and yet, it's unprofitable and the plant is being subsidized at the moment because of grid reliability issues. Which is the real point- it is now cheaper to get that energy from another source because this plant is not competitive. It's just that the replacement capacity doesn't exist yet. I...

meanwhile, the building be like "I don't care if you think I'm sexy, I'm here to get business done."

It's pretty much the first time I've seen orange being used tastefully- it's usually a half assed attempt to blend in with brick and terra cotta.

You know, I don't know how wise it is for a developer to build more commercial in Boston right now, especially to appease NIMBYs. There's demand for it now but there's an imbalance between commercial and residential and an expected downturn will likely hit commercial space much harder. There's...

Probably because of the water table. Having to constantly pump out water to prevent people's cars from being submerged in water seems less than ideal.

This is why you never stand underneath a load... What's with the crane/rigging accidents???

What exactly is the inherent design flaw with these that make them prone to this? Is it something that can't be modified adequately to mitigate the risk?

I can't access this place from work anymore, it loads as a blank page with just the archboston banner. Something is not jiving with the security settings and I think it's the ads. Oh well. But can someone check to make sure they aren't doing something really invasive? My work computer does that...

You'd rather they wrote in complete sentences? I.7.8 (bar; left of the door); 8162: We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus. I.10.4 (exterior of the House of Menander); 8304: Satura was here on September 3rd V.3.9 (House of Cosmus...

People have been scrawling messages on objects since ancient times. Honestly, if you look up what they found in Pompeii modern graffiti is usually pretty polite in comparison : http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm Also "graffiti" found written in old norse...

I think the ads are the reason I can't view this site from work anymore...

Odurandina's idea of what the wealthy do with their money is very much a poor man's idea of what the wealthy do with their money. I'm also pretty sure if he has money he spends it all on blow and then comes on here, explaining his sometimes bizarre rants and height fetishism.

Whoa, he's alive!

This. It represents a lot of things that make my skin crawl. It also wastes water in dry states, and is a complete waste of land in a place like this.

Is there a non-profit out there that simply pays for the fares of those who struggle to make ends meet? You know, help people out and help the mbta patch it's budget holes at the same time?

I wasn't actually dissing the rooms. It actually has some appeal to me, I'm just saying they're keeping prices down by using space efficiently.

I think you need to do some research on what the citizenM brand is and how big the rooms are. The prices are on the high end for rooms the size of walk-in closets.

Because the "English" word is literally a word adopted from French in relatively recent history with an anglicized spelling. It's not a word that existed in earlier forms of English. We for the increased amount of units, I wonder if they ended up going for a different branding?

Won't everyone be surprised when 2030 rolls around and electrified heavy rail is still the most effective way of moving people around in urban environments? Hopefully we won't still have to be whining about chronic under-investment at that point because historically all this speculation in...
