I'll be in Boston in July. This had better be finished by then! :)

I think we have to realize that there are limits to the demand for space for housing or businesses. Let's assume that some company has decided there is enough demand to build either a 120 story super tall or 10 twelve-story buildings clustered around a T station. I go with the latter any day...

That's a great looking school. I only wish I could afford to live in Somerville so I could send my daughter there.

Putting them in a more rural area? Not bad. Putting them next to the country's most beloved ball park? Nah, it's kinda tacky.

Why are there no express trains from NH that bypass the smaller Mass stops like they have on Metro North. Lowell could become the new Stamford and be the transit point for those who want a local train. But to take every stop from Manchester seems like a waste of time and money.

Then I guess you could make the argument that we could provide the best (high speed) train service possible to Springfield, while providing funds to subsidize busses between Albany, Pittsfield and Springfield.

I realize it would require working with NY, but wouldn't extending the service all the way to Albany be something they should consider?

They sure are putting a lot of lipstick on this pig.

I think it would be a waste of money turning the silver line into a trolley-type light rail system. The buses work fine and they're more versatile than putting another trolley on fixed tracks. What I do think they should spend some of the money on is a Silver line tunnel. That way people from...

Am I the only one underwhelmed at the amount of money Mass is getting back from the feds? For a state the regularly sends more to Washington than we get back, I was hoping for at least 20 billion.

Are the leaves falling later than usual this year?

to archboston - Verb - To complain that a building is either not tall enough, too "stumpy" and/or not as good as some building in New York, but when it's built, people say "It's not as bad as I thought it would be". "I hear they're archbostoning the Winthrop on archboston.com"

I agree with you. I'd rather see the entire city look like the North End than Kuala Lumpur. Speaking of Kuala Lumpur, I currently live in the city and it's full of super tall buildings - just Google pictures of the skyline! They're even in the process of building the world's second tallest...

I get it. You've learned the bits about "social justice" and racism that we should have learned in school, but didn't, and now you've taken it upon yourself to educate us older and supposedly ignorant fools on all of the new stuff you've learned. Great. But as someone has conducted intercultural...

I've probably said it before, but I'm going to say it again. Just tear down that sign and put up something that says "Welcome to Boston" or "Boston Red Sox" or something related to the city. We don't need to advertise an oil company that is tied to the corrupt Venezuelan regime.

And the next thread eligible for a move to "Just Stop" coming in 3...2...1...

When I first saw your comment, I had to go back a page or two to see if you were talking about a road or the path. Since I realize it's a path, I completely disagree with you. All forms of non-motorized transportation should be welcome as long as the riders are respectful of others on the path.

"If you have input about the significance of this property, please send to blc@boston.gov before 5pm on 10/17/2021." Dear BLC, Don't tear it down. I'll never forget that one time I parked there. Love, MrDee12345

As a nonsubscriber, I can't see the content. Still, I feel like Lowell is always making a comeback. It's certainly MUCH better than when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s in Billerica. As far as old mill cities go, it's doing quite well. I just wish it would see it self more like an...

I see that most of the new flags honor the natural environment that make Mass great, such as the water, flora, mountains beaches, etc. But those are natural to the area and they don't represent our accomplishments as a state. Could there be a design that represent our high standard of education...
