This afternoon before the snow rolled in.

That Sphere thing freaks me the hell out. There's something unsettling about being surrounded by a screen that big. I don't really get vertigo, but something about the Omni Theater at the Museum of Science is already vaguely unsettling to me, so seeing a similar thing at such an inhuman scale is...

The full proposal: https://www.emeraldnecklace.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Report-A-Public-Park-Concept-for-White-Stadium.pdf From said proposal: [citation needed] I find it interesting that even their renders show the existing main grandstand being about half full even after renovation...

Arborway upgrade plans! Looks like these would benefit drivers as well as pedestrians and cyclists - I would much rather have to sit at a light than deal with Murray Circle. https://www.universalhub.com/2025/dcr-unwraps-latest-plans-arborway-would-turn

Between this and the West End Library, the BPL could use some actual branding.

Those Paneras are brutal even during the week midday. Not helped by the every-other-one reconstruction of each rest stop on 90 in NY. Hopefully when they all get finished it lessens the crowding at all of them.

So forgive me for now being a suburbanite who has no idea about this - but how does the high school system in the city work now? Excel was still just Southie High when I was that age, and as I went to BLS I never really thought about the place. But when they closed it down to turn it into Excel...

How long had that aquarium been closed?

Because I always approached getting on the highway there from Southie and never Dorchester, I never noticed that you can't take a left from Columbia eastbound to get on 93N. I agree, that would be a major reduction in cars going to the rotary if they could pull it off.

Looks like they might still have a couple of rows of seats to install in that section.

My parents were mourning the loss of the IHOP when I saw them earlier this week. Pancakes aside, this is a huge win for that area. Don't know why it needs such a honker of a garage, but it's much needed infill. That entire section of Quincy is going to be unrecognizable in a few years.

My wife and I wanted to not be home for our first Christmas without our son, so we headed down to Key West for the week. Duval Street is where most of the action is, and while it's full of people the entire mile it's also home to a whole truckload of schlock. There are a few nice places along it...

I guess that house in Somerville is a blank canvas, at least? The 1999 NHL poster is cool.

Something I've noticed comparing your map to the official one is how the inclusion of the additional CR stops to the north and west causes everything else to be squished and less legible on first glance. Especially since both the CR and rapid lines are using the same size typeface. I think...

It's immediately adjacent to a couple of other dealerships, so it's not completely out of place. I'm actually super impressed by this, it's a neat way of repurposing the existing building and good advertising for both Toyota and Chambers to boot. Toyota seems to have a few of these huge...

"Quality vs. Quantity" is definitely a thing when it comes to zoos, museums and like. Roger Williams has two really stunning areas - the elephant/giraffe indoor gallery and the tropical rainforest building - and that makes up for it's lack of overall size. The other thing it does really well is...

That would look so much better if the brickwork went all the way up.

It's like a Flood-infected form of the church.

Is all that on the Common in the lower right of the photo just for the tree lighting ceremony? Looks like they might be filming something.

I've had the thought that the Jacobs would be good buyers for the Celtics, if only for that reason. I'm sure Celtics fans would flip out but it's not like the Bruins issues have been their doing in the salary cap era. I do think Boston is somewhat under-arena'd compared to other similar markets...
