I feel like more people need to see this picture that somebody in China made

The apartments on the Benjamin website say "available now." Does anyone know when the movie theater is opening?

Maybe the portions are smaller because it's a healthy eating option? If you eat 3000 calories of vegan food a day you are still going to be a fat ass. What food made up those calories doesn't make much of a difference.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the ugly parking structure next to it isn't ripped down and incorporated into it.

What's weird to me from a safety perspective is that the FAA specifically tells you not to check spare lithium ion batteries because of the risk of fire. You can check installed batteries, but the same sort of risk is there, the FAA just seems to have higher confidence in permanently installed...

Re: Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown Google recently updated their streetview and this spot has a great progression of shots from 2007 to now. You go from old Filenes building to hole in the ground with a shell, destruction of the old façade, construction, and...

This picture from the project website shows the view from canal looking towards that plaza . It even has a curb in the foreground of the picture, perhaps thinking of the pedestrianization of canal street?

When I walked by Sunday the building on Congress that Quaker wraps around was completely gutted on the inside. As in you could see straight through to the other side of the building because the interior, including the floors had been completely torn out. It looked very much like a facadectomy...
