I understand your point Jumbo, but toby and shmessy have reiterated my points. We are not talking about putting a residential tower near the Eiffel Tower and destroying the image from afar. You can’t even see Fenway unless you are close to it, although you may be able to see the Coke Bottles of...

San Diego: Cleveland:

Go to San Diego or Cleveland. Those buildings are right on top of the stadiums. And yes, the Sox have a ton of power in this town and will derail this project and everyone knows it.

That's because the argument has no merit.

Other ballparks don't seem to have issues that "concern" the Sox:

Charlie, No access to Route 30 from 128 South?

Exactly. It's a ludicrous requirement. The lot should be grandfathered. I hope Chiofaro lets the eyesore rot and jacks up the prices at the same time. As far as I'm concerned, if that's what you want, that's what you get.

Re: Landmark Center Expansion | Fenway I saw that too when I was shopping there. Surprising since it was fully approved at least 6 months ago and I wouldn't think it would take that long to retro-fit an existing structure.

You are correct. However, this is a perfect spot for a residential tower of this size. It fronts the Pike and rail lines for damn sake. Instead it's going to be derailed by a fellow billionaire sports team owner who doesn't want to impact his views from his ballpark which is used 81 times a...

I'm pretty sure I am older than you. However, as one of the few around here that thinks that the innerbelt and southwest expressway absolutely should have been built, I have no issue with change for the greater good. And keeping the buildings in Kenmore a couple of stories tall for the sake of...

Fuck that, it's a stupid corporate sign of a greedy oil company controlled by a corrupt dictator. The love affair with that sign is baffling, especially after the optics changed when it went LED.

You are never going to see high density development of any significant scale occur in Needham.

This is a difficult assignment. It would probably be easier to rank them 1-100. Most 1. Simmons Hall 2. Dreyfus Building 3. Eastgate (I know its coming down) 4. Green Building 5. Baker House 6. Landou Building 7. One Broadway 8. Hermann Building Least 1. Great Dome 2. Messiah Hall 3. Maclauren...

Think short, dense and ugly. Just like the vast majority of their campus. I may be in minority here, but I think this selection was the absolute worst case scenario to see anything of note or landmark status built here.

My only point is that bridges are expensive. And you already have Recreation Rd and Riverside Rd at least functional. If a private developer wants to fund it, I'm all for it. If Mass DOT funds it, from a taxpayer perspective, I don't get the point as it appears unnecessary. We have plenty of...

Re: Hotel Tower | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square No doubt, does anyone know if they are apartment or condos? Or even student housing? Also, that parking lot across the street should go as well.

Why did you kill the Park Rd bridge? I do see the alternative path to the east, but that would require a new span over the pike which seems unnecessarily expensive. Park rd is also major cut through between Route 30 and Route 16 / Newton-Wellesley line.

Canton sued the developers over traffic concerns and although the case was dismissed a few times over procedural matters the delay, combined with the market crash led to the glorified strip mall disaster of today...

Yes, right at the end of CR it should be superdense. I like the illuminated sign. Having recently driven through Hyde Park, it really seems as though time stood still there, circa mid 70s. And not to go down the height rat-hole here, but really lady? 8 stories is Oh my God territory???? "In...

What a shame that it appears they are only preserving the columned entry way to this magnificent building. People in this town have certainly freaked out about far less..
