Uptown in really coming up! /s

It blows my mind that this is the same windswept, empty intersection I commuted through for years.

Towne has gone downe (...try not to frowne)

Is the garage over Congress coming down before or after this?

The transit+beer logo is legitimately fantastic. Well done on that.

Sorry, I clarified in an edit above. To expand: The western end of SFR stays - from the IHOP to Western Ave. Eastbound SFR drivers coming from the west are, at that point, connected straight onto eastbound Pike. My argument is that they can still access the Back Bay and downtown just as easily...

As was said above, simply remove SFR - everything east of Western/River. Tie it in to the Pike at the Allston/Cambridge interchange - eastbound to eastbound, westbound to westbound. Arlington or Watertown commuters going to Back Bay who currently use SFR can now use SFR-->Pike and exit at the...

I like the Public Market and I generally like where it is - a location that will make even more sense when everything around North Station and the Government Center Garage takes shape. But I wonder if there was a missed opportunity to interweave the public market into Quincy Market, thereby...

Itchy, good to see you back here. I agree completely. We were in the area and stopped in for the “Blink” light/sound show that happens every half hour. The PR they put out about this makes it sound like a big deal. It was actually pitiful, like I literally felt pity for anyone who went out of...

Jouhou, sorry I had this veer more towards generalized investment strategy. Without the extra context you've just given, it was hard to say in a vacuum what a good investment could be, because on the surface there's going to be an opportunity cost to anything. Also, to be frank, the tone of your...

The preserved building reads to me like the “Up” house - they wanted to bulldoze it but they couldn’t so they canyoned around it. Kind of sad. I think that’s how it will read to most people walking by. Not layered urbanism at its finest.

I love this topic - but I’m not any sort of professional in this area. Take my advice for what you will. First and foremost the mantra that’s worked for me is to keep your assets very well diversified across sectors. The reasons are fairly obvious and many studies have confirmed diversified...

Can you please go away for a while?

Winter, so you say... Next time we're going to need to see a newspaper in the shot to confirm the date ;>

Re: North-South Rail Link YES. And add to that the populated and walkable areas on the south side - including the entirety of the Fairnount line, Needham line, and Worcester Line out to Auburndale... along with Brockton, Stoughton, Canton, Legacy Place, University Ave, Norwood, Walpole, Hyde...

I have a faux-fur knee-length winter parka from Uniqlo, just a shade over $100. It's the warmest thing I've ever owned, and no animals were plucked or skinned in making it.

I believe I've heard that the stop signs on the hill are to test brakes before the descent.

And the Ig Nobel Awards

The base looks like it was flown in from the Bahamas. Will we be getting palm trees?

^ Always seemed to me to be a better fit for Copley... not sure if that's where it's moving. Copley is old-luxe and Pru is filling up with made-for-instagram brands. Not sure which is more insufferable.
