Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Ron, Now I am not a particluarly large person (~5'7" ,~185 lbs) and I've ridden by the Hancock a million times and will admit that it can be breezy there . . . but I've never felt like I was about to be blown off my bike, nor have I ever felt like I...

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower My knowledge of all things celestial is not very strong, but with the sun lower in the sky in the winter, wouldn't shadows be more transient? Also, in the winter, it is colder anyway, so the shadow on top of it is not going to cause people to not...

Fair question. I'll provide several reasons, just off the cuff: 1. Substantially more viable options for travel. 2. Substantially more nonstop itinerarires. 3. The ability to fly on carriers that do not herd passengers onto their equipment and have 1st class cabins. 4. Logan is...

As a business traveler who flies over 250 times per year (for the last 8 years), I would sooner walk to wherever I needed to go than fly out of green or manchester.

Re: Russia Wharf The structural steel is really starting to sprout out above street level at this site. The facades of the preserved structures obscure this, but things are definitely going on 'above ground'.

Re: 45 Province St Boston, Funny picture!! I am sure GW would be unimpressed ;->!

I think you meant to type 'our' children. Yes, change is coming, hopefully not in the form of a headlong plunge in socialism.

Re: Russia Wharf Good to see this is emerging from the below-ground levels! This will be a fun building to watch go up, especially from the airport area.

Re: W Hotel Yes, officially known as the much-maligned 'South Bay Center'.

Ablarc, Thanx for the link. In reading through it, most of it seemed reasonable, at least in a theoretical sense. In the actual case of 128 being widened, I do not think there is much fear of it encouraging additional development (as most of the area is fairly well built out already) and...

Re: Farmer's market at Dewey Sq. Not sure how much 10 million would shave off of the 128 widening. What I do know is that for that last 8 years, I have had to drive from Dedham to Wilmington and back, on average, about once every other week during the early phases of rush hour (departing...

Re: W Hotel Yes, me, too. It's dimensions (along the broad side) are quite squat. If I recall correctly, it is about 225' wide on that side and about 300' tall. Mathematically (assuming my algebra is correct) that would be like the Hancock being almost 600' wide.

LR, My apologies. I have been a complete slacker with taking pictures of this and Westwood Station--I live 1.5 miles and 3.5 miles away, respectively, from each. The Westwood station project, while behind Legacy Place in terms of the conspicuous construction progess, is a massive area (I...

Re: W Hotel Or, in my case, I forsee 7 tee times between Thursday and Sunday of this week at Owl's Nest! Gotta love a mini-vacation!!!

There has been substantial progress over the last several week with many of the structures on this site. Tilt walls have gone up all over the place and an awful lot of structural steel has been erected recently.

I agree Ron. Between once and four times per week, I walk the Greenway between South Station and Aquarium. The fountain by the Aquarium is a pleasant spectacle. Further, the light blades and spikes are pleasing to look at in the evening. Taken collectively over the last several months, I...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos As a guy who, for the better part of the last 8 years, has often commuted from Dedham to Wilmington via bike and one or two legs of commuter rail (S. Station from Dedham/Hyde Park and/or N. Station to Wilmington)--at least once per week as my job...

Weren't those ministry buildings in '1984' over 900 feet tall? That would be even better!

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 And I damn-sure won't miss what manny had become . . . how is it possible to miss such an unprofessional, selfish child who so blatantly disgregarded the best interests of his team? Good riddance.

The demo of the old corporate offices for showcase (co-located on the site with the old cinema) is well underway, if not already complete. Would have gotten some shots this weekend but the beach and golf course were calling Saturday and today was a bit too inclement. They have also started...
