It does have a sihlouette similar to Wachusett Mt., looks about the appropriate distance away . . . probably is.

I appreciate the warnings, but I am just not a fan AT ALL of unions. They had their place ~100+ years ago but now serve only to perpetuate mediocrity and make it increasingly difficult for the companies they infect to be competitive. The BCEC surely brings a fair bit of economic activity to the...

I agree 100% with you, Rifleman.

Ron, I agree. I public market is different in concept from vendors. I also agree that both can exist and serve to improve the space as a whole, provided there is sufficient traffic and business to sustain them. Blade, interesting article. Thank you for pointing me to it. Not sure they'd fare...

C'mon everybody . . . You mean to tell me you don't believe the government should be responsible for telling us what we can and cannot eat?!?! Rifleman's idea of downsizing the government (all levels, as far as I am concerned) is a brilliant one. Aside from providing a national defense, what...

Re: Filene's Well said, Rifleman!!

Re: Fenway HoJo That building is a lot like what my minds' eye pictured the Miniluv to look like.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 unions and political hacks . . . eroding the fabric of America by accomplishing little else than being ridiculous impediments to progress.

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) Itchy, I agree. It pisses me off to no end as well the power that the BRA and other groups similarly comprised of political hacks have. Government at this level as it relates to development should exist soley to ensure that there are some minimum...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development Kent, Agreed. You and I are in somewhat of a chicken and egg discussion here . . . A huge part of the reason confidence in any/all sectors is not rebounding is all of the uncertainty and potential taxation that will fall upon business and business...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development Kent, Regardless of the semantics, my larger point is that the economy, by any definition, would be hard to describe as anything north of fragile. That is why it persists to be difficult for developers (or anybody) to secure funding for just about...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development The recession is not over. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost just last month--when there is normally an uptick in season (holiday) retail sales and commerece in general. Businesses are, at best, cautious and hesitant to expand in any significant amount...

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore, Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) Something is wrong when one assclown (not even an elected official with oversight on such matters) can potentially hold up a project of this magnitude. I hope, for Ned's sake, the developers do not have Mob ties. Just kidding . . . I...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Three cheers for our hard-working union employees! When will enough people realize that unions serve only to perpetuate mediocrity and laziness. They are a major reason many businesses are not competitive in a variety of industries.

Re: Filene's That is a great poster!!! I wonder if it will help illustrate the lunacy behind the notion of the bailouts . . .

Re: Filene's Rifleman, Well-stated. I whole-heartedly agree.

Since 2001 I've lived in Dedham and at least once per week ridden to Wilimington (full time job when not traveling, typically with at least one Commuter rail leg each way, but not always) and once per week to Kendall Square on weekends (part time job). As others have said, the gratification to...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) A lot of unions present at the meeting, huh. Roll out the red carpet for cost overruns and project delays. Unions are the worst.

Re: Patriots Place There are acutally 8 regular season home games for the Patriots, in addition to a couple of pre-season games and a playoff game or two if they qualify. In the spirit of not being a nit-picker, the point is well-made that there are not many football games over the course of...

Re: SOAR! (Parking fees at Logan) A 'carbon fee'. Sigh. I wonder how much more emperical evidence exposing the fraud that is the cooked up scam of man-induced global warming will be necessary to remove it from politics. If Devolve wants an additional revenue stream (as marginal a one as...
