Re: New hotel tower Trinity Place near Copley Sq. I know there was some conversation about this project in another thread, but it appears this is the correct thread to put this article (please feel free to correct/yell at me if I'm wrong). Banker & Tradesman (Wasn't behind a paywall for me.)...

Thanks, itchy, for the kind words regarding the pictures. I took them all with a phone camera, so I'd love to see what they'd look like with an actual camera that can better handle sunlight. My phone tends to pick up a lot of glare if it's pointed in even the general vicinity of the sun. And...

I don't think there is any uniform policy regarding federal spending on the Olympics. Mitt Romney said the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics would not have been possible had the federal government not stepped in with a big check. (Article: Mitt Romney: 2002 Winter Olympics were made possible by...

The cities traditionally associated with Olympic hangovers (Athens and Beijing, specifically) experienced bad hangovers because they went about planning and building for the Olympics the wrong way. They built massive stadiums and complexes that could never be properly utilized once the games...

Itchy, your observations in the second paragraph do hold water. The biggest employers in Lancaster are the two hospitals and the college. It's a beautiful little city, but I knew from the get go that my days there were numbered even though I loved it. There simply aren't any jobs that would...

Well...it's not Monday, but I have finally carved out a bit of time to get my photos from Lancaster's West End put together. Most of the streets in the West End are similar: they're nice residential areas populated by 2-4 story brick and stone row homes and just about every street has a...

So I walked around Lancaster's West End today and snapped well over 150 photos of the neighborhood's streets and architecture. Unfortunately, I have yet to finish editing all of them and selecting which ones I want to display here. Tomorrow and Sunday are moving days, so it's unlikely I will...

Thank you, Choo. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the first post, I will be leaving this wonderful little city on Sunday (although I am moving up to Boston, so I can't really complain). I will do my best to snap photos of the city's West End before I leave, although I was hoping to accomplish...

Part 2: Downtown Downtown Lancaster is generally defined as the area within the following streets: James to the north, Lime to the east, King to the south, and Prince to the west. I already covered Lime Street in the previous section, so Part 2 will focus on a slightly smaller area of downtown...

Much of the city's resurgence began to take hold about three years ago, so the city has changed a lot since then. The restaurants are more plentiful, there is more retail, and the number of dead spots in the city is declining. The north side of the city would still generally be considered bleak...

So I've been a long time lurker on this forum, a displaced Bostonian living in Lancaster, PA, for the past five years (the first four attending college and this most recent one working and interning in the area). However, on Sunday I will be moving back to the Boston area to start a new job and...

Re: One Bromfield (28-story tower @ DTX) EDIT: Didn't see Downburst started something to the Filene's thread.

Re: One Bromfield (28-story tower @ DTX) Honestly, I cannot remember where I found it; before I discovered archBoston about a year ago, I kept a folder with renderings and articles about notable real estate projects in Boston so I could keep track of them (this forum is much more efficient). I...

Re: One Bromfield (28-story tower @ DTX) Hello all, longtime follower and first time poster. Hate to bring back a topic with no news to report, but I was curious if anyone had ever seen this rendering (I did not see it in an admittedly quick scan of the entire thread): Obviously, this does...
