Re: Pier 4 Residential Tower | 136-146 Northern Avenue | Seaport If the boat I was on happened to be another 5-10 feet higher, I would have had a great view down into the Goodwin Proctor pit next door. Alas.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport Apologies for the varying quality here. I took these photos with my phone on a moving boat:

A couple photos I snapped yesterday evening from the water, unfortunately with my phone. The first image will look very different in a few years:

Not that I am nearly as good a photographer as many others here, but I figured I throw a couple photos I snapped with my phone into the mix (forgive the varying quality). All taken from the water:

My sentiments exactly. I went to college in PA and traveled through NY and along the PA and NJ Turnpikes frequently. Any time I hear someone from Boston gripe about tolls on the Mass Pike or on the Tobin, I chuckle. I know people in PA and NY who would kill to have tolls as inexpensive as those...

Re: Boston College Master Plan debut The photo of the sign in one of BeeLine's photos says the dorm will have 490 beds, which is approximately 5% of BC's undergraduate student population. Not sure how much pressure this will alleviate in Cleveland Circle. I think colleges everywhere have the...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos BetaBoston Might the MBTA actually do something better than its counterparts? When I'm downtown, I'd still take the MBTA to get around, but this will certainly make it much more enjoyable and convenient.

Re: Public Food Market Not sure it can compare with some of the international ones posted here (particularly when it comes to scale), but I am particularly partial to Lancaster, PA's, Central Market. It's a fantastic space, I think the brick exterior is great, it's generally packed, and there...

Re: Fan Pier B&T has an article about GP finalizing its lease. Nothing earth-shattering in it, but here's the link anyway: http://www.bankerandtradesman.com/news157426.html What was more interesting was the rendering that accompanied it. I haven't seen this one before. Has anyone else?

Re: T construction news I did a search, but didn't come up with anything, so this seemed like the next most natural place: Boston Business Journal

I figured this is the best place to put this article: Boston Business Journal It sounds like he agrees with what many people here believe...Menino's impending departure has developers racing to get their projects through the approvals process. It'll be interesting to see how significant a...

Apologies for the double post, but today's Financial Times had an interesting feature article on Sochi and the financing of the upcoming 2014 Olympics: Before the Gold Rush. FT keeps all its articles behind a paywall, so I pulled a few excerpts: There is a lot of other really good stuff in...

I would imagine the primary reason the MLS steers clear of the Revs for national television is because they're bad...same reason you'll rarely see Cleveland on Monday Night Football. Bad teams equate to poor ratings and lost revenue. You won't get an argument from me that FieldTurf is better...

Proposition Joe: Gillette would be important to any successful Boston Olympics. It has hosted many international soccer events in the past...I have personally attended two CONCACAF Gold Cup Games for World Cup qualifying. Gillette is a big stadium that can host 70,000+ people. I think most...

It's definitely worth checking out. They're a formal group and their cause is real, but they have neither the momentum nor the legitimacy (at least right now) that the Boston 2024 committee has. Their biggest problem at the moment is that the USOC hasn't expressed much interest in pursuing to...

Sorry, I should have been more clear in explanation of the point-to-point part. The governing body's concern in regards to point-to-point courses has to do with records and has little to do with how the race itself is run (sorry). A runner who runs a point-to-point race such as the Boston...

Fair points, Equilibria. Thanks for pointing this out. Now that I think about it, I had seen this map when you originally posted it. I only have one critique having to do with the marathon. The Boston Marathon course would never be deemed acceptable for an Olympic event. Despite its status as...

True, but neither have an advantage over Boston in any other regard. Although not as large as the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics still attract a sizable tourist contingent and require excellent infrastructure, public transit, and a bevy of hotel rooms. Unless I am mistaken, neither...
