Re: Nashua Street Residences (North Station) Can't wait for the NIMBY backlash, which in this case would be the inmates at the jail.

So its too tall, but not big enough to be a catalyst. Ok so completely dismiss the vocal minority's input and proceed.

This is a new development right off of Brookline St 5 blocks off of Mass Ave, right next to a Sound Museum I used to practice at. By gw1980 at 2012-08-25 By gw1980 at 2012-08-25 By gw1980 at 2012-08-25 This is also in the same area, might just be gutting the building, but maybe more. By...

To me, unless your a young kid who lives near by on a hot day, it's not a destination, but a place in-between destinations. Where as parks like the Common, Esplanade, Castle Island, and Charles River in Allston are.

It's cool, I like it, and if it is a Muslim, there is nothing wrong with that. Looks like it's maybe a sweater around his head (I see a sleeve hanging down his neck), so maybe it's one of those technical gotchas, but if you paint an image to really look like a Muslim headscarf then just own it...

It's possible down the road, there are plenty of properties that could get redeveloped. Not sure if the sliver of residents who demand what can happen would allow it though.

I've heard a trashy girl call Billerica 'Rica. And I believe Salem is Witch City.

Yea it's a totally different feel on Western Ave. Not perfect but much more presence.

I agree, it's a finesse thing, that should be applied wisely. Most of the West End should have never been torn down. But in urban renewal's defense, Boston had a lot of shitiness to it back then, Quincy Market, North End, Southie, South End all had issues, although the cheaper rent must have...

I agree that parts (possibly a majority) of urban renewal was bad, but not all of it. The Hancock and Pru (the defining images of Boston/ last time Boston built NY caliber buildings) were part of that as well. There are some things to take from that. And it should be said that while the old...

88.9 is cool most of the time, but I believe on saturdays it is accapella, and not the cool black kind, the dorky white kind (except Carmen San Diego). edit: It still kind of lives www.wfnx.com , but something tells me most of the DJ's will be looking else where.

Yea, it sucked, a lot actually, when WBCN went away, but you had WFNX, now you have neither. Well you do have WAAF which decided to do a right wing politics butt rock combo.

Thanks Packards Corner was always off my beaten path, I'll check it out some time.

^^ What other roast beef joints are in the area?

I'll miss All Asia, its a stepping stone almost every Boston musician has played at. Once we played a tuesday show there at 11:00 in from of like 15 people (10 were the fellow musicians) and after our show came a very talented musician blowing in from out of town. His name Drew De Four (check...

I don't think that's realistic, tell Stoneham and Reading they can't get on 95 from Main st. They'd fight that one down in a heart beat.

Not really 128 widening per se, but couldn't find anywhere else to put it. Also won't be funded for 14 more years so don't get excited. http://homenewshere.com/middlesex_east/article_e55f7c2c-d0f4-11e1-9754-0019bb2963f4.html...
