Re: Mandarin Oriental So 'arcade' is the new ten cent word for a sky-bridge? Can't they just redevelop the L&T into something better?

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Time for a rebuttal letter?

Don't forget about the purple stickers.

I'm not really surprised the empty bucket-drumming guys ruined it for everyone else. They are very loud, not very good, and very annoying.

Is there any possibility of building a secondary access road or the like across the highway/tracks?

Re: Jacob Wirth's The city is getting overrun by winter gardens. The lower Stuart Street side could definitely see improvement; it doesn't look to work well either with pedestrians or the adjacent buildings, particularly the Wirth.

Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. There is an article in the recent Beacon Hill Times... What are the biggest issues going forward? If you guess height and shadows on the greenway, you would be right! Also, questions were asked about narrowing some streets (unspecified which), but the...

According to B.S. the bar in the Liberty Hotel is the hottest place in the city these days. I'm sure Toby and his snout for alcohol knows which is the best.
