    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    Could that be an issue with your browser? The thread titles are definitely a larger font than that creator/created date. It may not be a big contrast, but they do appear to be different sizes.

    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    Small correction. It shows the username and the date the thread was created, not when they joined aB. I think it's worthwhile showing when a thread was started.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    When you say that they don't want it, what are you referring to? The overall plan of decking sunnyside or just the use of it as park space?

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    According to the building website it looks like most of the tower is vacant. The floors that are shaded blue are the vacant ones.

    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    I had a thought for a way that we may be able to keep the project info & most recent renderings of a project easy to find. Create a separate sub forum just for renderings that is locked/restricted so that only moderators can make posts (if that's possible). Then whenever a new render is released...

    XenForo Update

    I used this frequently as well, but if you look under the title, there will be a sequence of numbers that represent the last few pages. I've just been using those to navigate directly to the last page, and it works fine.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Hey all, I wanted to share a site that a friend is working on to document this project, and I thought you guys would appreciate. The site is https://ironcladphoto.com/winthrop-square-gallery/. He is working with the developer/contractors/unions to document this project so it gives him access...

    I can't stand that new building right near the Manhattan bridge. It's just so out of place.

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    This one made me chuckle, and is evidence of why we need like buttons in the new forum.

    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    Eh yes and no. They're only testing it at certain stations along the 4/5/6 and it's been works for a while. I think I first heard the grumblings of a fare replacement system before I moved down here almost 5 years ago. I also feel personally that MTA is starting somewhat starting from behind...

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    The building has a maintenance pit, so my guess is that it's a small maintenance shed to make adjustments in between test runs.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Those are metal studs. They're used to frame wall & ceilings. And to answer your question, not reusable at all.

    UMass Amherst Developments

    http://www.umass.edu/transportation/apply-now-be-bus-driver Assuming it's all the same as when I went there, they always need drivers. So as long as your son has a good driving record, and can handle driving a 15 passenger van as part of the interview, he should have no problem getting a job...

    UMass Amherst Developments

    I frequent the capital projects page once every few months just to see whats going on, and as an Alum I try and get back to Amherst at least once a year. It's crazy how much both the campus and town center have changed even in the short time I've been out of school. Additionally, if your son is...

    It wasn't their first choice either. They were trying to build a new HQ in the seaport and for whatever reason it didn't happen, So they just decided to add on to their existing building.

    ...or even worse, they may have their car keyed/windows bashed in for parking in a spot that someone else pretended to shovel out for 5 minutes.

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Observer has a pretty good write-up of the short-listed cities. Mostly stuff we already know, but a good concise rundown of what each city is offering. And just because of how ridiculous this is: Don't know how he could pass that one up.
