Re: 10 Fan Pier Blvd | Fan Pier Parcel E | Seaport They figured the storm surge flooding was good enough. Also a relevant username.

Yeah, I think it's the rounded corners and non-straight lines of the Adobe that makes it look disney-esque. But it's quite "real". I really want to go someday. How is the public transportation? Can you get around without a car? One thing I've hated about the western cities is how car-centric...

I'm not familiar with Zuma, but I'm a big fan of Izakaya style restaurants.

Typically would mean the politics and actual laws. Is a bit of a culture shock for northeasterners.

They have 6 sq mi. I was thinking Hong Kong kind of desperate.

I'm really glad beeline has captured and immortalized "WE RAGE"
