Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower I'm pretty sure the original protesters also wanted things to stay the way they were before the BRA demolished their neighborhood in favor of a parking garage.

Er...yeah, Nagasaki is in extreme southwest Japan, basically swimming distance from the Korean peninsula, while the tsunami wreaked havoc on the northeast. About as different as you can get for such a small nation. Those "arches" are called torii, the most ubiquitous and recognizable...

A different type of bike rotary on Stanford's campus. This picture shows how proper etiquette can be self-enforced.

Can someone explain how Whiglander came to be called 'Westy' by many members of the forum? Is there some cultural reference I'm not getting? I thought I was around when he first showed up a few years back.

He's talking about organs.

Hint: this is not San Francisco

Dude you're the most epic poster. I was worried you'd stopped taking pics!!! Glad to see you're back.

Re: South Boston Seaport Psh, San Antonio-by-the-sea... heh

Uh, was standing in line at a bank in Coolidge Corner and didn't notice a thing.

Streetview actually has the first building. Ugly innit?

Uh...so, like, I just drove down Lagrange St in that border region between Brookline, Newton, and West Roxbury and was shocked to find that a row of SFHs had been replaced by a group of maybe five three- and four-story multifamily dwellings. It's not exactly urban, but it does prove that change...

Walked by 9-23 Griggs today... was shocked to find tons of construction activity going on! No traces of the old auto repair garage left. Lots of large dirt piles being pushed around. Anyone seen a rendering of the 5-story apt that's supposed to go up here?

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 Who wants to bet on which is completed first: 1) Green Line to Tufts, or 2) Westside heavy rail to UCLA ?

Re: Bulfinch triangle It's located across the street from a sports arena. You know. Victory and that.

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 lulz. At least this will give me a few extra minutes each week when I'm not naively checking the Green line STEP and MGNA websites for nonexistent new updates...

So, I had a hunch this project (see page 3) might have finally got going. Sure enough... ^ from the architects website. No idea how recent that crappy construction pic is. Of course there's a gigantic setback full of green things. NoBro is like LA...all these dense apartment buildings...
