    kz's Wanderings Around Greater Boston

    Hard to believe that was ever approved in Winchester! It's so out of place, but I guess the 60's were a different time! :)

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

    Thanks! Well, I still find it misleading, and most people won't understand that it doesn't mean FULL electrification with overhead wires for the entire route. :)

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

    I think this exact image was used on the local news last night. My husband, who has absolutely zero interest in public transportation, said "Look, the T is getting electric trains." I said, well not exactly........but then we paused and saw these images. I think the average person has NO...

    Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

    I would love to see this copied over to the Back Bay Garage development rather than the stack of blocks currently proposed.

    Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

    I really like this project. I liked it from the renderings, and it's turned out quite nice.

    The New Retail Thread

    Reading the story posted by @bigpicture7, they mention Tatte Bakery. Tatte is really expanding to the burbs with location in Hingham opening soon. https://www.hinghamanchor.com/beloved-local-bakery-cafe-tatte-to-open-first-south-shore-location-at-derby-street-shops/

    Revere Infill and Small Developments

    Does anyone know if there are plans to redevelop the 3 concrete condo/apartment buildings from the 80's? They are VERY prominent when you fly into Logan from the northern route. I've heard they are in VERY bad shape. Seems to me, they could be redeveloped into a nicer looking structure like...

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Does the airport roadway have a name? I just returned from Denver and the main access to the airport is named Pena Boulevard. Instead of renaming all of Logan Airport for Bill Russell, what about naming the whole terminal access road Bill Russell Road.........or something like that? What...

    MBTA Construction Projects

    I went to a High School Graduation ceremony at Polar Park recently, and I was impressed with the area around both Polar Park and Union Station. Looking at the 961 website, I absolutely want to try it. Too bad it's quite a haul from Scituate.........even by train. :)

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    I just wish we could sell this as an integrated transportation system that would alleviate the burden on the downtown Orange and Green lines as well. I keep looking to Munich. The Munich S-Bahn rail tunnel is so tightly integrated into their U-Bahn metro system that the average person doesn't...

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    I enjoyed reading the article and always chuckle at the comments section. I remember the area well since I moved to Somerville in 1987. There was the Assembly mall and movie theater in that area, and that was about it in the late 80's. It's SO MUCH better now. Build the 2nd entrance to...

    Scituate infill and small developments

    For increased development potential, you can see all the details on the new Water Treatment plant. It's already over budget, and I believe a new town meeting has been called to request additional funding. https://www.scituatema.gov/home/new-water-treatment-plant Here is the town meeting...

    Scituate infill and small developments

    It's not exactly infill or small development, but Scituate is the first town featured within this nice summary article. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/the-15-best-small-towns-to-visit-in-2024-180984472/

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I always thought the best highway skyline view was coming in on the Mass Pike and going over the "throat" overpass that may soon be gone. You have the Charles River, the downtown skyline, plus the Back Bay skyline all lined up for just a few seconds before you plunge down into the main cut of...

    Allston Yards (Stop and Shop) | 60 Everett St | Allston

    It's certainly one of the better renderings and developments that I've seen recently. I like the architectural variation.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Glad to see an actual water feature and not just steam or a drizzle. Looks nice!

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    I remember that too! I had a roommate who was studying Computational Fluid Dynamics at MIT and he later worked at Boeing. He loved to visit there and watch the planes. I don't think I ever remember the bar being open, but we were always there during the day. This was probably around 1988 or...
