    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 She fed them some line like, "I'm completely agnostic about what ultimately gets built there, I only care about the process," which I'm sure caused at least one vein in her forehead to pop.

    How dare this imaginary project not have an imaginary stop in Boston!

    One Canal (formerly Greenway Center) | Bullfinch Triangle | West End

    Retirees are actually a pretty significant group that gets almost completely overlooked when we're talking about the "Gentrification Wars." We assume it's all young people, yuppies, monied techies, etc. Then we assume we can solve the problem by building micro-units, co-habitation units, etc...

    One Canal (formerly Greenway Center) | Bullfinch Triangle | West End

    One Canal (formerly Greenway Center) | Bullfinch Triangle | West End

    From the North End Parks, you can start to get the feeling of how that area will be transformed into more of a "room" with this building complete and then the GC Garage tower and Haymarket Hotel added in. It's a nice effect.

    Do the Affordable Housing Laws Work?

    Please tell me that it's at least a wing of DND, and not some new stand alone.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End I believe the issue isn't building on the plaza writ large, but building immediately next to the building. I guess the difference with this is that it's across the street and replacing an existing publicly used building, so there's not a real...

    Lovejoy Wharf | 131 Beverly Street | West End

    To replace the ferry terminal that they built during the Big Dig and then promptly tore up. Great planning... It's probably also worth noting that the Charlestown Bridge is a real limiting factor here. You can't get the Navy Yard Ferry, or the Hingham/Hull, Salem, Lynn Seasonal, etc. under...

    Rutherford Avenue to go on a diet!

    I'm local, and use it to get up to the Whole Foods, Home Depot, Target, etc. But still, it's basically deserted considering how many lanes there are. I wouldn't be surprised if a traffic study showed that the majority of traffic going through Sullivan doesn't go down Rutherford.

    Downtown Crossing/Financial District | Discussion

    Went into the new Gordon's Liquor/Moody's on Temple Place on Thursday. It's really nice. I'd highly suggest anyone who's interested to check it out.

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    Hopefully the Quaker Lane project ends up like that. And then, hopefully people like it enough that we get similar projects all over the city.

    Re: Driven By.... Uhh... Hello? Anybody? So to make up for lack of data, you posted irrelevant data? If you could stop wasting space on this board, it would be greatly appreciated by all.

    Crazy Transit Pitches

    It seems even crazier when you realize that 1915 was well before suburbanization was even a glint in the Federal Housing Administration's eye.

    The Big Dig-10 years later!

    Really? Must be the .25th Level of Hell or something. That's the one filled with over cooked steaks and Christmas presents you don't want.

    Re: Driven By.... Uhh... Hello? Anybody? Wait, so now you're blaming the union for the design process, the bidding process, and the bids that the contractors submitted? You want to blame the union for Global Warming too? And the idea that "someone has to get screwed over" is ridiculous...
