    Photo of the Day, Boston Style: Part XIX (2025)

    The vehicles do a good job of aging the photos. I remember when they were new and now they look quaint.

    Kendall Common Parcel C3 (née Volpe Center) | 75 Broadway | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    It’s amusing that they recently built a new headquarters at 225 Binney after they had decamped to the burbs. I guess every CEO needs to have “their” headquarters…

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    I’m going to guess Bridgeport, CT

    East Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    The former Dunks at the corner of Third and Monsignor O’Brien is gone. This is slated to be a handful of residential units.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Thanks. I was confused because I thought it had already been built. I was wondering if it was the partially built one at Washington and Knowlton.

    What was the prior proposal for 103 Washington?

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    I think a larger impact on localized demand would come from harmonizing schools across the state. If educational outcomes were not so closely tied to where a family lived, there wouldn’t be such demand hotspots.

    Little known fact: Breaking Bad was loosely based on the adventures of a rogue BERy manager.

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    I just noticed the shocked expression on the tower, and I can’t un-see it.

    I-90 Interchange Improvement Project & West Station | Allston

    Back in the Kerasiotes era, I recall him saying “no decking without us getting paid” in response to a question about why they don’t proactively deck the Pike.

    Assembly Square Block 9 | 375 Harold Cohen Way | Somerville

    Wait… they replaced the short stack of books with an Everett mono-block?

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    125 Cambridgepark keeping the 80s ribbon window vibe alive.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    The street level with the grilles over the flat windows and the minimal articulation is awful. It reads as dated from the 80s.

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    That is an owner rebuilding, not a developer. They wanted a larger space, and they wanted it to be a passive house, so demo and rebuild was the way.

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    Pre-fab single family going up on Jackson Street.

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    Interesting note: They had to carefully extract the compound from the joints between the concrete panels on the penthouse. It was probably stuffed with asbestos.

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

    The store only carried a limited selection of REI’s products, so it was annoying to shop. The building also has a weird isolation because parcel Q2 is still vacant.

    Boston Children’s Hospital | 380 1st ave | Needham

    Oof… that’s a depressing bunker. It’s like the Public Safety Answering Center in the Bronx, except it doesn’t have the public safety program requirements enforcing its design choices.
