    1600, 1800, 1850 Soldiers Field Road | Brighton

    RIP, IHOP! That was the place to go late at night in high school...

    American Repertory Theater | 175 North Harvard Street | Allston

    What dismal architecture. It looks like a group of cheap rental buildings by the side of the highway, circa 2011.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I know it's inevitable and there're good economic reasons for it, but what a bummer. There's something so much more romantic/satisfying about seeing a 4-engine jet taking off, or landing, over the city.

    Dorchester Bay City (nee Bayside Expo Ctr.) | Columbia Point

    ^^ That's hilarious. This one is a "guilty pleasure" for me. On the one hand, it's fugly. It's of-the-moment schlock - the Brawndo of architecture. On the other hand, it's kinda exciting. It's like a mini city where today there's not much. I assume it'll have modish restaurants/retail/etc...

    Harvard SEC (Science & Engineering Complex) | Western Ave | Allston

    Wow, really not an inspiring view Harvard has of its students: putting up 'suicide glass' in a way that almost no public building (open to any crazy who walks in) would do.

    Bowker Overpass replacement?

    I read through the Northeastern article and honestly felt much more optimistic about this than most of the comments above. My take is: There are three unfortunate realities of this area currently. The first is the fact these heavily trafficked roads exist at all. The second is the immediately...

    Biking the Boston 'Burbs (Trails, MDC, & Towns beyond Hubway area)

    ^^ That's really too bad. Why did it need a 2/3 majority?

    975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    As the Gen Z kids say (maybe): Jokers gonna joke.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Double Boo. I always love seeing 4-engine planes (the A340) coming in/out. Unlike the A340, the A350 and A330 are double-engine, I believe?

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    agree - really disappointing

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    This is an architecture forum. Where people comment on the quality of Boston architecture. It's a pretty simple proposition, but I guess you're a little too literal for even that?

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    One can only hope Tremont on the Common - the crown jewel in the Drucker Empire, their multi-generational legacy - looks like this one day (sooner vs. later):

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    ^^ Excellent point. + Druker's a freaking cretin.

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    I wish his taste in architecture was as good as his taste in suits.

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    Holy Mother of God. What is this abortion of a design?

    North End Cross Street Boutique Hotel | 42 Cross Street | North End

    Agree: this is a winner.

    975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    Why on earth would they make Agree. And why turn some of the most expensive housing to build (downtown real estate, platform over the Mass Pike) into a housing project? This is as boondoggly as it gets.

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    If MGH wanted to incorporate them, it could.

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    Good project, wrong place (kills too many businesses that are not only thriving but give Davis Sq its personality). I'd prefer to see this not move forward. Go build the lab off 93 in Woburn.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Fair, but nonetheless, the attitude of governing officials is pretty shockingly douchebaggy: "The MBTA again asserted that each of the seven support columns underneath Haymarket station “are the responsibility of HYM” — and the transit agency intends to hold the developer financially...
