    General Boston Discussion

    I had the good fortune to grow up in a small Nebraska farm town. (I always say it was like Mayberry R.F.D on the Andy Griffith Show.) My family is still located in Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma..............3 very conservative states. I follow the politics and conversations in those 3...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    I love all the improvements to Back Bay station and the street activation, yet I agree that this design is pretty terrible. Is that blank wall just above the first floor supposed to be parking? It looks like about 4 floors of nothing. I realize the existing garage is terrible, and this will...

    General Infrastructure

    Wow, that is awesome...........and also SAD at the same time. I love how you can click on the stations for a photo and information. Thanks for posting.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Did they punt on that outside column? It was wrapped and then removed, and now this seems like a tepid design response. Do you think it's final?

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I know it's preliminary, but you would think a little creative design would go a LONG way for people to get excited about this and onboard with the concept.

    MBTA Red Line headhouse construction as viewed from the Urban Park on the Garage Roof. It was a beautiful day on Easter Sunday.

    Lab Building (née Hotel Hampshire) | 34-40 Hampshire St. | Cambridge

    The street experience on this one is amazing! It should win an award. I mean, look at how much that guy in shorts is enjoying the architecture and street level activity! It's such a level above that European street CRAP in Barcelona or Paris. I want to hang out here all day and enjoy the...

    Idyl Fenway | 60 Kilmarnock St | Fenway

    I wish every project in Boston had the SAME or better quality as this one. :)

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    I would have never guessed the Lincoln, NE one. I lived there for six years while in college. ........although that was a FEW years ago. LOL

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    Now I'm confused. Which one of the renders is the current iteration. I thought the two renderings above were the original proposal, and now we have a much slender tower proposal. Is that not the case?

    General Boston Discussion

    I don't live in Boston, but I've been impressed by her actions and talk. She has a series of videos on Instragram where she commutes with a different Boston resident every week to hear their frustrations with transit in Boston. Politics are difficult, but at LEAST she appears to care and...

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

    I just noticed another VERY small area for improvement. The Hingham ferry terminal is shown on the bay between E. Weymouth and W. Hingham. In actuality, I believe it would be located on the bay between W. Hingham and Nantasket Jct. Looking on the Google Map, I can see where the ferry...

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

    You should submit that map to them. It's SO MUCH better than the official MBTA map.

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

    The MBTA needs to hire a real designer like Henry Beck. :)

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

    I like the forward direction and positive tone of the Commonwealth article, but it kind of frustrates me a bit. Reading the article, it sounds like the MBTA and Keolis came up with the brilliant plan for a more all-day regional rail schedule on their own as a brilliant new idea to combat COVID...
