Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop Is it possible that the empty space is still under lease thereby satisfying the owner?

Toss the wretched twin Harbor Towers into your scheme as well.

Do you have kids and if so, do you travel with them? Off the top of my head, we've rode them in Seattle, London, Vienna, Chicago, DC, LA (santa monica), Dallas. Sure it's a tourist trap, but it's a cheap one and, at least for me, other than doing an on-off double decker bus, it is a great and...

I don't know which is uglier, the existing or the proposed.

Indeed it is. "We need more housing"...."Just not near my place" pretty much sums it up.

Reading between the lines, it looks like post-acquisition redundancy measures, i.e. getting rid of the deadwood.

Re: Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End Ah, just saw that..... I agree. Eww is right.

Re: One Congress | West End It's possible too that their other lease contained pricing options that were way too expensive and the landlord wouldn't budge. A company I worked for was in a similar situation with a long term lease with locked renewal rates for a large entity we acquired. It was...

Similar to Phillips moving to Cambridge from Andover.

You'd probably be dumping most of that traffic onto Memorial Drive.

In looking at who this thoery benefits, this is spot on. All this talk of "frivolous" trips is SJW / Agenda 21 BS, IMO. Sane people do not foray onto Storrow or the Pike simply to go cruising around. More often than not, there is direct economic purpose of their trip - whether to work (benefit...

The cynic in me says this is really a thinly veiled foray into the world of targeted lending helping their own cause: "Microsoft officials say it’s too early to say exactly how much affordable housing will ultimately result from the $500 million." Developers have to make a profit, we'll see...

Just because an organization did something great 40 years ago doesn't mean it is still doing great things today.

It probably could of and it would have made sense for NB. NB isn't a huge player in terms of market share for soccer equipment, they are much more of niche brand so it would have been great for them to have a stadium on their campus. However, Adidas sponsors the Revs and who knows what that...

Discerning tourists typically prefer uniqueness and authenticity rather than run of the mill chains, no?

Pike Place in Seattle comes to mind for me. Lots of cool / funky shops & local vendors. Only big corporate brand in sight is the original Starbucks across the street.

As an aside, does anyone know long is that exhibit of old neon up for? It's been awhile since I'v been down there. That photo brings backed memories - loved State Line Potato Chips :)

Re: North-South Rail Link Exactly. Living patterns are very cyclical. And if large city public schools don't shape up, the flight to burbs will re-occur when the younger generation has kids unless they are fortunate enough to be able to afford private schools.

Here is the vote by town: https://www.bostonglobe.com/elections/2016/MA/Question/4%20-%20Legalize%20Marijuana You can compare it to the list above. Quick glance shows the list is mostly but those that did vote No, but I do notice that Concord, Wilmington and Holliston voted Yes.

Maybe so, but that is not the lesson here. They pulled in "influencers" who basically tell others what they need and what's hot and what's not. All it takes is an endorsement by those types and your sales follow. For people into that sort of thing, they go to great lengths to be on the leading...
