    Abandoned railroads and rights of way

    Wow, is this what quarantine has come to? We're talking about Medway? :) Just so happens I grew up in Medway. And live there again now. The house on West Street I grew up in (and where my parents still live) is on the map linked by jbray above. I used to fish in Hoppin's Brook (although my...

    Flickr Finds & Social Media Pics

    I don't think I ever noticed before that the giant portico on the west side of the church was a more recent addition.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Yes, I think you did! I count eleven. Funny how when I first looked at that pic I didn't see any birds. Just noticed your post now and had to zoom in for a closer look.

    There were four more cement trucks queued up behind this one on Devonshire Street:

    Thank you WAAF

    There's literally not a single (non-talk) radio station left that I care to listen to anymore. The loss of WBOS as an alt-rock station was the last one. Now it plays the same crap as everyone else. Do I really need to be able to catch Steve Miller Band or Billy Squier on THREE stations...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I love the touch of realism with the inclusion of the ventilation grate. That's honesty. Too often a glass tower is presented as a shimmering wall of solid glass in pre-construction renders and mock-ups. Then the reality... Vertex on Northern Ave was disappointing for this reason, and don't...

    Lobby Renovation/Addition | 175 Federal Street | Financial District

    First the cantilevers on 1POS and now here.... I'm inclined to agree with chrisbrat. But this does have its merits. For one thing it looks like it will go a long way toward brightening up what is always a dark and shadowy corner even during the day on a major and busy public square. And it...

    "The Last Tenement" Discussion | 42 Lomasney Way | West End

    It's a tough line to straddle, fitting in with the emerging scale of the new towers and not overwhelming the tenement. West End Place and Amy Lowell establish a scale more in line with what I was thinking. But if the footprint could be expanded there might be more flexibility. Not sure...

    "The Last Tenement" Discussion | 42 Lomasney Way | West End

    This is turning into a full blown thread derailment, and my apologies for continuing it.... This is sort of what I'm thinking. Forgive the kludgy artwork, but it gives the idea. The building on the left would be a 10 or 12 floor residential. The one on the right would be similar to the lone...

    What's everyone drinking...?

    Blanton's on the rocks, as we speak. Although I usually go with Buffalo Trace for simple financial reasons.

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    Same! It's a wonder we can even function in this world.

    The Sudbury (Bulfinch Crossing Residential Tower) | 50 Sudbury St | GCG Phase I | Gov't Center

    Such a great view of this building. Gotta enjoy it while we can. I wonder... is anyone else slightly annoyed that the "steps" at the top of this building aren't the same height? I'm not complaining... nice clean roof line, consistent extension of the facade, no obvious mechanical screen...
