... wow. its an abomination, of the type I thought we had left behind in the 70s.

... Ron, nice to meet you.

... its got that spankin' new office park feel to it. I think it actually looks worse than it did in the renderings - and those were bad.

... i don't know.... if one were to put a cartoon figure on a real bomb, does that then render that bomb as "obviously not a danger"? We should be proud of the way our emergency personell handled everything, remembering that two fake pipe bombs (unrelated to the ad campaign) were also found...

... i dunno about "all" the makings. it currently lacks enough public uses on either side of the canal to make it any sort of destination, and all the new construction in the area is forced by Kressel and Vivian into providing so much 'open space' on the canal sides of new construction instead...

... ... too bad. IMO, it actually looked better without the head.

... oh GAWD!!! that Columbus statue is an absolute joke. is it still beheaded?

... ... hmm... don't most statistics show that France likely has a BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE for its citizens than most of our country? This is not to be confused with STANDARD OF LIVING, which is just a measurement of how much crap we can buy. We sure could stand to be a little more like France.

... if nothing else, building affordable housing at market standards allows future flexibility when/if conditions change around a specific property. Building crap only insures that it can be nothing more than crap in the future.

... ...too bad that it looks like they are doing nothing to make the former Marche space come out to the street and form a proper street wall. But if they put outdoor tables out there, it could still be a slight improvement..... in summer anyways.

... ... love the Cram proposal....

... ... such a short ride. Why ISN'T this a subway line??? It goes through some of the densest part of the city, AND it goes through some parts that could really benefit from new development. Probably cheaper than the silverline.

... i also recall another proposal to put an island neighborhood in the middle of the charles around the mass. ave bridge.

... ... any shortcomings in surface area can be compensated by building taller no?

... ... all that is true, but it doesn't mean it can't be fixed.

... that video was awesome. for me, it was the first time i'd seen the old el, functioning, along with the stations, in color, and in motion.... didn't even realize that the actual trains I ride today were the same ones that travelled on the elevated track... the sad thing about it is that...
