    Boston Tram Network

    Blue Hill Ave to Columbia Road, up Boston Street through Andrew Square to Dorchester Street, continuing along the Reserve Channel to Summer Street, up the Green Way to North Washington and over the Charlestown Bridge, right on Chelsea Street and ending near the new Spaulding building with option...

    Boston Marathon Bombings Thread

    Re: Open Thread Actually turned out to be Grandpa noticing the tarp on his boat was ripped, walking over, climbing up and looking inside the boat and seeing him there. At which point the fearsome terrorist did nothing but lay there motionless. Yet we're supposed to believe that minutes later he...

    Marathon Monument

    I think an addition to the current Boston Marathon Memorial would be appropriate as well. It should also recognize victims of all such violence. I saw a report from Syria recently where people are so used to bombings, shootings, and rocket attacks, that they no longer flinch at gun fire and...

    Liberty Mutual Tower | 157 Berkeley Street | Back Bay

    Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion It ruins the skyline view from the south. Of course if it were thinner and taller, that would've helped, but this is Boston. What can you?

    🔷 Open Thread

    That's like something straight out of Portlandia. I don't know where to put this film of Gloucester from 1955, so I'm putting it here.

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high If there is any "soul" in these buildings, it was almost all in the facades. Whether Filene's is facadectomy or not, it's not like it was a Wanamaker's inside.

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high Buildings are things. They don't have souls. Facades are exactly that, facades.

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    Foundations are going in where those buildings collapsed on Chelsea St near Maverick Sq and they're making me nervous. They are set way back from the street. It looks like they're putting in some puny little suburban style townhouses.

    The Kensington | 665 Washington Street | Downtown

    Re: Residences at Kensington London is the capital, largest, wealthiest and most dominate city in the UK by a wide margin. Boston is maybe the 8th or 9th most important city in the US.

    Harbor Islands

    The boat ride is part of the fun, but they should bring back the big old slow ferry. I stopped going out there because I hate being crammed on the little high speed ferry with wind blasting in my face. I used to go out there and just lounge around on the ramparts on Georges Island. It is so...

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    Blue Line Extension for Central Square in East boston, Chelsea, Revere and on to Lynn. I am well aware it would never happen. Ever. It is just something I fantasize about when NextBus say the next 116/117 bus is 50 minutes away. Tunnel branching off after Maverick under Meridian Street, all...

    Best Photo Vote (CHOOSE 3)

    I'm really surprised my picture is there. Thanks! The film was expired a little bit, so that's why it is so grainy. I didn't vote for my own picture because there's so many good ones here. It was hard to narrow down.
