Sunset from 1 Beacon overlooking the common (one of my favorite views)

Mod Espresso opened inside Modern Relik store off Harrison Ave in South End. Very nice and trendy space for the design district. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2019/09/coffee-bar-to-open-inside-modern-relik.html?m=1

Found this page interesting as it’s a well known site- https://skyscraperpage.com/database/country/2 Boston+Cambridge+Brookline = 421 high rises. This is less than Houston which surprised me. And DC plus suburbs like Arlington, Rockville, Tysons, Alexandria, etc gives Chicago a run which was...

This hood looked more like Philly row houses than Boston ...

San Francisco was surprisingly denser than I had thought compared to Boston as well. I wondered if the ink block square km will move up when the Quinn and 100 Shawmut are done, but I read the two projects add just 238 units which hardly moves the needle.I think Seaport will be ~8K people next...

not sure what zone 1a means but it looks like the Longwood Mall?? I usually park there to walk over to emerald necklace trials or timeout market.

You got it! I thought the angle would make it harder to guess ...

European feeling streetscape ...

I was landing into Logan and thought the linear Boston skyline looked great from this angle, even though it’s very far away. I flew by New Haven and Providence skylines and this put the relative size in perspective for me (not sure why, but the Boston city size shifts almost daily for me -...

Here is a new one posted one at a time.

Sounds good to me. I would suggest using meetup.com for organizing if not already planning to do so.

I agree it’s a good idea to post one at a time, rather than in sets. And I find the responses sharing how you identified it really interesting too.

Being new to Boston, I spent a lot of time on Google Earth exploring the city; and would share random shots with my wife to guess where it is. For some reason, she did not find the game fun at all and told me to go play with those forum people ... so I'll give it a shot but get the sense this...

Maybe more for Instagram, but I thought it was a good shot of the Zakim and downtown from Paul Revere Park 1E83BA6A-3AB2-48A7-A34A-4C7BF0C505C0 by S S, on Flickr

Saw the new orange line train in the T yard under the Traveler St bridge between southend and south Boston. I walk over this bridge every Sunday for breakfast, but first time I saw it. Untitled by S S, on Flickr

I found this project really interesting to contrast density in Boston and compare to other cities: https://garrettdashnelson.github.io/square-density/
