They're close enough that I think it depends on the traveler - both blow just about any U.S. airport out of the water. I personally prefer DOH. It feels a little less chaotic to me. I think DXB might have a slight edge on the shopping/dining front, but I'm not doing any luxury shopping in...

It's a great airport for that too!

They're by far my preferred option to India and East Africa. Doha's a great airport for connections. Their stopover program is pretty great too, and their transit visa is excellent if you only have 6 hours or so. There are guided tours, but it's easy enough to grab an Uber or take the metro...

Super cool, thanks for sharing! I've never been an auto racing fan, but my limited experience has left me impressed. I went to New Hampshire 7 years back and while I know it's not anywhere close to Daytona, it was really awesome. I love that you can bring a cooler in, nd the food choices were...

Glad to see it moving forward, it's probably the best use for this land. I'd love something sexier, but this is the confluence of two major highways with roadway infrastructure that's already in place to accommodate the truck traffic. Glad to see it doing more than sitting vacant.

The site has a ton of potential. No matter what happens, I hope this building is included. as far as NIMBYs go, I'm sure we'll here the usual gripes about traffic. But beyond some industrial and/or utility uses, there's not much worse use of the land than a crumbling prison. Good point...

There's nothing wonderful around there, but there's a small park and dog park immediately adjacent to The Mason next door. The Mason also has a grassy courtyard and pool in the open space in the middle of the building - I'd imagine The Maxwell will have something similar. You can see the dog...

They're not the prettiest, but they're definitely good infill.

I'm surprised that it's so hard to make this route work. You'd think there'd be a good mix of leisure and business travel between the two.

Definitely. And Amtrak’s dynamic pricing often means fares are $5-10 each way on the sub 40 minute ride. I still wouldn’t love to do it daily (especially coming from Eastie where my commute is 15 minutes door to door), but that’s better than many MA commuter rail trips.

I think Providence has always been just too far for the vast majority of Boston workers. That's a rough 5 day/week commute. What's really changed is that there's been an explosion of remote work and hybrid work which makes Providence an option for people who might have otherwise ruled it out if...

Definitely true for most air travel - I've rarely encountered an OTA offering a better price than direct with the airline and they're not equipped to help when things don't go as planned. I've worked on the hotel side of things, and I'd offer the same advice for lodging as well. While hotel...

More regional and less Logan, but Breeze is apparently hemorrhaging money. I've had some questions about their business model (especially the quick adds and cuts to routes), but this looks bad. I realize they're still newish, and that it takes time to turn a profit, but they're burning through...

They need a waiver for the requirement for the 25 foot construction setback from the seawall. Based on what I can see in the renderings, the new proposal has a landscaped setback between the walkway and the building itself. I'm not sure if it's 25 feet, but it's clearly a setback. The older...

I realize this is off-topic, but every game I've been to in the last several years (going back to 2018 or 19) has been the result of the secondary market's dynamic pricing. I use TickPick in particular (the displayed prices include taxes/fees, so you know the bottom line from the start). It's...

Great pics!

It feels connected - just a whole lot less established. For Me, the sod line (where new meets old) and the trees are the biggest differentiators. The walkways in Piers Park II are blacktop whereas I are brick and that’s noticeable, but not enough to make it feel like they’re not connected. It...

The Pinehills is really its own self-contained entity and often referred to as such. I don't view "walkable to the town center" as intentionally misleading or cause for confusion for most. As you said, the development has its own "town center" and I think it's pretty clear that this written...

Did I miss the "mile away" part? The article says, "a young engineer working on the demolition of an old bridge deck happened to look over at the adjacent westbound bridge and thought, “That doesn’t look right.” This bridge is two separate spans, so it reads to me like this engineer was on the...

This will be a win for the space, though the additional floor and 8 units would have been better. I actually appreciate the Projo's tone re: the height reduction: Renderings from the May meeting show the taller building would still be shorter than the main roofline of the the church, much...
