It moved here, in the former Al Capone's, a few years back. Not so little anymore, not so big either. Good pint.

The Littlest Bar is a Bulfinch designed building, right?

You are forgetting the true tourist draw for shoppers; The Wrentham Outlets. Announcements are now in Japanese over the speakers. I'm sure I would have heard Chinese if I wasn't in and out so fast. I have had aunts and their friends come from Ireland and skip DTX because of the closure of...

Right. That is what happened in Halifax. They could not expand the building, so they just shrunk the amount of space available for the offerings inside. A Supercenter is a Wal Mart with 45,000 to 60,000 SF of food inside. There can be food inside smaller locations, though they tend not to...

A Wal-Mart Supercenter is 198,000 SF. It is a Supercenter when it has food. By comparison a Home Depot / Lowe's is 135,000 SF, with another 30,000 SF for a garden center.

114,700 SF is a regular Wal-Mart store, not a Supercenter. Wal-Mart may be making this a prototype store with smaller layout of offerings with groceries like was done in Halifax. This site was also rumored to be a Market Basket site. This site is fine for what it is. All is needed is a...

OMG - Route 1 will lose its special small town New England character with this national chain moving into such sacred space.

Re: Boston Herald property sold The former Teradyne Building is well over 100 years old. It is on its third skin.

I used to live on Thomas Park, the highest point in SB, and I couldn't see water either. I could see where the water was, but I couldn't see any blue (or gray either, it was the mid-90's.)

Re: Alexandra Hotel The daffy amount of non-market rate housing vesus market rate focused from Mass. Ave south towards Jim Rice Field isn't helping either.

That is the former Garden Building, now known as Le Jardain. It is 250 Boylston Street, though the tax bills for the property used to say 29 Providence Street, and 29 was painted on the Providence Street / Park Plaza door. I worked in this building from junior year of high school in 1985 until...

I drive the Expressway three to four times a week. I'm either going to Boston or to NH, Maine, Merrimack Valley, etc. The HOV does not work. It only causes headaches by slowing everyone down at the DYC in the morning and at the Split in the afternoon. Cars with RI plates crossing three lanes...

I have a map of the Fenway from the 1930's that shows a Muddy River Conduit under Brookline Avenue running up from the Sears Building towards Kenmore. Also, the MWRA has a library at their operations center / garage off of Eastern Avenue in Chelsea. Most of the material is their service area...

JohnAKeith - I think you are right. This is the site of the Carlton House. There was a fire on this site in 1981 or 1982. One or two firefighters died in the fire. One of the firefighters was named Paul Lentini and was based out of the firehouse on Huntington Ave. by Wentworth. There is a...

This is great thinking but all cities like all houses need a broom closet. Boston has its kitchens (New Market and Chelsea), its furnace (Everett), Bookshelves (Cambridge and Brighton and others), etc. Cities need placed for the other stuff as well. This part of Charlestown provides it...

Ooops. I didn't mean to do it that way. However, now that I think about it some people are going to get the best time they can pay for at the Hynes since General Public played there in late 1984 or early 1985.

At least the hookers who work the bar will have more room to spread out a bit.

That MBTA building is one of my favorite buildings in the city. A great early 90's renovation to an ugly 60's duckling. The Purcahse street facade is like some small hilltop Tuscan city palazzo where you can stand on the top and pour hot oil down on invaders. I got to go inside the control...

It is the Carpenter's Center. (Not the Karen and Richard place, that should be in Downey CA). There are postings on this somewhere. I think on the I-93 thread. This building is the old Catholic Hospitals laundry, later Dirigo Spice location as Dorchester Ave crosses the expressway. Also...

I think the BRA owns it and leases it out for that best use of waterfront land, Parking!!!.
