Diego and visited their zoo. I'm not a zoo person, but the San Diego Zoo was pretty spectacular and huge. We saw the giant Pandas and witnessed many animals in very natural settings. The Zoo was absolutely jam packed with people and...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    Fair points. However, as a person not really knowledgeable in the finer details, it sounded good. .........and that's a problem, because 99% of the population is probably even less knowledgeable about the specific details and points you make. The way he laid it out, it seemed like a good...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    This was an interesting listen. He actually made a good case for Battery-Electric rather than the full overhead electric infrastructure. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/commuter-rail-revolution-with-mike-muller/id1705055320?i=1000672343889

    You would think a coffee place named Third Cliff, would have something to do with Scituate and not JP. LOL

    You might be joking......but there is actually a program for that. LOL

    Scituate infill and small developments

    Update: The lower left building has become CP's Woodfired Pizza and the upper right is being fitted out to become another Oysterman location. The original is in Duxbury. Both should bring quite a bit of new activity to the area.
