Worst case scenario = nothing happens. And forgive my pessimism, but I doubt anything will- this project seems vastly more intricate than Columbus Center, and look at how much trouble that's having. But certainly the name "South Bay" is bad, because there already is a South Bay. Gateway...

Agreed. The neighborhood seems to me to be holding its character well, and it would be a shame to lose that. ...I sometimes think maybe all or parts of Newbury street could make the same move. Newbury's wider and traffic's one-way. As is cars are well-advised to take Comm Ave instead of...

Re: ... This is what should happen to all one story commercial/retail buildings in the area. And there are plenty of them scattered around town. Architecturally, I think the building looks pretty nice. It's as tall as they could easily get away with, and matches its neighbors while not...

A lot of the other Mandarin Orientals around the world aren't that interesting, but the one in Hyde Park, London sure is: An uninteresting example is Miami:

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you on this one. The entire Waterfront should be lined with 1,000 foot towers that have artful holes in the top for the planes to go through.

Although if NABB had its way, God wouldn't have been allowed to build any other planet besides Earth. No moon either, because of all the shadows created from those cursed eclipses. This is an historic planet we've got here, and someone's got to preserve its character! NIMSS: Not In My Solar...

^ Something tells me that the Harbor Towers residents are not anxious to have even more construction in their neighborhood than already proposed by Chiofaro and then get told to move out of their units into new ones. From page 1 (Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 10:57 am)

^ Condo towers vs. commercial towers: In terms of lifespan, should there be any difference? (Why?) Certainly condo towers can be split up among many more owners than commercial towers, which would complicate things as you say. ...I vaguely recall something about statewide height limits for...

This issue is completely warped by these racist Minuteman types, who should be volunteering at English as a Second Language programs instead of stalking the border with shotguns as if they were protecting the purity of the American people. Yes, the Minutemen are the extremist minority, but this...

A 23 minute 1940 film described as: Download it free (it's public domain) from http://www.archive.org/details/ToNewHor1940 The film's pretty awesome, not for what it proposes but for how well it represents the propaganda that made built America the car-centric "place" it is today. A personal...

When I, say, go for a burrito at some random place in East Boston, I know full well that there could be language issues between me and whoever's taking my order. I've done this several times, and their English has always been plenty good enough. But I'd be OK with it either way. I don't have...

This is high quality. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/13/zidane_headbutt_outrage/

Notice how the Minutemen bumper sticker says "Defending America's Border" not "Defending America's Borders". ...As much as I find having a common language useful, I prefer America as a language-neutral nation, and similarly a religion-neutral nation, based if anything on common ideals.

I don't know if this is related to the detour-causing track repairs that article mentioned, but there's a nice little crew of workers out on the tracks just inbound from the MFA right now. They've got wooden boards and shovels and appear to be digging under the tracks to put the new boards in...

Great zoo? More housing? I think they might be listening to you... link

Well this is interesting. I didn't realize just how rich our history of corruption was. link

Not. Over. Yet. link
