    Boston's high-tech scene

    ^ Except Facebook has decided to open its massive new engineering office in... NYC. I'm guessing whatever 'Zuck' said was taken completely out of context by the homer Boston media. UrbEx - note that it's not comparing Boston to Silicon Valley. It's comparing Boston to SF and the entire Bay...

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower ^ Ah, I interpreted LD's "Expansion" as the expansion of Neiman Marcus in particular...leading me to read your post in a different light.

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower @KentXie - I'm 100% for this project (natch), but I'm sorry... whether or not this particular luxury condo tower gets built or not has no serious bearing on Boston's future. At the very least, invoking Detroit is just as hyperbolic as Newdick's own...

    Urban Farming in Boston

    Who said anything about a conspiracy? Comparing the North End to, say, Dorchester is disingenuous. You can walk to the Whole Foods on Cambridge St from the North End. Depending on where you are in Dorchester, you could end up taking an hour on the bus each way to the nearest Stop & Shop. Not to...

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    ^^ Ok, well now this will probably get moved, but in my view, the bald claim that "money doesn't belong in politics" is more radical than the 1%/99% rallying cry. Money in politics is/was originally intended to give challengers a fighting chance against incumbents, i.e. to grease the wheels of...

    The New Retail Thread

    1. "me me me" yet demanding more taxes to benefit people other than "me"? 2. And the Occupy crowd doesn't have major beef with Obama???? You need more liberal friends. And why do you think people don't buy anything in the first place? Because the WiFi is FREE!! If Starbucks was as bothered as...

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Right, Shirley Kressel and Mel King haven't made anything of themselves... Anyway, once you retire, you can spend all your free time rattling off pro development diatribes at public meetings.
