    They are not using it in the new building, the danger is from what was left behind from previous buildings.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I may have been wrong about that, but some reason I thought I had read that due to the wider doors they have room for fewer seats. It seemed like there were fewer seats, but I am open to correction on that.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I got the new train this morning! Thoughts: The new plastic seats seem 'slippery' compared to the old cloth seats, but they have oddly great lumbar support. The doors chimes that I was worried about are far less annoying than I thought. I was able to tune them out by the second stop. As someone...

    Mmmm... Pizza (Discuss Your Favorite Slice)

    Are we not mentioning Regina's because it's generally understood to be the best pizza in Boston or are we doing the hipster, nose-in-air, "Askually, Regina's is very over-rated" thing? I'll admit the the chain pizza isn't as good as the original location stuff but it's still a lot better than...

    Center Plaza Renovation | Center Plaza | Government Center

    Fingers crossed that the new owners don't believe in 'sunk cost fallacy' and won't hesitate to completely redevelop the building.

    "Although we are all excited about the new trains going into revenue service we want to remind our riders that while we have done extensive testing on these new trains, certain performance issues may require us to remove the new sets for extended periods of time." Maybe they did put out a...

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Since this happens every time, you would think that that the folks at the T were fully aware of the high probability of this happening and perhaps should have held back a bit on hyping the arrival of the new trains.

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

    I agree that it is mostly nonsense security theater but I think they are more worried a Billy Bob getting pissed at them liberals in Cambridge, Massachusetts curtailing his FREEDOM by telling him he can't drive his coal-rolling F-250 faster than 65 on highways. Afterall, there is a bit of...

    Harriet Tubman House | 566 Columbus Avenue | South End

    What I don't uderstand is where are they going to move that is cheaper than land they already own? How much of that sale money is just going to be sunk back into land acquisition or lease payments? If they want to be anywhere near where they are now, I would guess the answer would be 'most' (if...

    Tax dollars should only be spent on bland, boring and purely utilitarian things. Everything else is "waste".

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    In my heart of hearts I want the 'Steel Truss' design but I'll admit that the Double Arch is the best design of the three. The third option is the Dollar Tree choice.
