The easiest way around the Globe's subscription popup is to copy and paste the link into an incognito window.

That bid re-release was a lot better than expected, with handball being the only sport really being dragged out into the wild west. Frankly it isn't all that different from what we got in the first place. I still don't really see what kind of transportation legacy is being envisioned, and am...

It's very disappointing that Boston 2024 is pushing events outside of the Boston area and I think it's pretty clear at this point that there is no thought whatsoever being put into planning a legacy for a Boston Olympics, the promise of a legacy was used as a selling point rather than being the...

Don't know how Boston can hope to compete with these European bids. Boston has been chosen for about half a year now and there is no signs of any sort of true Olympic legacy. I suppose that the new plan could surprise but I have my doubts.

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge I totally support a 1000 foot building here. Kendall Square and North Point are both allowed that height by the FAA, so why not utilize it? For a time, the building might look lonesome but eventually more buildings will rise to match them as...

There is no reason why those events can't go someplace else. Boston Calling can go to the Common, the Circus can go back to South Boston, etc.

Fallout 4 is set in Boston, confirmed.

The Coolidge is going to be showing some films this summer on the Greenway, on the Wharf District Park. They'll be showing American Graffiti, The Birds, and E.T.

Oh my god please stop calling this place Midtown. is there any indication of whether or not this is the current plan or a plan that has been proposed to government in the past? Because if it is the latter then they could be eyeing Suffolk Downs by now.

They should hang some art up on that segment.

Wait, how much money did late night service need again? Didn't the MBTA scale back service to 2:00am to save $4 million?

I could probably stomach a one time, emergency fare hike in this instance; however, removing all barriers to raising fares is incredibly irresponsible. I do not want to experience eight years of runaway fare hikes because the Governor can't be bothered to implement open roll tolling or implement...

I would rather have housing now than in nine years though. The Bayside Expo center is going down regardless of an Olympics and if that land is reserved for an Athletes' Village then that's a huge piece of land that can't house anyone in the interim. I don't see how the Olympics is really going...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium I figure that if Kraft builds a soccer stadium there that is would be used in and help any Olympics. As for those buildings, I'm sure that they are there to illustrate possible redevelopment opportunities and the Boston Olympics people don't have...

It is nice to start a conversation about a riverbank Blue Line extension if only because it would put the idea on the state's radar so that it can be done in 50 years or so instead of never.

Although a plateau-skyline is disappointing, what really matters is what happens at the ground level. You can have a successful neighborhood with a uniform height and a successful city with a uniform height if you take a look at Washington. What is going to sink the Seaport (long before climate...

Re: Dr. Beverly Scott resigns Which I would argue is essential to fixing American government systems.

There is a lot of questionable things going on with these renders. First, all parking lots in this area of the city are covered up by green space even though I find it unlikely that Gillette or Castle Island are giving up their parking lots. That makes it hard to gauge what exactly in this...

I suppose because South Bay is farther away from any rapid transit stops. Although Widett Circle does have imposing barriers between it and South Boston it is reasonably close to both Broadway and Andrew Square and the separation that currently exists could be alleviated by the decking plan...

If you haven't looked over the bid documents here is a snapshot of what the temporary venues would look like on Boston Common and the Public Garden. So uh, whats happening to the Earl of Sandwhich??? Also I wonder why those venue boundaries include the Frog Pond and the hill.
