Van, now I understand why you like urbex:

I take it you're not a scientist? justin

That's great, thanks!

I join the praise. How often does Google update its satelite images? The one they have is over a year old, with ICA half-covered and the hotel by Manulife still in the ground. justin

The old building is a better instance of its style than the new graft is of its.

^ I was thinking DMUs because that would entail stictly zero fixed infrastructure investment, and is feasible because the line never goes underground. Switching to electric is much more than merely stringing wire: you need substations, fences on overpasses etc. Light rail would be problematic...

Excellent science! Philly really shouldn't score so high, though. justin

^They've been saying that about SST and Columbus center for 5-10 years now. justin

What's the building in huh 009? BTW, I think this thread would be more visible in Existing Development. justin

Curved front, much more glass, bigger doors, great seating arrangement (which you can't see from the pictures). The BL cars essentially have the same design as before, with a metallic rather than white top, In any case, not guilty of excess inventiveness. justin

^at least this much: justin

Maybe Boston is as boring as it is because *former* architects dictate its tastes. justin

Morton Street on the Readville CR line just reopened as a real train station, There are four more new stops coming, so slowly this might become more like Boston's fifth rapid transit line. If only they bought a few DMUs and ran them on even a 15min schedule... justin

The retard graphics is offensive, but it's also funny. Since humor is a far higher virtue than righteousness, vansh, good for you. It's funny how Americans want their executives, from presidents down to forum moderators, to be paragons of moral virtue rather than merely competent performers of...

^But, he has managed to tip the Supreme Court away from the babykillers. If you count up the millions of Americans killed every year by their 'mothers' and (sometimes government-funded) abortionists, 9/11 looks like peanuts. Just because of that, all other bloody incompetence aside, Bush goes...

^ Beats Harvard Sq. by one point.

Boston is a small, old, dense, pretty, wealthy city: purring along rather than booming is just fine. And if my choice is between a boom and a trickle of bad architecture, I'll take the latter. justin

This forum worked just fine for years without a moderator, because it was populated by people mature enough to realize that the word 'douchebag' cannot conceivably be relevant to their shared interest. But then came the children... I have no serious objection to vansh's moderation so far. At...

The first Red Line station in Cambridge is Kendall, not Kendall/MIT. They should do the same thing at Copley: leave the official name on the green band as is, and add BPL on the white band below. In fact, this might be a useful general practice, e.g. North Station/TDBN Garden, Kenmore/Fenway...
