Also, I imagine facilities like these are needed for large metro regions. And I imagine having them close to waterways is a preferred location.

I remember waslking that bridge to work in 2007 watching them build that hill. It was originally formed with large blocks that looked like foam, but must have been some type of concrete or plastic maybe. And then a layer of soil, maybe some rocks too. Either way it’s come a long way from the...

Here's a good video, that starts out with a bit of back history and then does a nice fly by of work so far, well as of May 2021

Is it a 200 meter lap?

Great Photos! I always wanted to see this roof do it’s thing during a summer thunderstorm, it must be gushing!

Great photos to start the Greenway! Some of those trees have really taken root! Looking forward to the rest! Really the plant maturity is what I’m enjoying to see in this , it helps the parks out a good deal. That being said I will probably always feel this park system is good for those who...

That be great, you have a good eye!

I live in Texas now, so I’m a useless member here, can’t post any pics. I really appreciate everyone who uploads pics. It’s been a while since someone has done an extensive thread of the entire Greenway. All good if no one does, but that would be awesome to see!

You know when you think about it, Boston really is a city that has all these different angles and perspectives. Yea to fully notice it you have to be fairly familiar with its profile. But Houston, ATL, LA, and many more look fairly similar from any angle. Boston between it’s T shaped skyline...

I use to cross that bridge from BHCC back in ‘07. It was bitter and windswept in the winter. I imagine the noise from the highway and rail must be significantly reduced these days.

Lived right there from 2008 - 2012, and god do I miss it, and Boston, and the North East.... And it was getting built, originally, when I first moved in. It was masive, like three or four cranes, for a super stump. Then Great Recession hit and it was stalled. They brought the garage up to...

“Sitting at a red light”..... any one else singing that to some ‘Tull?

I asked in another Fan Pier project years ago, do theses basements areas have extra robust sump systems. The engineers have to know that this will all fill up with water a few times during bad storms.

And suddenly thanks to Poolio I like it. And it’s because he beautifully put it in context. He brought the art out of this neighborhood.

^^ In regards to that last pic, Vegas in Boston amuse me. PS and that end of Everett and everything near it is ( or was) so fuckin Boston, at least by old school standards.

The new entrance to this area from Everett st seems to magically do away with the different grades of the down ramp of Everett st bridge and the short Everett st branch that runs parallel to it.

You know a nice stone ledge transitioning from the brick to the top material would go a long way into turning the tides on this one.

Does this building also have a vacuum system that just sucks the shit out of your ass, instead of having designated toilet space?

So is this study saying Mass is 29 th out of 50 in higher ed? If so then I highly question this ranking. There’s no way Mass is not in top 5 let alone bottom half.

It’s more than the city that has a housing crisis. It’s the whole damn metro region. IMO is the main cause of it is all the close suburbs along 95 unwilling to transform into a denser, more urban comunity. Medford was once more like Woburn density, now The Woburn and Stonehams need to be...
