    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    No, but that's a good thought! As others have said, it's a connection city with limited airline options/competition so they can charge premium prices.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    That word is used WAY TOO much in the Globe!!!!! Don't they own a thesaurus? If I had a nickel for every time they mentioned "soaring" then I would be a very rich person!

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I just want to know: Why does a simple flight to Omaha cost more than a flight to London? LOL I was thinking of heading back to Nebraska in May, and it's SO EXPENSIVE. I even checked Kansas City and Denver as options. The Midwest is a destination desert from Boston Logan.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I don't think people were complaining about natural light for the outside platform area. Multiple people had mentioned that now the existing interior Concourse is going to be dark. I don't think that small gap between the old and new structures was going to provide any natural light. At...

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    Thanks! I was just quickly thinking of communities that only had 1 station near their border. You are totally correct, I forgot about Assembly. (It wasn't around when I lived in Somerville.) I wasn't trying to equate the heavy rail with light rail as the same service level. I suppose a...

    It's so GREEN. Just like Singapore!

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    Totally! Plus, I believe the plan is to eventually have the Type 9 Green Line vehicles run on the Mattapan High Speed Line. In my humble opinion, saying Milton doesn't meet the requirements of a rapid transit community is just an insane argument. Yes, the line runs on the far northern edge...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Do you have a cheat sheet for Carrier codes and destination airports? I know some airport codes without looking, but TVC & YOW, as an example, I would have to Google.

    99 A Street | South Boston

    Well, Coppersmith was pretty cool, and it had a nice roof deck. I hope this means that maybe somebody will preserve it rather than demolish everything.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    FWIW, I work with architects all over the world. I've visited the NYC office of RAMSA multiple times, and they do nice work! I also think the quality of materials will be quite high.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    I just hope we get retail storefronts all along Boylston and Arlington as shown in the renderings. From the street pedestrian perspective, it could be an improvement. However, it's such a loss of interesting architecture, and especially the corner building.

    View Boston (Observatory) | Prudential Tower | Back Bay

    I went there in July last summer, and I really enjoyed it. Yes, it's expensive, but I think it's worth it.

    Parcel L1 | 24 Drydock Ave | Seaport

    With the lab market these days, I wonder if Cronin still plans the 3 lab buildings next to the Dry Dock?

    Lyra (née The Huntington) | 252/258/264 Huntington Avenue | Fenway

    I love to see towers too, but the urban densification with more residential is far more important. I agree.

    How long have you lived here?

    That's an awesome list! Of all of those, I was here for the Sasaki Copley Square design, the Orange Line elevated, and the Orson Welles theatre.

    The New Retail Thread

    OK........splitting hairs. Mayor Wu was very disappointed in the current management of Ashkenazy, and I think she worked to get a new company. Yes, the new company "acquired" the lease, and the city did not officially yank or terminate the Ashkenazy lease. "City officials have worried about...

    They did just that! There is a new management company now.

    Congratulations! I wish we could see all this tomorrow, but it's a wonderful framework to build upon. It's a well-deserved award.

    Congratulations on your honeymoon! Beautiful photos. We stayed at the SAME resort on the Big Island a few years ago, so I know exactly where you are. :)

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    That telephone/electric pole should be buried and not moved. I'm surprised there is still overhead utilities in such a built-up area.
