I ride by that plaza everyday after work and I never see anybody use it. Why does it have to be such a monumental effort in design? The plaza in Davis Square is simple. A space paved with brick, light tree cover (honey locust) and plenty of benches and small tables. There are always plenty...

I wonder if they'll include seeds for Cannabis Sativus. If there is a global catastrophe, I'm sure it would help

They should put the proceeds from the sale of this parcel, and any parcel for that matter into a public trust or endowment fund. That way, the money is protected and earmarked for the public, and a spending policy may be drafted and ratified by different groups. Also, this windfall could...

What about Fore River Shipyard in Quincy? Is that near a T stop? There is plenty of developable land there, and currently there are plans to begin cleaning up the site and building housing. I know the water taxi docks in the area.

Any renders for this?

Shiz, thanks for your diligence! This is really exciting news, and I too can't wait for November/December to arrive. In terms of iconic structures and monuments, its true that plenty of cities don't have them, others have already listed good examples. Winthrop square does have the potential...

I like those renderings! If balconies are incorporated into the design scheme and not just treated as utilitarian, they can enhance the project. That is somewhere I would like to live.

This Vento guy is a complete jackass. why would he want to surround his business with such negativity? I suppose that tourists visiting from out of the country that don't speak english would be subject to his same rules? He's a racist xenophobe.

This project is catching the attention of some impressive competition. Equity office and Boston Properties have deep pockets. They are the type of people that can get something like this off of the drawing board and into the ground. With the collaboration of neighboring properties, this...

I was in Prague back in 2001. Enchanting place. Some of the best preserved architecture I have ever seen. Prague was lucky enough to elude siege during World War II, as Bohemia was ceded to Germany during the appeasement. Other Baroque capitals such as Dresden were not so lucky. Some pics I...

You've got a lot of good picks. I love the Skatalites. They tour quite frequently and are always a fun show.

Whoa, I'm glad you able to salvage this thread. Great work.

I always like the hazy summertime shots. It helps put things in prospective in terms of distances. That last pic is great.

whoops, my bad

OK wait a minute, I could have sworn it was GMT 5. now its GMT?

For this forum, why is the time set to Greenwich Mean Time plus 5 hours? Would it make more sense to just make it EST (or GMT minus 4 hours)?

I'm very much a nineties guy. I like modern rock and pop rock (don't confuse pop rock with popular rock). Here are some of my favorites: Luna, Yo La Tengo, The Magnetic Fields, Air, Stereolab, Spoon, The Pixies, Pearl Jam, Flaming Lips, Ladytron

I just love the masonry on the Boston Stock Exchange building. Quality stuff.

We need updates on this project, since the former thread is lost. I noticed a nice crane has arrived at the site. There is a great view of the big red bird from my office across the river. If only I had a swank camera.

This is terrific! Notice how a lot of the vacant lots and or ugly parking garages now have development proposals - Winthrop Square, Province St, The Clarendon, Several Chinatown developments, and now the Aquarium parking garage. Next all we need is the Gov't Center garage to come down...
