Dorchester Ave being a public right of way that is also very much off-limits federal property sums up the so-close-yet-so-far vibes of that area perfectly. Every time I'm sitting at a red light at Summer and Dorchester I see that road and think "oh that looks like it could go somewhere cool." Alas.

Saw a Storrowing in action today! No visible impact damage but the outbound lanes were blocked and the truck was facing the wrong direction. I passed these along to adamg at Universal Hub and he responded immediately so you should see these over there too. I'd have to rate this a 6.5 out of 10...

Another roof deck, this time from 300 Commercial Street in the North End

Yes, pretty much! It's a standalone structure from 2008, so it missed its chance to get bedecked and bejeweled in all sorts of overstuffed frippery :p

Shot a condo on the edge of Roxbury Friday. A nice appealing ground level space except for the fact it's just this one room AND all the wastewater pipes from the upper floors are right there along the ceiling, so you hear every sink/shower/toilet doing its thing :poop: The full set...

Friday

Gonna try something a little different. I decided to look back at my photos from exactly 10 years ago and realized it might be a bit fun to recall some of the construction happening back around August-September 2014. Given how the pace of development has only ballooned in the intervening years...

Last day, let's start off with one of my favorite pieces of postmodernism, Helmut Jahn's 500 West Madison It's weird but I think it falls into the "good weird" category Then we made our way to Oak Park and its Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District And finally we're back...

And just to add to the ambience, basically every day had a "feels like" temperature hovering somewhere around 110 degrees...... 95-ish air temp with loads of good ol' Midwest humidity 🥵 Felt like 114 at this point 🙃 All it took was 30 minutes to go from sun to...

Time for the "standard city photos"

Parked on I-93 yesterday

Heyyyyy I also flew in Wednesday but the flight path and side of the plane I was sitting on didn't quite allow for closeups South Station Tower doing its best job to completely disappear from this angle Also yesterday from Malden

Weird Science might be in my top five "movies that have aged the worst," sad to say. For so many reasons I won't belabor here it just doesn't hold up to modern viewing. Also I wanted to go to the schools they used to shoot The Breakfast Club/Ferris Bueller/Uncle Buck/Home Alone but they're all...

Found one of the two people interested in this!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Next up is Uncle Buck and the Russell family house Next we go back to downtown Winnetka. As a reminder, the Home Alone Santa scene was filmed there, and it also was used for an Uncle Buck scene where he's trying to retrieve his niece Tia As well as one shot from Ferris Bueller's...

(I hate the 20 photos per post limit) Fast forward to the scene where he goes to Santa's home, shot in downtown Winnetka Last from Home Alone, we can't forget about that beautiful and imposing church Next up is Planes, Trains & Automobiles, a personal favorite but for...
