    "Dirty Old Boston"

    I remember seeing this maybe around 2012 or something after it was long shuttered. I always wondered what it was, thinking it was an escape stairwell or vent building for the tunnels. I never ventured to the North End, and usually only went to Columbus Park where I proposed to my now wife back...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I noticed that while the dates had changed in the past few days the images seemed to be static... as in the same car at the Lechmere traffic light.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Did anyone else notice on The Atlantic article that photo number 16 with the rowing crew that they are saying the photo is from 1977 but you can clearly see a completed One Post Office Sq in that photo, and that wasn't finished until 1981... I'm now curious as to if the tower was finished long...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    This is the reason that I will very much miss the A340 with the downstairs toilets. The A350 is quite nice with having facilities that my fat ass can move around in.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I don't have anything on OneWorld so BA has never been a thing for me. I flew them once from LHR to FRA, and it was such an amazing flight that I took LH the next time.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I've heard that DUB and CDG are near-term destinations for JetBlue. Either way, my disdain of LHR basically means I won't transit or O&D there.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I distinctly remember being stuffed on the second to last row on a Delta 757 from Boston to Paris and swore that I would never do narrowbody across the Atlantic again. That was in 2015, and the last time that I took an American flagged carrier across. No idea what the loads are going to be like...

    Langham hotel to undergo renovation

    It's nice to see that the pink has been toned down or even muted... I used to have to stay there when working at OPS when there were hurricanes and noreasters. It wasn't a bad hotel as long as I could put it on the corp card.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    So I'll jump in on this. Cool photos, but one thing in common that rules out overhanging anything are that all of these photos have third rail power... Last I checked the GLX is using overhead power... I'll go ahead and doxx where I am living at the moment, but the attached photos show that the...

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    So going through my phone, I found photos that I took from the roof of 1PO. Attached for your viewing pleasure.

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    I remember working in that building maybe ten or so years ago. I always wanted to go into the room or whatever it was where the window washers would hook up and whatnot... I jokingly called it the bat cave, but there was quite a bit of interesting infrastructure in that building. If anything, I...

    Police Details, Cameras, & Enforcement Methods

    So I checked the "bußgeldkatalog" (Catalog of Fines) online because the fines are uniform across the country. I'll link the pages below, and just use the translate in whatever browser you have. The small infractions do not usually incur license penalties, but the worse the violation, the worse...

    Police Details, Cameras, & Enforcement Methods

    I had to look up the company that makes the "Blitzer" but it actually is interesting what all they can do with them. Even more interesting is that they have a US division for traffic enforcement, and I think the MassDOT already uses them on the MassPike for the number plate recognition. The...

    Police Details, Cameras, & Enforcement Methods

    So I have a different perspective on this, as someone who has lived both in Mass and the EU, as well as other places in the USA. The only time that I can see a police detail is warranted is work on a highway, be it state or federal, or interstate highway. When Verizon was installing FiOS on my...
