Is that the bridge shown in "Finest Kind" the movie?

I just noticed another VERY small area for improvement. The Hingham ferry terminal is shown on the bay between E. Weymouth and W. Hingham. In actuality, I believe it would be located on the bay between W. Hingham and Nantasket Jct. Looking on the Google Map, I can see where the ferry...

You should submit that map to them. It's SO MUCH better than the official MBTA map.

The MBTA needs to hire a real designer like Henry Beck. :)

I like the forward direction and positive tone of the Commonwealth article, but it kind of frustrates me a bit. Reading the article, it sounds like the MBTA and Keolis came up with the brilliant plan for a more all-day regional rail schedule on their own as a brilliant new idea to combat COVID...

No, but that's a good thought! As others have said, it's a connection city with limited airline options/competition so they can charge premium prices.

That word is used WAY TOO much in the Globe!!!!! Don't they own a thesaurus? If I had a nickel for every time they mentioned "soaring" then I would be a very rich person!

I just want to know: Why does a simple flight to Omaha cost more than a flight to London? LOL I was thinking of heading back to Nebraska in May, and it's SO EXPENSIVE. I even checked Kansas City and Denver as options. The Midwest is a destination desert from Boston Logan.

I don't think people were complaining about natural light for the outside platform area. Multiple people had mentioned that now the existing interior Concourse is going to be dark. I don't think that small gap between the old and new structures was going to provide any natural light. At...

Thanks! I was just quickly thinking of communities that only had 1 station near their border. You are totally correct, I forgot about Assembly. (It wasn't around when I lived in Somerville.) I wasn't trying to equate the heavy rail with light rail as the same service level. I suppose a...

It's so GREEN. Just like Singapore!

Totally! Plus, I believe the plan is to eventually have the Type 9 Green Line vehicles run on the Mattapan High Speed Line. In my humble opinion, saying Milton doesn't meet the requirements of a rapid transit community is just an insane argument. Yes, the line runs on the far northern edge...

Do you have a cheat sheet for Carrier codes and destination airports? I know some airport codes without looking, but TVC & YOW, as an example, I would have to Google.

Well, Coppersmith was pretty cool, and it had a nice roof deck. I hope this means that maybe somebody will preserve it rather than demolish everything.

FWIW, I work with architects all over the world. I've visited the NYC office of RAMSA multiple times, and they do nice work! I also think the quality of materials will be quite high.

I just hope we get retail storefronts all along Boylston and Arlington as shown in the renderings. From the street pedestrian perspective, it could be an improvement. However, it's such a loss of interesting architecture, and especially the corner building.

I went there in July last summer, and I really enjoyed it. Yes, it's expensive, but I think it's worth it.

With the lab market these days, I wonder if Cronin still plans the 3 lab buildings next to the Dry Dock?

I love to see towers too, but the urban densification with more residential is far more important. I agree.

That's an awesome list! Of all of those, I was here for the Sasaki Copley Square design, the Orange Line elevated, and the Orson Welles theatre.
