^^ That is probably sadly accurate. I wonder how much capital came into Boston in the late 1800's simply because we suddenly had a supply of 'modern', handsome stone buildings? Does that capital go elsewhere if we never lost our historic downtown?

Mentioned in another thread: What if the Great Boston Fire of 1872 never happened?

I know I'm in a very small minority here, but I actually enjoyed the Boston Winter Market on CHP. I know it was a joke compared to European markets, but I thought maybe, after a few years of trial and error, it could have turned into something decent. But for now it seems dead (at least, I...

Yeah, I wouldn't care who produces it, just as long as it is documentary style, not personality/contest based.

Not to be confused with the Newbry.

3 guesses, 1st two don't count.

I would watch the hell out of a "This Old House" style (NOT HGTV) show about large scale public works projects.

OK, looks like it it resolved but just a little awkward. Basically it will show 10 pages with 20 posts per page and when you get to the 10th page, a small "See Older Posts" button appears in the lower corner to get next 10 pages and so on. I would assume that is to save the server to have to...

True. If there is one thing we could never do in these modern times is build a giant tunnel in the city.

I just realized that they took their design cue from the architectural masterpiece that is the TD Garden.

I wish the T had a direct bus -> subway connection like Pittsburgh does! :(

We have Swan Boats for godsakes, I don't know how much more "fun" you people could want.

Well, we know that's not happening. :(

Agreed. I wish I had thought of it back in the day, but I should have asked the poster what he thought of the North End back then and what he thought of it today. Alas...

So this took me forever to find. It was originally posted on the old (now sadly gone) Skyscraperguy forum but thankfully ablarc copied it in a post over at Cyburbia. I'm not saying it is the definitive opinion of the West End pre-renewal, just another perspective.

I was going through ablarc's old posts but for some reason I can only pull up about 60 or so of his 3000+ posts. I get three pages of results and on the third page I get a "View Older Results" button but it brings me to a "No results found." error page. Edit: Definitely something funky going on...
