    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    As a nearly daily visitor to urbantoronto.ca, I can attest that if archBoston can evolve into a site with similar content and forum management, this could turn out to be quite the positive development.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    To rehash my point from a couple of days ago, but here is the video that was shown at the groundbreaking ceremony in October. At 3:30, you can clearly see the “scaled down” iteration of the great hall. I stand by my earlier comment that this change in the great hall was already vetted and...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I’m fairly certain that when the groundbreaking occurred this fall, the scaled down rendering of the “great hall” was already being used. From my perspective, the BPDA already reviewed and approved this iteration of the hall. This would have happened at the same time the building itself - and...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Anybody at all surprised we haven't heard anything about an office tenant on this yet? Given Millennium's MO, I would have figured we'd have some sort of announcement or at least strongly sourced news article about the pending signing of a blue chip tenant.

    Is this the menu you were looking at? I pulled it off their mobile Website. http://www.winthroparms.com/Admin/Documents/Dinner.pdf Their old menu used to be about as large as a Robert Caro biography.

    The owner’s son has taken over day-to-day restaurant operations in the last year and has been steadily making tweaks to hopefully make the place a bit more appealing to a younger crowd (think mid 30s/early 40s) while retaining their more steady older clientele. I can’t speak to the farm to...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    At the risk of getting into the weeds....based on Millennium's history, do we know if the 691-feet for Winthrop Square is the true top or could the mechanical push it over 700?

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Based on the renders, there should have been some LED marquee/ribbon boards along the left side of the atrium or in later renders, over the main entrance to the Garden. Did you see any clues as to them being installed in the future, or do you think they might have been VE'd out? The atrium -...

    Clippership Wharf | East Boston

    When I was on the waterfront a few weeks ago, this market looked like it was poised to open and based on this Website, the opening will ocurr next Wednesday. This is on the ground floor of the Portside at Pier One building and anchors the corner of the building at the corner of Marginal and...

    Emerson College - Little Building Addition + Renovation | 80 Boylston St | Downtown

    They haven't. During festival season, they will periodically shut down a small portion of St Catherine's street from Bleury Street to St. Laurent around Place Des Artes. But it is not permanent. They will also shut down the St. Catherines Street in the Gay Village during the summer months...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Just walked past the site on the way into the Garden for today’s Bruins game. I can confirm stairs have been/are being installed and looked to be about 80 percent complete. Can also confirm that metal sheathing has mostly been removed from the ceiling of the atrium, revealing a glass roof with...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Related/unrelated....are there any surviving pictures of the "Old Garden" 1928 to 1995 Commuter Rail Waiting Room at North Station? I've scoured the Internet over the years trying to find pictures of this space, but haven't had any luck. Having moved to Boston in the mid-2000s, long after the...

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    The main entrance foyer off of Causeway Street seems like a really obvious spot. As an added feature, maybe they could tie it to the existing scoreboard systems in the arena and show time and scores in real time?

    Well, let me see if I can be of help. Of course, not everyone will fall in love with certain place. FWIW, I feel the same way about Chicago that you do about Montreal. Love is a visceral thing that is hard to explain sometimes :-) To be honest, my husband and I made our first trip to Montreal...
