It's exciting to see this actually happening!

Dexter Street rendering looks great! I wish we had some of this over in Everett. Dexter Street seems thoughtfully designed with some architectural character and varied facade.

Seeing the photos of Haymarket reminded me of my experience at Gordon Ramsay's Burger restaurant that looks out onto Blackstone Street. It was "OK" but nothing amazing. The burger bun was actually cold on the bottom, but I didn't see him run out and yell at anyone. :) Has anyone eaten there...

You can really see how Winthrop is indeed the tallest downtown from this photo. In many instances, it doesn't look like the tallest. I would have loved to see South Station break just a little higher than Winthrop, just to balance the view from this location.

As you know, Transit Matters proposed extending to Plymouth Center. Cordage Park is getting some nice development as you mentioned. Untold Brewery of Scituate just opened a new large taproom there. https://www.untoldbrewing.com/plymouth I think Quincy Center is quite popular among Old...

I didn't even notice the Old State House in the old photo until you pointed it out. I guess I should have zoomed in. Thanks!

I love that building with the tower cupula to the left of the photo. Does anyone know what that building was used for? Was it government or commercial. I've tried to get my bearings with Google Maps, and I can't figure out where this shot was taken. Are we looking down State Street toward...

The law is so complicated, and people don't understand the full meaning of it. It requires a community to zone for increased density, but it doesn't require that specific zoning is actually immediately buildable. For instance in Scituate, water and sewer connections are a HUGE problem for...

Nope! Not yet. The mainline between Braintree and South Station has some serious limitations with single-track on a large portion of it. It might have been the MAPC or maybe MassDot, but there was a recent survey asking about "the next big transit project" that Mass should be planning for...

You never know. I remember shortly after 9-11, they said tall building would NEVER be built again............and that certainly didn't come true. There are certainly strong headwinds against any new high-rise construction as you mention, but I'm always surprised at the resiliency of our...

Not to derail this, but I was at Hub Hall last week, and I thought it was definitely more "food court" than upscale Food Hall. Nothing wrong with that at all. I just noticed the options were fairly basic. So maybe this CambridgeSide renovation will be more like Hub Hall than Time Out or High...

Looks great. It really needed a refresh from the 80's neon. I love the better connection to the Canal. YEARS ago, there was an Uno's along the canal, and that was always a nice view. Uno's was located where the current hotel is located if I remember correctly.

Thursday evening. (02.08.24)

A few shots from the Hingham Ferry on Thursday. (02.08.24) The sun was kind of in the wrong place for a good sunset view.

I haven't been to Dubai, but Doha is new and absolutely beautiful with indoor gardens that rival any botanical garden.

That sounds so nice! I had to settle for buying a Starbuck's mug at the airport and shopping for some souvenirs at the gift shop. :)

I took Qatar on a trip to Singapore last year. It was a really nice flight with excellent connections in Doha, so I'm not surprised they are increasing to 10x weekly. I would certainly fly them again.

This is crazy, transit fantasy..........but I was looking at a map of the relationship between Charles Street MBTA Station and Kenmore. Extend the Blue Line to Charles Street Station and turn along the river. REMOVE Storrow Drive and replace it with cut/cover tunnel for the Blue Line subway...

Back to the BU Data Sciences Building: Anyone can vote for this building in the current 2023 Harleston Parker People's Choice Awards: https://www.architects.org/news/vote-now-for-2023-harleston-parker-peoples-choice-award

A place can have good value, but it still needs to be clean, bright, and welcoming. There is nothing wrong with a little refresh, no matter if it's a McDonalds or the Four Seasons. Remember Copley Place? It was very 1980's polished stone and brass. It received a much-needed refresh not too...
