^Great post and breakdown. I too am frustrated with the lack of private business/employment development. That's not a new challenge for Providence, but I was optimistic about the potential for these parcels. I even hoped (and still cling to a tiny bit of it) that Hasbro would relocate to one...

Me too. It's been crickets though.

What rambling mess. My point about Trillium Fenway had nothing to do with density. The pavilion style brewery exists literally right next to a food hall. They're different types of businesses. They're not competitors regardless of whether the population density is 35,000 people per sq. mi or...

You're kind of all over the place here. A couple of points: Fenway's density vs. the area around the park isn't really the point. The park is already active. As is the beer garden that already exists. It'll do just fine with a more permanent home in the pavilion. You can't whine that my...

What's wrong with educated professionals living on the parcels closer to the highway? They're still within walking distance to just about everything downtown (as well as the hospitals where, surely, some of them may work) and they have good highway access. Are you surprised that people have...

I'll add my voice to the "this is a good thing" camp. For starters, the park is a great public space. It's beautiful, vibrant, and active. This pavilion will be an unobtrusive way to activate the space even more (and for all seasons). And while I'm certainly an advocate for more housing...

You're right. I'm definitely coming at it from a rail-rider perspective, but it will benefit a range of users.

Fantastic! I haven't seen numbers recently, but it seems like there are more and more people boarding the trains here in the AM. It'll be a godsend to have this during nasty weather. It's especially beneficial for people who will live in some of the new/converted buildings nearby and don't have...

Fantastic news. This is a great development.

Not a great day for the OL yesterday: https://www.universalhub.com/2024/improvement-orange-line-train-dies-aboveground

Thanks. I tried clearing cookies again and it worked fine.

I am getting "403 Forbidden - You do not have permission to access this resource" errors when visiting AB on my phone. Laptop or iPad is fine. Doesn't matter which browser I'm using. I've cleared the cache and am on the same wifi network as the PC and iPad. Wondering if anyone has had this...

One of my favorite things over the years has been taking people to New Bedford for the first time. Lots of people think of the "gateway cities" as rundown old mill towns. There's certainly some of that in New Bedford, but the downtown area, waterfront, and Rodney French area look nothing like...

Yeesh, the last thing that area needs is a Taco Bell Cantina. There are so many better restaurants with more authentic food (and full bars) nearby. I think you're right about the challenge filling those new spaces. There aren't many local businesses that can afford the rent and liquor license...

Wish something could have been done to save it, but it's probably time for it to go. It looks like it could collapse on the tracks at any moment.

At the risk of being crucified for even suggesting it in a Biking in Boston thread, would it make sense to convert one entire side of Boylston's street parking spaces - for the entire length between Mass. Ave. and Arlington - to a continuous delivery/taxi/rideshare lane? I noticed the column...

Well that's fine news, I guess. I won't hold my breath until it's open, but progress is progress.

Yeah, I followed along on Instagram as soon as I saw the signs. There are occasionally progress posts, but it's soooooo slow and I worry it'll just die. However, I did see that he's doing a popup at AXL the next couple of Saturdays. My wife used to take spin classes there, so I absolutely would...

Bummer about Cafe Gloria. I'd been excited about that place for a while, but even by the time we moved out of Eastie, it didn't seem to have made much progress and social media posts were few and far between.

Love this thread concept and hope it keeps going. I think Plymouth somehow manages to fly under the radar, but it's actually a great spot to stroll. As disappointing (silly, even) as Plymouth Rock is, the waterfront is very pretty. There are places you can access the harbor, and plenty of...
