Big Lower Manhattan/NY Financial District vibes in the first few photos, if I'm being honest. Great shots! I haven't been able to see this (or really anything downtown) since COVID... looking forward to getting down there again soon.

A touch outside of your range (it's on the border with Boston) but Brothers & Sisters Cafe in Brookline Village has great coffee and sandwiches.

A little bit of contrast never hurt anybody. I wouldn't advocate for a city filled with One Congresses but I feel the building's presence will enrich the city's diverse architectural history. At the very least, it is better than what it is replacing.

Possibly the sharpest angle this tower has, if only because the midrise "bustle" is obscured. Nice shot!

This is really exciting. IMO Brassica managing the Doyle's space is about as good of an outcome as you can get, short of the original owners coming back. And the grocery store is a huge win for the immediate area. I hope this gets approved ASAP.

These honestly look great. Also, if you zoom in you can get a little preview of what the expansion will look like on the system map.

Let's see... Airport, Wood Island, Orient Heights, Suffolk Downs, and Wonderland for Blue. I'm unsure about the Orange... Oak Grove seems to most likely but I have not been in some time. Clueless on Red.

I found this photo by @Boston02124 to be really superb.

Yes, it's the lobby of City Hall. It's full-height and tucked in the back from the main entrance. There's an elevated section of the lobby underneath and it's actually a pleasant place to sit, if a little loud... any speaking in the lobby gets bounced around and seemingly amplified.

It's incredible to me that there's no street connections proposed between the site and Harbor Point. Pedestrian paths are good but the efficiencies of directly connecting the two areas by even a single road seem obvious

Boston has a small but delightful legacy of cast-iron architecture with only 5 or so structures remaining. Of these, I find the North End's McLauthlin Building at 120 Fulton Street the most beautiful and the most deserving of special recognition.

I'd like to nominate the empty corner lot at Huntington and Frawley (804-810 Huntington Avenue): https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3332555,-71.1080548,3a,75y,189.03h,96.06t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sht-DJ7SiFz3uj0P9wctq3g!2e0!5s20190801T000000!7i16384!8i8192

Are we looking at the same buildings? These aren't apocalyptically bad... merely mediocre.

It's probably the actual water table, given the site's depth below Boylston and the area's wetland past. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a semi-permanent feature once upon a time.

Can confirm as my office's communications person...given the context, I would never answer a question like this without checking in at the highest levels.

Happy to clean that up for you! I don't normally do this for free but I really love this photo. Hard to believe how much this area has changed in my lifetime. (I'm 27.)

Unexpected 3-car set of Type 9s running on the D this morning. Taken at Brookline Village.

The Langham used the same bright red as an accent. I doubt it's a purposeful homage but they will play together nicely if/when the red comes back following the hotel's renovation. Image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langham_Hotel_Boston

Obviously a moot point in the seaport, but a little more height would've really allowed this design a chance to shine.

I'll grab some photos the next time I'm there!
