    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    This project will be a environmental nightmare for Somerville residents, so obviously Curatone will be against it. Oh, he'll get money from it.... disregard.

    The New Retail Thread

    Framingham restaurant is a franchise. "Clinton native Mark Parker is returning to his family’s roots of serving the local MetroWest communities but this time as the franchise/owner of Framingham’s first Chick-fil-A restaurant."...

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    Huh, in 2012 (the last published stats available), there were 32 boardings at Yawkey out of 12,787 boardings total for the Framingham/Worcester line, which is 2/10 of 1%. While the numbers have certainly increased with the new station since 2012, the number of overall Framingham/Worcester...

    Boston Landing | New Balance Complex | Brighton

    Whenever the T adds a commuter rail station, they add it to the schedule of every express commuter rail train. When they completed Yawkey, they added Yawkey to the schedules of express Natick, Framingham and Worcester trains. Just because they add a spanking new station, doesn't mean it should...

    Looks like an limited service hotel (Marriott Fairfield/Res Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, etc.) on four floors, based on the presence of a breakfast room and no restaurant.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett For people making $8-15 per hour, a job is one year is no job. Curatone is preventing his citizens from getting relatively high paying jobs now (in the service industry, casino jobs are sought after), for what? Maybe a few million dollars, which will go...

    The New Retail Thread

    Burger King may not be your cup of tea, but this is a very busy restaurant - especially with customers who can't afford to drop $10+ on lunch (and yes, they are not all homeless people). Zo's, while good, is very pricey for lunch unless you are a 1%er.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End In the morning, they have 3 or 4 Transit Police trying to direct the hordes across Causeway. This has really interfered with the traffic on Causeway and the streets off Causeway!

    Mandarin Oriental | 776 Boylston St | Back Bay

    As a lawyer, I can tell you it does not matter what realtors or the media says. Only thing that matters is what the condo documents say-they are the final written agreement between the buyer and seller and every court in Massachusetts will hold both parties to that agreement. And, without...

    Mandarin Oriental | 776 Boylston St | Back Bay

    Usually condos at hotels are carefully named to avoid being called condos at ... (regardless of how they are popularly referred). Their deeds usually guarantee luxury hotel service, but not a particular hotel brand. The Mandarin lawyers surely anticipated this issue and carefully drafted the...

    Mandarin Oriental | 776 Boylston St | Back Bay

    I was aware of that, but I don't think a Conrad or WA should be mentioned in the same sentence as a Mandarin Oriental. Ruth's Chris and McDonalds both serve beef, but are they the same?

    [ARCHIVED] Harbor Garage Redevelopment | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Harbor Towers has their HVAC equipment in the garage, so it is a permanent easement. Chiofaro has offered to build a new building on HT property to house the equipment. Regardless of the year, Chiofaro needs to deal with the HT people.

    [ARCHIVED] Harbor Garage Redevelopment | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    The developers of Government Center Garage are proposing to do exactly the same thing. They are leaving a portion of the garage and building towers around it. Chiofaro could do the same if Marty Walsh had some imagination.

    [ARCHIVED] Harbor Garage Redevelopment | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Sorry, but the HT people have MONEY, which is what talks in politics. They vote with their cash much more than people do in JP, WR, etc.
