Nice shots, BeeLine. I had a chance to see the inside of University Hall. This is not the kind of spectacular building that will make AB forumers tingle. But it is a very practical and positive space that suits the campus. Like the 2003 Campus Center, the building responds to the awful...

I've always liked it. It adds variety to the skyline and the sign projects Boston's economic power. I don't expect much of the ground floor of a tower.

Re: South Station Tower Maybe not everyone sees the ridiculousness of this statement. It is some silly developerspeak to say that South Station will only become a landmark when this is built.

Re: South Station Tower From the Hines page: "With commencement of construction anticipated in early 2017, South Station is destined to become a future landmark in Boston."

I happen to like the JFK Federal Building and think it is one of the few buildings from that era (or error) that is standing the test of time. No, it certainly isn't woven well into the urban fabric, but like the Prudential Tower and the existing Transnational Building at the site of the...

Being a Designated Port Area rules out residential.

Nice shot with the JHK, Pru, and MT

My religion is summarized below.

Re: GE Gear Plant - Lynn Lynn is better than its reputation. Its downtown is vibrant, despite having lost large portions to fire. Lynn Shore Drive is some of the best public waterfront access north of Boston. And the city is unpretentious and relatively affordable. The master plan shows that...

Re: GE Gear Plant - Lynn 1250 units over 65 acres all at once. That is a large area to permanently screw up with a single massive development. I am not optimistic. I sure hope Lynn surprises me on this one with some good urban design.

Re: The Merano (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End The way the bridge is the centerpiece of the view at the end of the urban canyon is nice.

I like our new downtown skyline. The new tower makes our old city look fresh and relevant.

Or is it a tripple floor penthouse?

Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but how can floors other than the highest be a penthouse? If I bought a penthouse condo and there were still condos on floors above mine, it wouldn't seen right.

Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End Any of you contacting your legislators about this: Please be very clear that your concern is about this specific construction period impact. You want to make sure the legislator's staff doesn't lump your complaint with...

I may be late to the game, but I wonder why not build a barrier connecting Hull to Deer Island? It would protect a much larger area without much more length of barrier than shown in the configuration in the online graphic: Of course I am only thinking of the horizontal extent of the flood...

I like the Prudential tower, always have. The 1960s window pattern looked dated in the 1980s and 90s, but that mid-century modern stuff is popular again and this should be preserved. Overall, I can't imagine and would not want a Back Bay skyline without the Pru the way it looks now. Yeah, it...

Re: MBTA Survey - Pick the New RL, OL, & GL Livery I dislike any giant T logos on the cars. That kind of graphic might look good on an airplane that is normally viewed from a distance. But the scale seems all wrong on a subway car where passengers will be looking at it from just a few feet...
