Re: Boylston West @ Fenway Triangle (Goodyear Tire) | 1325 Boylston Street | Fenway I don't think anyone is arguing that it won't be great to have Target here and that it's not an upscale shopping destiny. I think jass and I were commenting on our surprise that Target interiors we've seen...

Eataly is aspirational :D

Re: Boylston West @ Fenway Triangle (Goodyear Tire) | 1325 Boylston Street | Fenway Yes, but let's face it--we are increasingly looking for "hip" shopping experiences. The same reason Shaw's had to up it's game and add a Starbucks, the reason we go to Whole Foods, the reason Millennium Tower...

I've eaten at the NYC and Chicago outposts (in Chicago just last week 3 times--twice for lunch once for dinner)--there are definitely "meal"-worthy stations. You cannot eat there for 5.99 as you can in most food courts. 10.00 is probably on the lower end for a sit-down meal experience. But the...

Re: Boylston West @ Fenway Triangle (Goodyear Tire) | 1325 Boylston Street | Fenway Actually, I felt that way in the City Target Chicago a couple weeks ago; kind of surprisingly "run-down" feeling for a relatively new concept.

Not sure about the cheap, but it definitely looks awkward--a whole "and now for something completely different" interlude within an already somewhat over-busy façade. There's an argument to be made that this enclosure should be as neutral and unprepossessing as possible.

Decent list, but I wish there was a bigger variety of produce and cheese vendors (though if the focus is on local, produce and cheese types could be pretty limited). Within the "meats" category, I hope some one or more of them specialized in real charcuterie.

I lived there at the time; it wasn't.

of course, cost is always a fact of life. ROI, however??? For millennia, what pharaoh, emperor, pope, tsar or potentate gave ROI a second thought?

Lots of interesting points raised above. As others (and the Globe article) note, this will be a labor of love for an entity not looking to turn a profit, but it could be a very interesting technological/engineering achievement which would add to Boston's cachet. A nice opportunity for someone...

I don't think it's terrible, but it might get a bit more pizazz if there wasn't a tree right in front of it and if the entrance was framed in a contrasting tile.

Re: 121 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport Square Definitely nicer that anything else down there.

Re: Boylston West @ Fenway Triangle (Goodyear Tire) | 1325 Boylston Street | Fenway Certainly bigger, but cooler? seem like more glass boxes from the renderings I've seen.

Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex I agree it may not create a pedestrian-oriented area, but I think it will certainly be a destination if it has some profile as a significant shopping/hotel/skating venue. A kind of mini-Assembly Square.

It is NOTHING like Whole Foods. It's mostly imported Italian gourmet stuff. No fruit and vegetable (unless this is different from others). I think you would have grounds for complaint if this Eataly only had high-end/sit-down dining--I think if they are eliminating the food court, Prudential...

+1. I think is has a nice "substantiality" (is that a word?) about it--kind of a solidness that characterizes the best of Boston architecture.

As an aside to itchy, I think Madrid's Terminal 4 (the only one I've flown into) is great--not at all on par with the others listed, though I agree with the sentiment. But I think "world class" is not a term most people would apply to this modification of Terminal E. It's fine, it's functional...

We turn water features off and on in deference to the cold weather--if this were permanent, I'm sure it could be stored/repaired and reinstalled yearly. I think it's a shame that something that "works" this well in this particularly Bostonian space should not live beyond a single season in 2015.

Definitely an upgrade and very functional looking, but world class? Maybe in the world of US airports it is competitive, but I can think of 50 international airports that are WAY more architecturally impressive. Not complaining (I'm good with functional), just keeping it real. ;)

I think you mean it WILL be possible? And are there no plans to connect-up A as well? It would be an annoying quirk to have only one terminal not connect post-security to the others...
