I'm glad someone has the same opinion on the greenway as me. Walking it feels like exactly that, as if I'm walking along a highway median.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett We once had a national politics thread. It was a dumpster fire. What it told me though most people here agree with each other politically. I only counted one traditional conservative and two trumpsters. Ty wasn't one of those. Anyways all I was saying was I...

We need to make sure that modular thing in Allston gets at least a nomination for worst. Overpriced, awful location, built around a billboard, and moderately ugly. They could have demonstrated that modular can be good, instead they made an overpriced monster.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett I'm more hoping for steve Wynn losing his personal wealth and having to sell off shares of his business so I can enjoy the product being offered without the guilt of my money going to the guy. I do not like the man or the role he's playing in politics but I...

At least y'all can pee standing up.

Re: Parcel Q1 | 10 Drydock Ave. | Seaport Would conversion to light rail allow higher speeds as I suspect?

The government can't offer high enough pay for top notch tech workers... Directly employed. That's why they hire contractors. Bypasses the government pay scale. For anyone who thinks government contracts are for saving money. No. I know lots of people with specialized skills who leave govt and...

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport I have not once seen him use the term "gobsmacking" (for some reason it really bothers me in how excessively it is used on curbed Boston) Also I'm glad this hasn't changed too much from when they first proposed...

Re: Parcel Q1 | 10 Drydock Ave. | Seaport You mean like converting it to light rail maybe? I just don't get the idea of bus not-rapid transit. I mean, it's a big bus mostly segregated from regular traffic. With no other advantages other than that, and it's not even 100% segregated from regular...

This isn't exactly a location where I expected something particularly exciting. If they stick with their original plan for quantity of residential units I'd think this development was a good thing even if the buildings were outright ugly.

Naw, Boston cream donuts won't hurt nearly as much as unopened beer cans.

So I originally posted this in the hq2 thread but realized how far off topic it was so I'll put it here instead: I'm not into sportsball at all but if Vikings fans are too polite to get even with the eagles fans at the superbowl, I hope the patriots fans get good and drunk and buy Boston cream...

Maybe it's shaped for creative shadow avoidance?

The majority of the office space contained within phase 1 was already leased a few months back. It wouldn't surprise me if they found a tenant for the tower itself.

Nonono never united, and not from EWR. NEVER AGAIN.

I've flown SATA. Their fleet was horribly unreliable due to age. The flights I was on were not exactly packed. They don't have jetbridges at PDL and the airport facilities are tiny. Its a better sized plane for their primary airport. Now if only they could invest in a freighter or two so they...

To be fair, Portsmouth is at the far edge of the Boston CSA/MSA and many people do commute to Boston from here, and is thus technically a suburb of Boston while at the same time having its own small freestanding economy. However, downtown Portsmouth is very dense and isn't suburban in the sprawl...

Fyi I just hate suburbs. It's personal taste. Hence why I also don't like major cities with lots of sprawl.

That short list isn't very short. So if I was a tech worker, places i wouldn't want to live on that list: indianapolis, dc suburbs, columbus, dallas, los angeles.
