    Holocaust Museum Boston | 125 Tremont Street | Downtown

    ^Agreed, great post, reminds me of one of the old-schoolers "Ablarc". He often posted years ago on this forum (or perhaps the predecessor forum to archboston). His posts contained detailed history and info and were always so informative.

    Globe article about downtown Boston, vacancy issues, etc. Some interesting points in the article: - there are "90 to 100 empty storefronts scattered throughout the BID area [Downtown Crossing business improvement district] — three to four times as many as before COVID. That does not include...

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    The park in CX with the landscaped berms and water feature reminds me of my hometown's downtown centerpiece park Gene Leahy Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, street view here - https://goo.gl/maps/sgPYRh78gdmYd6Am8. Incidentally, the park in Omaha was completely redeveloped in 2022 to be completely at...

    Take Back The Streets (...and alleys)

    Looks like very little to no outdoor dining in the North End this summer: https://www.wcvb.com/article/boston-massachusetts-outdoor-dining-2023-north-end-changes/42943929 Further, "the permanent program requires businesses to submit professionally engineered site plans for outdoor dining...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    I work nearby. From my layman's eye there is always some activity going on but I am unable to discern any substantial progress in the demo, including but not limited to this past week. On a side note, a bunch of construction workers from this project were smoking pot in front of my building...

    Take Back The Streets (...and alleys)

    If I'm not mistaken, in both of these unfortunate accidents the car drove off the roadway and up onto the sidewalk. In light of the fact that the city has never demanded jersey barriers to protect people walking on a sidewalk it's seems like an over reaction under the circumstances.

    Take Back The Streets (...and alleys)

    More difficulties for outdoor dining (not just for the North End) New changes for this year: "a 22-page packet of city guidelines that lays out the measures restaurants must abide by if they want outdoor seating, including several new additions this year. Those range from mandatory automobile...

    The New Office/Lab Thread

    My 2 cents, many average middle aged Joes who have a family, extensive professional contacts/relationships, who have been schlepping in from the suburbs via transit or fighting traffic for years are probably enjoying the work from home flexibility for the time being. That being said, as a middle...

    COVID-19 in Boston

    I'm not expecting much of an impact. There will be covid clusters within college student communities for which by and large covid is low risk. There will be a subsection of young people who will engage in covid high risk behavior on the weekends, social gatherings, drinking, mask off, lack of...

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    My thoughts as well - the trusses appear much too spindly.

    I think there was outdoor dining/drinking in front of Sweetwater Tavern. Also in the 1990s there was a lunch place opposite of Sweetwater that would set out outdoor tables and chairs on a more temporary basis.
