If you wanted to be really amazing, you could put a rendering below each project that has one. And if you wanted to go overboard, the link to the discussion thread, so that people don't duplicate anything.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Thanks for the Philly skyscraper plug, Cojapo. I think it?s a beauty and I?m glad to have it here, but there?s a lot of ugly around it too. Anyway, here?s hoping that Trans National Place gets built, and that it?s better than the renderings...

Re: Rose Kennedy Greenway Honestly, you shouldn't be embarrassed to bring people from out of town on the T; some of my best memories of Boston are riding the subway while visiting my aunt and uncle. I would spend the summer there and take the train to work in the morning to the first Job I...

Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop Hi, I'm from Philly. I've been checking out this forum because I'm considering moving to Boston. We had a similar situation here on the corner of Rittenhouse Park in Philadelphia (in case any of you have been here or have heard of...
