You might remember the developer had no confidence in the Ink Block and just built the initial building on the old Boston Herald foundation to save money. Of course the development was a big hit and construction was ramped up after that.

Because the House Speaker represents Revere and Winthrop, the location of Suffolk Downs.

Except for the race horse money, this is similar to the general budget expenditures. In most states that approved gambling, the money was set aside for a specific purpose. In Pennsylvania, the money is used to reduce property taxes. Each homeowners' property tax bill has a line reducing their...

Having worked in the Hurley, it's a disaster. The internal walls are also hammered concrete and people are constantly ripping their clothes on them. Also, I don't understand keeping the Lindemann. It is actually more offsetting and imposing then the Hurley. The main entrance is down a narrow...

I vote hate.

See the following from mass.gov slides. With the US DOL involved, this could get interesting. The US Department of Labor funded the initial construction and site acquisition of the Hurley Building, and still has a significant amount of equity in the site. • As required by federal rules, the...

This was supposed to be a biotech center - instead its a big warehouse with thousands of trucks/vans zipping in and out. What a let down! And the jobs pay max $15/hr.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to see people shooting up drugs and defecating on the streets. Most of these people are mentally ill and should be in care facilities, not allowed to loiter on the streets and bother people trying to work and lead their lives.

The Boston hotel market is so strong that I have no doubt the Sheraton, Marriott , Westin, etc. would be fine without the Hynes. Hotel operators like the Hynes because its easier to reserve a big block of hotel rooms for a group rather than sell each room separately. It makes more sense to...

The Star Market in the Hub on Causeway is hiring now, looks like a fall opening.

Why was the power plant built nearest to the river, rather than tucked in the back?

I hope they require the Developer to fully replace the hotel rooms lost from the Hotel Indigo. It's not a great hotel, but the near suburbs desperately need hotel rooms. Waltham is putting up a few more (Marriot x2 and Hampton Inn), but there is a dramatic shortage in this area specifically.

Actually, it was to keep the homeless people from falling down the openings into the garage below after one too many cocktails or whatever.

There are tons of (empty) Encore busses driving around Everett and the surrounding area all the time. It looks like they are practicing. They definitely will have a big fleet when it opens.

You've apparently never been to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. Most of the patrons are senior citizens who come on buses with free meal and play vouchers. The mega rich only come on Friday and Saturday nights. Casinos rely on middle income people to survive. This applies to the Wynn Las Vegas, the...

When I went by yesterday, Site 5B (Puma), 7A and/or 7B and 8 appeared to have active construction. Any updates on 7A, 7B and 8?
