^ DC. If you want good examples of infill in the US, look at Chicago and Philadelphia.

NIMBYs' worst nightmare? (from DC):

Sam Yoon?

I can't believe I'm the first person here with the news that Menino's not running.

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore, Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) This part of the Fenway has been a series of rundown suburban parking lots for 80 years, the Soxcentric "economy of the neighborhood" notwithstanding - or, rather, thanks to it. It's land between Brookline and the Back Bay. There's way...

Yes please to both.

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place ^ And ruined with ugly window treatments. :)

Bah, show me the Pearl Harbor of King Philip's War. Puritan suburbia being raised to the ground. Medfield wiped off the map. Now that sounds awesome.

Re: Parcel 9 - The Greenway Is it me or were the lowrise portions of each scaled down quite a bit? Whose idea was it to line the Greenway with a two-story structure? Blackstone wins for the architecture of the lowrise portion (Normandy's looks like the Seaport InnovaShed), but they should use...

Yeah, the revolutionary period is definitely an underrepresented time in Boston's history that needs further exploration and investigation. #eyeroll I would love to see a movie set in 17th century Boston. Or the 19th century.

Excellent. This street needs the Boylston-in-Fenway treatment.

FILL Route 20 with these. Then A Branch of the Green Line all the way to 128, supplemented by dedicated-lane trolleybus extensions to Cambridge. #crazyurbanismpitches

They hand them out at the subway station near where I work...to the people leaving the station. #doingitwrong

The Phoenix was always free so it's questionable how much the "market" really matters in this case. The bigger problem was fewer eyeballs looking at a print edition that the paper could charge a premium in ads for. And I don't remember if the Phoenix had classifieds (I think it did) but...

Can't they just hold the farmers' market in the park?

Too cool. I demand interior pics of this.
