Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 ^I have to say I think it's ridiculous for people on this board to get irritated with others whom happen to like tall buildings. Really though, what do you see when you approach any city in the world?....The...

^When the current projects in the pipeline have risen, the skyline will have expanded-giving the city a bigger look to it...Especially North Station area. The new 750' peak downtown (Winthrop Sq.) will also be awesome-especially if the golden crown shines brightly at night. Copley Place...

^ This is probably the main reason for the postponement. (the optimist in me refuses to call it a cancellation, as Simon states it's only being postponed) I have two friends working construction at the Wynn casino site, and they are getting tons of overtime, working weekends, etc. All of those...

^They should've done condos instead of apts., take large pre-construction deposits on the units and start the project when the safety is their to assure enough units are pre-sold as a hedge. Getting this approved was no small feat, so let's hope they do sell the rights to someone who can make it...

^ These photos highlight just how much of a landmark/point of reference Pierce is becoming for the Fenway area.

^I am withholding judgment until I see the finished $700 million product towering in front of me. What I find interesting is that the 789' tall 64/story Four Seasons/Miami (only) :) cost $280 million to build in 2003. This one is $700 mil! Is ours that much more opulent, or is it labor costs...

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point ^In all reality, I don't recall Jeff Immelt ever mentioning Mars at all. I thought he was quoted as saying he "wants a GE sign so large that it's visible from space".....but maybe I'm wrong. It doesn't matter anyway. One thing that's very...

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point ^^....How can one simple satirical question about the GE sign elicit responses which read like a college thesis? Thank goodness for the free MIT OCW (open course ware) courses I'm taking.....they help me decipher many posts on here. :-)

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point ^I remember reading that Immelt wanted a GE sign on the building that could be seen from space, but the sign shown in the renders does not appear to be anything spectacular. The Great Wall of China can be seen from space, so I was...

Re: T construction news ^Additionally, the new Great Wolf Lodge Water Park/Resort is on the opposite corner of the interchange, very nearby there. One could theoretically take the train in from Boston and then walk from the new Wachusett Station across Route 2 to Great Wolf Lodge. (though it...

Please don't PEE in their pool.....they don't swim in your toilet!

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Riddle: How can you come out of Wynn's casino with a small fortune? Answer: You enter with a large one.

^I would attend if it would make any difference. But voicing support does not matter if Don insists on a project exceeding the Chapter 90 parameters imposed by the state, so his two-tower proposal is an effort in futility. I don't understand why he keeps beating that dead horse.

Re: Offical City Hall Plaza Proposals ^Gives a whole new meaning to: "There's an APP for that"...... :)

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Technically, a bunch of Cranes together is a "Herd of Cranes". In this case, it's a "Jackpot of Cranes". :)

^I also support expansion/improvements/cost cutting. But does anyone really believe that outsourcing the drivers and maintenance labor will accomplish this? I would love to believe this will happen, but as we usually see these days, the "cost savings" will probably translate into huge bonuses...

^No he's not....I have a friend in construction and he and other crews are working weekends down there-for double time pay.

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Got it....still learning the rules.

Imagine the dilemma of choosing which window to put the Christmas tree in front of!

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Ok, it's been over two months since the last post on this. Is the Garden Garage getting imploded any time soon? .....I've got some leftover 4th of July pyrotechnics available to help..... Roman candles, M-60's...
