Re: Congress Street Garage Development Uhhh...it's been my distinct impression since moving out here a few years ago that the exact opposite is true. SF always seems to outdo Boston in every conceivable way. A few things that immediately come to mind: 1. Jass posted a picture of Mission Bay...

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street ^ To be fair, she's in favor of the project. For a Back Bay NIMBY, that's halfway to supporting Manhattanization outright. But srsly, there is nothing elegant about this project. Better than a parking garage, though.

lol, don't worry about it if it's too sketchy. You're already the hero of this board.
