Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 My wife is an Über Liberal, hasn't ever voted for a Republican in her life, dragged me to more Obama fundraisers than I care to remember the first go around, and will be voting for Jill Stein this time around. I am essentially married to a sexy female...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 Enjoy your empty promises while they last. My wife has known Liz for ~30 years and doesn't have many nice things to say outside of ruthless legal maneuvering.

Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's Bloomingdales had been interested in the earlier proposals for the Millennium III lot before the ground floor retail space was eviscerated. That might make them a contented for Filenes.

Re: T construction news The Park Street elevator headhouse now has a copper roof and signage. From the looks of the construction barricades it should be ready for 2013-4.

Marshalls has opened a new location on Brookline Avenue across from the hotel under construction. Driving by it looks about the same size as the one on Boylston was before the expansion over City Sports.

Locke-Ober owner David Ray explains his decision to close. An attitude becoming of a Parisian public toilette attendant, abominable service, and cuisine worthy of a culinary crime scene more-so than a Michelin, doomed this institution to a future reopening as a hipster or hip-hop hellhole.

Folding helmets would be an elegant solution to the problem. However they aren't sold domestically due to not complying with US CPSC standards. No company wants to be a lawsuit magnet because of that.

Look on the bright side. It could have been a Sbarro.

Re: The Apartments at 525 Huntington Ave (Wentworth) Ross in his tenure could have done something about preventing single and two family homes from being subdivided into multiple condos but didn't. The same is true to the subdivision of existing lots and chopping up of 3-4 bedroom units into...

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) In Boston that design would be value engineered into two separate mid-rise buildings.

A better campaign would have been along the lines of "Be safe be SEEN use lights" and "check twice save a life". With photos illustrating cyclists not being very visible without lights in some conditions and how drivers need to check twice because of blind-spots. Helmets are secondary measures...

Mark from Arlington is now posting on Streetsblog? Oh good Lord that isn't going to end well. BPHC has been painting the helmet reminders in various bike lanes around the city as well. It would be nice if they could also leaflet parked cars with "check mirrors twice save a life" reminders.

Re: T construction news The step through frames and range of adjustment of Hubway bikes make them complaint under the guise of 'reasonable accommodation'. The Kiosks and racks comply with ADA/UFAS standards for access to 'controls' and signage (less Braille) as far as I can tell. Though I...

http://allafrica.com/stories/201209170077.html Article on Nigeria trying to get out of corrupt client statism trap which dooms so many perpetually poor nations with rich natural resources.

That would require more than rhetoric during political campaigns, sheltering money and employing unemployable family members in phony charities, and bullshitting people at cocktail parties. Try to build a few more Central Squares around Cambridge, complete with derelicts and dependents, and one...
