Only went in there once but I recall that the seating problem was because they hadn't been able to open up a public bathroom. See also 4A Coffee on the other end of Harvard St. The hierarchy of the food trucks in Dewey Square is pretty established, I've noticed. To the points made above, Bon Me...

Too bad that the original Sert vision to which the LAW tower was restored only put those red panels on the narrow side and not on the wide side. The red is a nice accent and a good bit of branding for the university. The green panels are a whole lot of nothing by comparison. All in all, though...

This, indeed, is the spirit. Do for the building at night what it's impossible to do in the daytime -- liven the damned thing up. If done right, you could even imagine a lit-up City Hall being one of the B-roll bumps that national sports broadcasts use when they return from commercial and send...

Preliminary injunction in favor of the BHCA: Judge temporarily halts installation of accessibility ramps on Beacon Hill (Globe) Not so frivolous, as it turns out, at least legally.

I'm with Money. Ignore list, people. I have two names on mine (one isn't who you think) and I lead a happier life, seriously. It'd be even better if so many people didn't use quote blocks on all this irritating yet ultimately harmless nonsense. I'm also with Shepard. The only Roche Bros. I've...

Sorry about your dad. He must have had some great stories about old Boston. Any chance he meant Battery St. instead of Batterymarch? That's just outside the circle roughly between the Eliot School and Battery Wharf. Can't help with access, but that idea might be a little bit warmer.

That was, in fact, pretty much the point. I shouldn't have engaged your contempt for my comparison, which I will now make more bluntly as a way of bringing the thread back to its stated point. Pine Street here--fine. Pine Street there--global thermonuclear war. Good reason for it? Not really...

^Nothing you're saying is wrong - about Waban vs. Coolidge Corner. I'm talking specifically and hyper-granularly about that stretch of Beals Street up from the JFK birthplace. It's a cherry pick, but it's an apt enough comparison to analyze the NIMBY angle given that exactly the same...

A couple of those Pine St. transitional homes are within a few doors of the JFK birthplace on Beals Street in Brookline. That immediate area is near or on par economically with Waban, consisting of $2M+ single family homes whose property values and quality of life don't seem diminished in the...

Re: Boston to Cape rail Bourne votes to join the MBTA: http://www.capecodtimes.com/article/20150519/NEWS/150519332/101015 As you can see, the process involved convincing town voters that the arguments against joining were just flimsy excuses. Now that Bourne's in the district, that's one less...

The old Elephant Walk at 900 Beacon was demoed this week. This guy to go up in its place. Earlier discussion up the thread right here.

Re: Park Plaza's $95 million renovation Agreed. I used to love that lobby with the dark paneling and the piano going in the back -- one of the places in the city where you felt like you were somewhere. Ditto the grand ballroom with its columns and side balconies. Hopefully they didn't swap out...

Well, I'll see your inertia and raise you more inertia. :) Green Line riders who start or end their journeys on the branches have already chosen their preferred apps, and a rough underground predictive system that's going to be obsolete by summer probably wouldn't be a game changer. Plus, as...

Arlington, to your point, might as well just wait for the T to finish its tracking equipment install. Now that they've had four years to think about it, they do seem to be moving forward at a decent pace at last. I always wondered why they didn't just have the inspectors at Kenmore, Boylston...

Re: Garden Garage Towers (Basketball City) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End BRA Current Urban Renewal Areas And yes, the West End is on here.

I posted on this back in October, and now some details, apparently as first reported right here on archBOSTON.org (I couldn't find anything on the Googles). The building at 30 Webster Street traded on Feb. 20th for $19.6 million. Appears to be a cash deal - at least, no secured financing went to...

Re: The Point (Boylston/Brookline) Great to hear about the Audubon Circle Residents' Association. They should be pushing for iconic on every single project that comes to market so as to distract attention from this thing.

You can walk right up to the State House in Providence and the Capitol in Hartford, though on most approaches you'll be doing so through their vast parking lots. Providence is even expanding their State House parking, to the unending chagrin of the poor souls trying to connect the Smith Hill...

Does anyone recall whether ability to finance and complete the project was a factor in the selection process? Having been mentally beaten down by our recent history of the Columbus Center failure and the Fenway Center indefinite stall, and even more recently the mulligan on the last bid process...
