Actually, good stuff. It's interesting that the developers see the $2-3k range as a new market - people who would have bought in the 2010s, but can't quite afford the $3k mortgage they'd likely be saddled with if buying in today's market with today's interest rates. I guess that makes sense. I...

It's generic, but not out of context. The home on the property is nice enough, but probably not worthy of putting up a fight for.

I like this project a lot. I didn't love that it replaced a restaurant, but this is going to be a major improvement to this corner. If a developer ever decided to build urban on the Shaw's and the strip mall properties across the street from this, the square could be a nicely framed urban space.

It's unfortunate, but it's hard to convince people to ditch the car living in a city/region that has been developing around the car for nearly 80 years. Especially when the transit options are so limited, walkability is a mixed bag, and many of the basic needs aren't within walking distance. I...

The signs pointing to E13-16 and E1-12 are great, and will probably be very noticeable from the new security checkpoint which appears to be where this was taken from. However, coming from the old checkpoint, I didn't even notice this in person.

I think Stlin is right, but LIS is a weird place to prove the point that you're not a low-cost/leisure airline. The growth at LIS is largely due to the increased popularity of Portugal as a leisure destination (that, and TAP's efforts to make LIS a hub for travel between North America/Europe and...

Does Connecticut offer a lot of incentives to airlines to fly out of BDL? They seem to get some surprising routes. In 2021, I flew nonstop on JetBlue from BDL to CUN. It was like $500 less than a connecting flight out of BOS, and it was surprising they had the route in the first place. The Aer...

TW - Crazy Transit Pitch: It'd never, ever, ever, EVER happen for a multitude of reasons, but Sim City god-mode part of me would love to see an airport built built on fill in the middle of Boston Harbor (leveling and connecting several of the Harbor Islands) in conjunction with a flood barrier...

I would imagine JetBlue is going to continue the approach of trying to compete in markets already served out of BOS rather than trying to launch service to a new market. I'm not saying it's the best approach, but it seems to be what they're doing.

I’m originally from the South Coast and following the local reaction to the project has been fun. Among other silly concerns, people seem to believe that SCR will simultaneously bring in “undesirables” who will ruin FR/NB with drugs AND lure in all of the wealthy people from Boston who will...

I flew out of E earlier in October and it was staffed (lightly) and a few people were passing through but it looked like just crew and airport workers. I don't know if anyone else could use it. All passengers were still using the old checkpoint, including TSA Precheck. There was no obvious...

I realize this is a few weeks old, but I'm just seeing it for the first time. I live in Eastie (near Maverick) and almost always walk to/from the terminal when I fly (which is fairly often). Most of the time it's A, but I also travel out of E pretty frequently too. If I'm flying out of E (or C)...

You're right, I doubt anyone would be connecting at BOS for AMS/CDG/FCO. But It would be another one-stop option to DUB, EDI, TLV, ATH, LIS, etc. And I don't know that London wouldn't still be appealing as a 1-stop via BOS. AM flies the route 1x daily departing at 10:30pm and arriving mid/late...

I don't think that's "tin foil hat" territory at all. From a PR standpoint is it better to open earlier and have speed restrictions for a few days, or is it better to keep it closed longer and open without speed restrictions? The first several high-profile shut downs followed the former...

That schedule - woof. I would have thought the BOS arrival would have been scheduled to facilitate some Europe connections on Delta. Apparently not. And I'm surprised that they're going to park the plane overnight at BOS. At least the arrival in MEX should work for Latin America connections.

This ad started showing up in my social feed. I can’t find the flight loaded anywhere and I haven’t seen an announcement. Anyone know something I don’t? I know Air India - Boston has long been rumored. *edit* I’m getting them for Mumbai too. Maybe they’re just Air India ads rather than route...

I really hope they can make this work. Things have changed since their last attempt at BOS. They've upgraded their fleet (particularly with 737 MAX 8s and 9s which are idea for this route), and Delta has really established BOS as a hub. MEX makes a solid hub for Central/South American...

Well, that's the point. But you can't switch at Haymarket right now because the station is closed. The Green Line isn't running between Government Center and North Station. So if you want to go from, say, Magoun Square to Heath Brigham Circle, you've got to get off at North Station and switch to...

Some people don't really have a choice if they're going a ways from the core. But I had to run an errand to REI at CX the other day and opted to just stay on the OL and walk from Community College rather than switch at North Station to an Eastbound GL train. Considering the GL headways ("7-9...

Yikes. Architecturally it's an improvement, but the lack of residential is problematic. How is that even possible? And while I understand the current buildings underutilize valuable urban space, I've always had a fondness for that Properzi Way/Tyler St. corner. It's surprisingly active in spite...
