Time will tell whether I should have bumped this thread or the general A/B thread, but apparently a proposal is being floated for up to 300 additional units at 139 Washington, the site adjacent to this one. This is the site of (1) a satellite campus for St. John's Seminary, the last remaining...

MassDOT/Keolis need to be talking with the Celts and Bruins right now about a collaboration. Instead of charter buses to the Garden after pre-game morning workouts, both teams should be taking chartered commuter rail from the new stop to North Station via the Grand Junction. Three further...

It's jarring how undiplomatic he is with his language -- nothing but scorched earth behind him. I guess you don't see that often because the other 99.9% of people who go through The Boston Approval Process™ will probably have to go through it again at some point in their lives. Not this guy...

Thread title should be "teeming hordes" and not "teeming hoards," which more closely (though not quite grammatically) depicts a survivalist's fallout shelter bursting at the seams with canned goods. Also, I initially thought the title meant looking for places for new housing, not figuring out...

Well well, what do we have here? Cape Cod Times - State puts brakes on plan to renumber Route 6 signs

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Neighborhood in a building -- mmmmm, needs more arcology.

Re: North-South Rail Link Shirley is like the Shaughnessy of the business section over there -- total hack who drives you nuts when you read her. Of course that's exactly what her bosses want, eternally confused as they are about the difference between being relevant and being vital. And yeah...

Checked it out on Saturday for the first time, loved it, nice job by all involved. Took the elevator from Green to street level, and from the time I stepped in to the time the door closed, two separate sets of people came in with me and left when I told them it was the elevator up and not the...

Re: South Station Tower ^ 60 South St = Two Financial Center

^Similar announcements at Kenmore for the other branches. That is a positive, but not nearly a net positive with all of the other changes. Agreed on Silver Line. Any such announcement should mention the Dudley destination, and should also probably come with signage on the Boylston platforms to...

Holy hell. We need to produce some noise pollution ourselves until we're sure the T hears us and this gets knocked down or knocked out altogether. Unacceptable. On the plus side, my initial suspicion was that they were ghettoizing the B because of the students. Glad to hear it's a case of equal...

On the B Line last night, we surfaced at Blandford and heard a new announcement, spoken by a female voice when the doors opened: "Pay your fare; it's only fair." Then, at BU East: "Pay your fare; it's only fair." BU Central: "Pay your fare; it's only fair." That's right, it was played at EVERY...

Re: Government Center Redesign You had to figure Jeremy Jacobs would eventually ooze his way down from North Station into the center of the city if given the opportunity. "From the winning team that brought you the FleetCenter! And...the beer stands at the FleetCenter!" Looking at this thing...

F-Line, you are profoundly missing the Step 0 of any policy debate and wasting energy on being critical of the emotional appeal of my points. You're forgetting that emotional appeals are what make most policy debates happen in the first place. (No, I will not cite my source.) If nobody feels...

Agreed 100%. Preposterous as applied, I should have said.

I mean, I don't know what to tell you if you don't think Cape Cod is unique. It's unique geographically from anywhere in the United States, owing to its origins by glacial formation and its prime location -- ocean-bound, temperate, and proximate to major population centers. Along with the...

OK, here we go, I'm doing it. Bear with me, I will bring it all the way around. 1. If the pols don't know how futile it is to negotiate, their constituents definitely do not know. The poor Cape Cod Times (along with every paper bought and gutted by Gatehouse in, south, and east of Boston) is a...

For real though, of all the places to float this, why choose a highway that isn't limited access until Mile 56? Nobody is driving this thing straight to Seekonk past God-knows-how-many-Star-Market-strip-malls. Are they just trolling crusty year-rounders? Not that that's a bad reason to do...

^ So if they do this renumbering and then they ever move forward on Exit 6 1/2, it will become Exit 69... ..I'll show myself out

If you guys like this building, you'll love the same developer getting an opportunity to build a Hilton on the site of an old gas station right up the road! Story: Public hears plans for new hotel (Tab) Site: right here Obstacles to construction: they have to close on the parcel, they have to...
