There are quite a few holes in the street wall along Dudley street by Nubian Square that make Dudley st feel very disconnected from the Square. I think something next to Hibernian Hall would really help work to make it feel like a continuous business district.

Hopefully this second floor addition turns out better: Above Tonys Market at 4381 Washington Street

everytime I went to Machine there was a distinct puke smell lol.

I think there will still be a road diet for right there. Based on the renders the entrance to the road will be made smaller, and some more road will be taken up by the sidewalk/landscaping. That said, I'll wait till I see it happen for real.

Pretty far along now.

At first glance this looks like a bad development for Rozzie, but it does partner with the local businesses and the retail sizes are small and will fit the neighborhood. I like it!

I graduated from Bridgewater State in 2018..

I don't think their issues with those dorms wasn't that they didn't have their own private gym, exclusive views etc. Its probably that they are in such a state of disrepair. I'm not suggesting NU doesn't build any new dorms.

Because you could have many more students if you didn't use 1/3 of the space towards luxury amenities that these buildings contain. I went to BSU and our dorms did not have anything close to the space and amenities that these dorms have. Also, very expensive dorms ATTRACTs very rich students...

I think there are valid arguments lobbied at this development though. Northeastern continues to use these luxury dorms as recruitment strategies vs. actually creating new dorms. Net new dorms for this large development is not that many, and we know the cost per bed for students is...

yes exactly, the rest of the development is phase 3 after this.

10 Taber Im liking the massing on this. The renovated Roxbury Branch of BPL is sort of open now and the plaza is so pretty!

Second phase is moving along quickly

732 South Street (Wallpaper City) Nice to see Rozzie Sq. get its upper floors back.

This will be great activation of this lot. As it currently sits, the parking lot is underutilized due to poor visibility--it looks very closed off (and private looking) and you have to enter around the back. Its rarely close to full use. Also, there are a shit ton of new housing units in...

I don't necessarily buy this argument. I think even while there is 'more acceptance', that hasn't led to fewer gays going to queer specific venues. Not to be overly anecdotal but I'm a young gay and most of my gay friends I know still (pre-pandemic) go to gay bars more frequently than het-bars...

I wouldn't say no waiting...especially at this location. Drivers in roundabouts often feel weary of stopping, even to let pedestrians go, so for pedestrians I think roundabouts tend to be worse at this size. You end up having to force yourself into the street to force a car to stop. As far as...

There's a section in this report on office space in Rox-Dot/Nubian Sq.: http://tamcc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Nubian-Square-Market-Analysis_Full-Report.pdf

Yeah exactly, also I don't think there were many proposals to choose from tbh.

Yeah there is definitely not too little parking in Nubian. I walk by the Blair Lot almost every day and its never close to full.
