Here are a few I took a few months back. I used to walk from school on Boylston to work down at Quincy Market daily, and these were a few shots I snapped. Nothing fancy - using a practically broken Cybershot.

Re: Liberty Wharf (Jimmy's Harborside) I went there with my sister and parents a few weeks ago, and going dutch with each of us splitting the nachos and downing a pint was totally affordable on our limited budgets. All we wanted to do was people watch and be by the water. Remy's got us fed and...

Totally. In fact, I looked at the map some more and didn't even realize the zone excluded the retail immediately along Cambridge and N. Beacon. This is why I was so supportive about NB's original Guest Street plans - it's exactly what should go in that area and is positive redevelopment. The...

Re: Allston-Brighton Developments I was curious about New Balance's Guest Street plans and thought any new development plans had evaporated. I covered the community meetings in Brighton for the Lowes and New Balance proposals last year for school (Journalism student, my beat was Brighton) and...

The first one was taken Marathon Monday. I was leaning on my bike and like everyone else had been day-drinking, so I'm amazed I caught this shot. The second shot was taken a couple of days earlier while they were still setting up those white tents in Copley Square.

Re: Mass Art Dormitory Taken last month, during that brief nice period we had before it rained for three weeks.

Here are a few shots from Saturday morning. There were actually a few people buying tickets from the ferry kiosk and strolling about. Overall, though, I'm not that impressed. All this and the adjacent carousel do is frame the pathway between two much more interesting public spaces (Columbus...

I don't believe this has been posted elsewhere. Not surprised in the least. Menino to appoint Peter Meade director of BRA By Casey Ross, Globe Staff Peter Meade, a longtime Democratic operative and former executive for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, will be named director of the...

Hey Guys. I'm a senior-ish print journalism student at Emerson. I'm also a local who transfered to the school a couple of semesters ago who works and lives in the city. For my current multimedia class, I'm required to maintain a blog throughout the semester on a topic of my choosing, with the...

Commonwealth Books has been empty for about a year now. I'm not sure if the one in DTX near Old South Meetinghouse was there before this, but I discovered it after the Boylston Street closure and have been using it since.

I work at a restaurant in the marketplace and business has been miserable since Christmas. A lot of it has been the weather the past few weeks, but I think now that the college kids are back and going to the bars over the weekend Faneuil Hall will pick up. The Marketplace is actually putting up...

Re: Gardner Museum to undertake $60 million expansion I've only ever been to the Gardner since the heists, and it is a magical experience. Their exhibition space is pretty sad, I must admit, but the structure and all of its components are one big cohesive masterpeice. I support the addition...

HOW COULD I FORGET MODERN LOVERS? They helped get me through high school (which was roughly 20-30 years after their emergence). Nothing I should brag about concerning most of their musics subject matter was about awkward teens, specifically in Massachusetts, but they are Boston music in my mind...

As stated above, The Pixies are undoubtedly the most influential band to come out of Boston. Kurt Cobain even admitted to ripping them off. Popular music today is what it is because of what this band did in the late 80's and early 90's. This is true internationally, with the bands greatest...

Maybe it's just here, where I live, but older south shore Boston suburbs like Milton and Braintree, and to an extent Randolph and some other surrounding towns, etc. are relatively dense, don't have much sprawl, and maintain an elevated level of historical character through their architecture and...

It doesn't really solve one problem by creating another one. Housing is an issue in general, for students and for families. Now there'll just be less housing in general for everyone. Students need housing and families need housing, but restricting one to help the other may seem noble because a...

I could not agree less that more often than not the city is covered in parking lots than urbanity. Southie, Dorchester, JP, Roxbury, Allston/Brighton, etc. are very urban and rarely deserve criticism in their layouts. Its pointless to go into all the reasons why touching most of the villagey...

I hope you guys didn't scare Westy off. I learn more and appreciate the topics more after each post. They're long but their on topic, yet also far reaching. I'll be pissed if we loose that in favor of this squabbling that, saddly, I'm contributing to. But for the sake of preventing Westy from...

Re: Gardner Museum to undertake $60 million expansion Of course there are times when police are permitted to enter, but that is the general policy when the museum is closed to the public.

Atleast someones using the Greenway.
