Well, so much for considering Brookline, Newton, Allston, Brighton as places to live now. ;) underground--I have friends who live in the Salem/Peabody and Newburyport areas, all of whom now work in Lynn when their small companies relocated from Boston, Cambridge, and inside 128. I suspect it...

Whoa. I've been all over the place, posting tonight. Now it's 11pm ... my time, of course. How'd that happen?! I've come back to hide in my own little corner again. Time to change the subject matter, as I do best. The deYoung is sooo last year. Actually three years ago now. Heh This is...

Re: Columbus Center Oh, I'm sorry. This is abuse. Thanks for the set up, Ron. Damn. I caved. Promised I would't say anything in this thread again unless it was to ooooh and aaaah at pretty renderings.

Re: Fenway Center (One Kenmore, Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) I am going to date myself here, but wasn't Fathers Too in that building? I always liked the way it punctuated that corner, too. Oakland has a number of buildings that resemble it. I always think of it when I see them out here. One of...

Re: W Hotel I'm... I'm... I'm speechless. WTF?! When will the stupidity stop. Please make it stop. Okay, then. I'll take it one step further than all of you. I want my subsidized unit IN the W, thank you, cuz I deserve it. I've paid my own way, in full, retail not wholesale, for far too...

I know I've been away for quite a while, but did Lansdowne Street ever die?

Re: BRA approves Emerson College's Paramount Center Absolutely cz. All the griping about how Boston doesn't get anything unusual, but this is. I wasn't sure this design was going to work, based on the renderings. (And it's an Elkus. *shuddering*) However, I'm amused. It's subtle enough...

^ Hahaha! Really think that was serious? Nothing much out here is worthy of being taken seriously at first. Imagine all the ludicrous stuff proposed that never leaves the room, so to speak. As for the Grand Lake Theater: Michaan is known to use his liberal politics as a guide in managing the...

Everything Campbell says above makes a whole lot of sense, as everything he says often does. He's a very measured, calculated, and reasonable man. And then there's those pesky contradictions. Anyway, sense never seems to rule, other than somebody will come along one day, regardless of outside...

^ Ohhhhhhhhhh. Purdy. This is what I always dreamed my childhood home would resemble, once I realized my parents were looking at new homes outside Dorchester. Instead, we got not a second, maybe not even a third rate disciple of FLW, in a decent-enough burb, where at least this architect's...

From talk all over the board, doesn't sound like there is anyone primed to be next in line. Certainly no consensus for anyone in the forefront anyway. That could be a good thing. Somebody arriving out of nowhere may have a chance. Short time to file intent, though, it seems. Or am I...

Ha! When somebody told me he had died, I immediately thought to come here and say something, too, even though the Cramps weren't Boston-based. I got to see them play a few times back in the day. Speaking of seeing now-deceased people back in the day, I'm feeling the same way I felt when...

It does what a museum like this should do, in my estimation--makes you feel its power.

Re: South Station Tower - Full Steam Ahead! Actually, a prior attempt was made during the late 80s. That rendering may have been posted waaaaay back in this thread. May have had a proposal previous to the 80s, too.

Official christening is this Thursday. All the info you'll want and need: Friends of the Oakland Fox http://www.foxoakland.org/ Fox Oakland Theater Restoration Project http://www.oaklandfox.com/ All the temporary buildings have been removed, finally, from the rear half of the property...

Re: New tower at Aquarium parking garage. Somebody pined for a Trump-like venture in Boston. Well, ya got it! Trump lite? Well, not really, because you got some terra cotta stripes to offset Trump's typically all glass curtain walls. (Plus, at least they're vertical stripes this time! See...

What? No fawning over the pups? Ya'll too distracted by the man behind the shiny, new Ikea cabinets/hutches? (aka Mr. Chiofaro) ;) As the the Fox Theater renovations progressed: As a point of reference from commencement of restoration and forward, here are two pics of...

Imagine me, pushing a thread back on topic, sorta. (Okay. I'm deflecting the immediately previous discussion.) Encourage more of these? I can't see how this would suffice during extreme cold, snow, sleet, or any persistent, inclement Northeast winters (like the one you're having...

Considering ablarc's blunt critique, I'd like you to consider the correlation to any brutalist structure in Boston. Do their insertions into that climate make sense? City Hall? Lindemann/Hurley/State Services Center? Harbor Towers? (Add your fave, offensive, concrete structure in for...
