    Why do brands on Twitter insist on asking inane questions like this?

    Pier 4 Condo Building (Former Anthony's site) | Seaport

    I'd describe the massing of this as "Uri Geller got hold of a cruise ship." Not a fan.

    ^ I don't disagree with you, Itchy, but I think there's a structural issue here as well beyond simply "lacking civic pride." You see this in many second-tier cities that exist in the shadow of a megacity (and this is true in Europe as well, besides just the US): an inability to balance the...

    You’ve done a great service with these photos. Thanks! My broad impressions: wtf that these churches can’t be saved? Why is City Square a tan-gray-terra-cotta mess? Doesn’t this The Grid developer seem like they’re doing a great job? Thank you again

    The New Retail Thread

    Not sure if any US cities have done this, but Sydney piloted a "Small Bars" special licensing which allows ultra-small venues to bypass a lot of the cost and bureaucracy of serving alcohol. It created a sudden blossoming of tiny hole-in-the-wall joints across the CBD.

    A box! Deviously disguised as four boxes. Cunning.

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    Tacky up close, but nobody will see this up close. It's definitely a unique effect, just hopefully not too cartoonish.

    Ink Block (Boston Herald) | 300 Harrison Avenue | South End

    Something's happening. This town is starting to feel large to me, with beer gardens sprouting up in places I didn't know or expect.

    These signs look a lot less out of place than the interstate highway ramp signs.

    Re: North-South Rail Link Some will fault Mr. Musk for his tunnel-vision, but dig deeper and I guarantee you’ll find it absolutely excavating.

    Possible Solution Top Get Amazon to Fort Point Channel

    It's a good potential plan to open up Fort Point generally, but perhaps not for Amazon... too many contingencies, I'd think.

    Re: Block L4 | Seaport Square "Autumn Lane" is not in reference to Summer/Winter streets... it's just an anodyne throw-away name like Cedar Drive would be in a housing development in Houston (or... wait for it, Marine Park Drive. Or, wait for it... Seaport Boulevard. or.... wait for it, Harbor...

    Re: Block L4 | Seaport Square Are we really going to have to live, for eternity, with "Autumn Lane" (barf) and "East Service Road" (ouch)? Who can save us from terrible street names?

    New Yorkers want to move to Boston

    Though it really says more about Redfin's user base than anything else, I'd say that, from my anecdotal experience, it's directionally right. I wonder if it's also based on including the broader metro areas - for example, does Westchester to Wellesley count?

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    Interestingly, that's the one other shape aside from a circle that will roll fluidly (place a board on top of it with a cup of coffee, roll it, and you won't spill any coffee). Defined as the intersection of three circles. Has a bunch of other awesome properties too - see...
