Hidden in today's article on DTX: FAO Schwarz is to open a new store in the basement of Macy's ... by Christmas.

cden4: great, could you give us your address? we'll ship them all over to your house.

Re: South Boston Seaport The newspapers win out in these cases. Van Voorhis, Tom Palmer, and Robert Campbell are probably all paid per article, not on salary, right, instead of when they were on the payrolls. Trouble is, it's hard to make a living off a couple hundred bucks a week, no?

Perugia (Italy), a city of 150,000 residents, is home to the Minimetro public transit system. It moves up to 3,000 passengers per hour in each direction. The cars are 5.7 meters long and pulled along the track by six kilometers of rope powered by electric motors. Up to 25 cars can run at any...

Re: Mandarin Oriental I love how the "Globe architecture critic" has an AOL address.

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center So I was over by the Prudential (as I am, every day) and took a couple photos of the location of the new AvalonExeter residential building. As you can see, that block is already bathed in shade. The new building would not increase the shade at...

Re: Filene's So, was anyone by the site today? Was there any activity? Hynes' money is by way of Morgan Stanley; at least, the Seaport Square money is. Just wondering if the company's troubles are having any effects.

Re: W Hotel Steel construction complete for W Hotel Boston Business Journal Also in attendance, Larry from in front of the 7-Eleven.

Re: 45 Province St CM, I agree with you; the units facing the Omni are less-appealing. I know I would never buy one without seeing it in real life, face-to-face (or should I say, wall-to-wall). Nor would any of my clients, I expect. Tough sell on that side. If you get above the 14th/15th...

Re: Mandarin Oriental I hope to be active in the remaining discussions on the new projects on the Plaza. I've had about enough of those people. THOSE PEOPLE (as in, THAT ONE). Had drinks at the Mandarin bar last evening. It was crowded which probably explains why it took so long to get a...

Re: Shreve, Crump & Low bldng may be replaced w/ new develop Paraphrasing Daniel Plainview, "Sometimes I look at buildings and see nothing worth saving."

Re: Mandarin Oriental That's the part I think is weird. I realize it must be simple economics, but I don't understand why the developer wants the bigger building on Boylston. The office on Boylston should be 10-12 stories; the residential on Exeter should be ... I dunno, 24-25 stories? At...

Re: Mandarin Oriental ::ahem:: and that's exactly what people will say ten years from now after SC&L is torn down. "Remember, there was some kind of building there, I think I liked it." People's memories are short. That's why we have cameras.

Re: Columbus Center Ned, you just proved without a doubt what your problem is. You read that article and only saw the part that you wanted to. Pay attention! B&T: "You are among the loudest voices in opposition ..." Walz: "That's not true ... Once the [BRA] approved the project I haven't...

Re: Mandarin Oriental KMP, I don't think that's accurate. It's open today, but it wasn't open last week, as far as I know. No stores inside but you can see the backside of one of the restaurants (Espalier, perhaps?). There's also access to a nice little park (in shadows from the Boylston...

Re: Columbus Center The B&T column is not accurate, or at the very least, misleading; Marty Walz (D-Moonbat) is on record as saying she supports Columbus Center but that she doesn't want it to be built with any public funding.

I think the correct way to describe Hayward Place is, "Millennium Partners has for years resisted calls for building on the site. The developer received what has been termed a 'sweetheart deal' from the city almost a decade ago and has so far missed two economic cycles while the site remains...

Re: BRA approves Emerson College's Paramount Center RE: all the above Nobody likes a know-it-all. Especially if they get the "facts" wrong!
