Closer to home, Clippership Wharf did a great job of building housing on an old pier while also improving public access to the waterfront. They added public docking, a kayak launch, multiple restaurant spaces, seating, grassy areas for lounging, etc. Something similar in Charlestown would be a...

Interesting - I came via the tunnel under Memorial and it looked like it was not possible to get over to Track 15 without going up the stairs to Memorial and walking around. Was the section of fence removed intentionally, or did a piece just fall? To me, it looked like they could have just slid...

Credit, debit, or digital wallets. They need to clarify the policy a bit, I think. This is what it says on the website: Cash is not accepted at the kitchens or bar; however, you can purchase a Track 15 gift card at the bar, for use anywhere inside track 15. We accept all major credit & debit...

I went yesterday before Session 1 and really liked most of what I saw. I'm with you, I think it's going to really rely on people coming in before events. If they were able to offer and advertise free parking for 1/2 hour, they might actually get a decent amount of takeout traffic. And I really...

That makes sense. It’s mostly outposts of well known restaurants elsewhere in the state, so it seems like a consolidation of the “best of” type places. We’ll see if that works long term. I’m going for lunch before the first tournament session at the AMP today. Looking forward to trying some of...

Just MVY and ACK. No Boston (yet) or JFK.

This took me a second (I forgot it used to be an active station for a moment) haha. I walk close to it on my way home. I didn't stop in yesterday, but I'm definitely going to check it out tomorrow.

I might swing through after I get off the train this afternoon. Otherwise I'll be there Thursday at the latest. I've talked to a few people who went to the soft opening and said it was excellent (though apparently the bar was overwhelmed with drink orders).

$32 Million New Bedford Whaling Museum Expansion set to start this spring. The new building will replace the one story building and surface lot on this corner of William St. It's a major upgrade for that corner.

I'm glad this is open in time for the NCAA tourney games. I can't wait to check it out!

What a dogshit editorial. Bash this for having "too much retail" (30k sq ft) while touting ZDS (47k sq ft of retail). Their argument is that Providence Place, the Arcade, and other areas have retail vacancies, so there's no need for more. Because that's how retail works... The rest of their...

Agreed. I like Design Center most, but would also be happy with Transom. I get that ZDS is local, but it's the least inspired design. Which means it's likely going to win.

To be fair, managing the company's digital presence pretty standard practice for a Communications/PR person. It's also precisely why nobody should trust any Wikipedia article to be unbiased (or even completely accurate).

Thanks! I actually am not in New Bedford much apart from the occasional visit to see family/friends. I was in Boston for almost 10 years before buying a place in Providence in late 2023. So that's where I am now. We have little place outside of Bethel, so we're in Maine quite a bit and I...

Most airlines (especially low cost airlines) want to maximize the amount of time their planes are in the air (that's when they're making money). So PWM-HVN might just be about squeezing some extra revenue out of an aircraft that would otherwise just be sitting on the tarmac (or even occupying a...

Thanks. I’ve been doing this commute near daily for the last year, and this is the first of the new sets that I’ve seen.

Anyone know if they're testing the new Acela trainsets along the NEC (or if they're in revenue service and I just completely whiffed on the news)? I took NE Regional 175 home from Boston to Providence today (around 3:50) and I swear as we were pulling in to PVD, one of the new Acelas was pulling...

From today

This looks fantastic. With every recent project (inc. much of SCR) seemingly being value engineered, it's refreshing to see some inspired design. The bridge itself is clearly visible from 195 and is a gateway to downtown on Route 18 (the primary entrance to the city center). It's a nice, new...

It's kind of wild how long it has taken, but I'm still excited for this. The good news is that we're talking a matter of weeks, not months. And it does seem construction truly is near-finished.
