I’m originally from the South Coast and following the local reaction to the project has been fun. Among other silly concerns, people seem to believe that SCR will simultaneously bring in “undesirables” who will ruin FR/NB with drugs AND lure in all of the wealthy people from Boston who will...

I flew out of E earlier in October and it was staffed (lightly) and a few people were passing through but it looked like just crew and airport workers. I don't know if anyone else could use it. All passengers were still using the old checkpoint, including TSA Precheck. There was no obvious...

I realize this is a few weeks old, but I'm just seeing it for the first time. I live in Eastie (near Maverick) and almost always walk to/from the terminal when I fly (which is fairly often). Most of the time it's A, but I also travel out of E pretty frequently too. If I'm flying out of E (or C)...

You're right, I doubt anyone would be connecting at BOS for AMS/CDG/FCO. But It would be another one-stop option to DUB, EDI, TLV, ATH, LIS, etc. And I don't know that London wouldn't still be appealing as a 1-stop via BOS. AM flies the route 1x daily departing at 10:30pm and arriving mid/late...

I don't think that's "tin foil hat" territory at all. From a PR standpoint is it better to open earlier and have speed restrictions for a few days, or is it better to keep it closed longer and open without speed restrictions? The first several high-profile shut downs followed the former...

That schedule - woof. I would have thought the BOS arrival would have been scheduled to facilitate some Europe connections on Delta. Apparently not. And I'm surprised that they're going to park the plane overnight at BOS. At least the arrival in MEX should work for Latin America connections.

This ad started showing up in my social feed. I can’t find the flight loaded anywhere and I haven’t seen an announcement. Anyone know something I don’t? I know Air India - Boston has long been rumored. *edit* I’m getting them for Mumbai too. Maybe they’re just Air India ads rather than route...

I really hope they can make this work. Things have changed since their last attempt at BOS. They've upgraded their fleet (particularly with 737 MAX 8s and 9s which are idea for this route), and Delta has really established BOS as a hub. MEX makes a solid hub for Central/South American...

Well, that's the point. But you can't switch at Haymarket right now because the station is closed. The Green Line isn't running between Government Center and North Station. So if you want to go from, say, Magoun Square to Heath Brigham Circle, you've got to get off at North Station and switch to...

Some people don't really have a choice if they're going a ways from the core. But I had to run an errand to REI at CX the other day and opted to just stay on the OL and walk from Community College rather than switch at North Station to an Eastbound GL train. Considering the GL headways ("7-9...

Yikes. Architecturally it's an improvement, but the lack of residential is problematic. How is that even possible? And while I understand the current buildings underutilize valuable urban space, I've always had a fondness for that Properzi Way/Tyler St. corner. It's surprisingly active in spite...

One thing I've been impressed with recently is the custom announcements on the big screens. That's real-city stuff (rather than the garbled, unintelligible audio announcements). While Haymarket has been closed for the garage demo, there have been big "This train is skipping Haymarket - Next...

^I'm hardly surprised. As much as I want to be in the "MOAR!!!!" camp, we had a glut of service last winter. There are still a lot of options between the two cities. This sentence had me perplexed: " Shifting to lower gauge equipment and reducing flights will mean better pricing and loads in...

I don't think the crowd noise would be too problematic for residents. If those buildings were all residential, the closest would be over 900 feet away from the stadium. For comparison that's similar to the distance between Fenway Park and Timeout Market, the Kenmore MBTA station, and Queensbury...

I don't do it nearly as much as our forum regulars, but I've been asked why I'm photographing [insert building/project here] a number of times over the years. As a student, I learned a lot about my rights as a photographer (private, shooting for fun) by taking pictures of buildings, being...

Smoke Shop in Eastie has their license (this is from last week).

I've been several times in the past few years and this has been my experience as well. Great bones, somehow still down and out feeling in spite of decades of pretty significant investment. We actually looked at a couple of really nice condos there during the pandemic (prices were favorable until...

This building won't win awards, but the render (of the rear of the building) they went with above is pretty terrible. It actually has a human-scaled street level which adds new street wall. The mechanical "stuff" on the ground to the left of the building is actually already there, as are the...

A couple of New Bedford updates. The building slated for 117 Union St. finally broke ground this week. It'll be great improvement to that corner. On the other side of the coin, UMass Dartmouth is leaving downtown's Star Store. On one hand, it's hard to see the prominent structure remaining...

The Beverly Beer Mile is a beer lover's dream.
