When you look at it all, from a collective stand point, I'd say this. Boston's shoulders' are defiantly broadening. Downtown is getting new exclamation points, new 20 or so story towers are transforming many areas. Parking lots in first ring areas are getting done up. New street walls are...

KZ, as a guy who left Everett St (and also right off of North Harvard Ave) in Lower Allston, I can say you will miss it. But, ultimately you're moving to NY and if anything shit gets more dynamic. You will miss the neighborhood that more aptly reps your 20's along with the rehearsal places/...

Re: Nashua Street Residences | MBTA North Station Garage | West End Yea everything you just said. This one will be massively noticeable coming in from the north and will be visible from many locations. It will also help bridge the gap between downtown skyline and the smaller cluster forming...

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport Looks like that basement is below Boston Harbor, which is a stones throw away. Kind of freaky.

Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport So I imagine this building with it's deep basement right next to the harbor must have a strong sump pump system?

So how long do you think it will take to pour a floor and start on the next one?

Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex Nice to see this beefing up. I see this area being very active when all said and done. Really Allston/Brighton is very active to begin with, even on side it's streets, and then this will create another destination between Allston Center and...

To me the parcels with a clear purpose have the most activities. Some of these other ones are just nice point A to B paths. I would still love to see a Botanical Garden that could open up its windows in the warm months. That would be sexual.

A thing on Curbed saying how they want to build some stairs off the Gilmore bridge to cut down the walk from Community College. As a guy who walked that bridge for a little over a year I can say that thing sucks in January...

^^ Even one or two 35 story towers would really make that side of the river pop out more from the Boston side. Much like a few tall ones in Downtown.

Do we know how many 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms will be here. And what the rents will be, I imagine a rip off?

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium ^^ Then it might not happen, and it would be a net loss, and over the long term a big net loss.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium If I were Mayor Curtone, I'd be willing to give tax breaks and then some to get that stadium. If ever Somerville want's to truely stand out of Cambridge's shadow this is it. Foxborro is a who-gives-a-fuck kind of place and is known all over the US. A nice...

^^ They'd probably perfer to get a $100 check in the mail each monday too, dosn't mean it should happen. If these same individuals are also green minded, which there is a decent chance they are, they'd recognize how much energy and resources are conserved by not demolishing and then...

Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 This thing has been talked to death, resurected, then crucified with more studies and meetings. The title of this thread says it all, which began in 2006 by the way. It's relavant to note that there is already train tracks running through these...

^^ sex. ^^

Better to ask this on the open thread than to get people's hopes up. Any one heard about The Revolution building a Stadium in Somerville, or Revere or anywhere?

Re: Pier 4 Yes, to piggy back off this thought. Watermark (aka shit sandwich), the two Veretex buildings, 319 A street, and the D Flat apts, will all be coming online within the next 6 months. That is going to be a lot of added activity, not to far after that some Seaport and another Fan...

Cool! I'm friends/ ex bandmates with one of the trumpet players. Yea I'm similar with musicians like Zappa. I think that mind and approach towards music makes for amazing solos, but the composition as a whole can some times be a bit too wacky, but again other times be amazing. Basically...
