^ I thought they were invoked already. Del Fuegos! and O-Positive (80s) also, add this guilty pleasure--Private Lightning--'Physical speed, is just what I need...and I ride and I ride....' One connection between many bands that developed, promisingly, in Boston during the 70s is that...

^ White brick??! What have I missed? (Haven't been in the Kenmore area since 2007.) So... what some of you are saying is that this is okay?

Re: Columbus Center I cannot believe I am posting in this debacle of a thread. However, I am taking it off topic, as usual. Whoo Hoo. Points for me. Bay Area projects in jeopardy Construction of four carpool lanes could be shut down: Interstate 580 between Pleasanton and Livermore in...

The parenthetical is just for you, blade_bltz. Get busy! ;) I thought there was a thread devoted to this cold, damp, cloudy place already. (Seriously, though, why is it that 95% of the time I am in The City, the weather is like this? Bleagh!) Didn't find a thread for SF. (Okay, really too...

Yes. Good for a path to the front door through the garden, or encircling the private island parks in Lousiburg Square, or Union Square, or even something like Chester Square in the South End. Bad for the whole shebang. And on hills. In winter. With any precip. *shuddering* Redundancy from...

Ha! Large swaths. I envisioned them being ripped up en masse like sheets of tiles, flopping around, but with a different sounding sort of jangle than the tiles have. :) Into what does cobblestone get recycled? In the Boston in the Seventies--18-70s thread, the question was raised about the...

AWESOME! That's some good grit. (The soot and grime on the building make it for me.) And Souper Salad! (Does that still exist?) This is MY Boston! Those pictures are really how I best remember it. In this pic of the Boston Five with the street hugging the curve of the building--it is...

*sigh* Lecture versus dialog. Looks like the choice is lecture. So, Ron, this is for you since you are the only one to respond. Oakland had a vibrant downtown and entertainment district for about 40 years, until the late fifties. All the theaters and clubs from its heyday are long gone...

Primarily my objections. I've already stated a few more previously. Plus I have given it a derrogatory name, based on its design, for which I created a diagrammatical overlay explaining how somebody at SOM is laughing (unintentionally??) at the diocese. It's offensive and I will make more...

You wanna check out Boston in its heyday? My era, obviously. :p YouTube search the following bands and listen up! (This should keep some of you busy and enlightened for a bit. ;)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6RUNK9EoKA The Nervous Eaters The Neighborhoods Human Sexual Response Lyres...

Check here for a few pics of non-Boston crane gatherings. http://www.archboston.org/community/showpost.php?p=68073&postcount=62

Wow! Crossroads!! :cool: Damn. Not sure I could step foot in there again. ;) Always amazed when I read/hear of any place I used to hang that still operates in relatively the same way it did after thirty years. Too often, I am informed, on a regular basis, about what unique Boston institution...

I found a few more angles of the Cathedral under construction. (Gotta organize my hard drive/pic files someday.) And a few extra crane pics thrown in for 02124 and his disciples. ;)

Ha! Can always count on you, Ron. Not close to Jack London Square, which has often been the site of altercations, gang and cop skirmishes, general unruliness--kind of Oakland's version of Kenmore Square, without the Fenway Park-type crowd, though. The protest march snaked its way from the...

"Firehouse" from ... the Discovery Channel(?) Segments used to be on YouTube. Edit: Still are. Guy from the Netherlands has them all posted, and subtitled in Dutch, too. Heheh Damn. That sucks. I've skidded down this hill, shit, every hill ;), in Boston while driving my '74 B-210. That thing...

*sigh* Don't tell me I am going to be posting piles of pics without other forumers ever saying much. Then there will be pic loading issues with too many per page. Horrors! :rolleyes: Somebody add/say something! :( Anything...? And where's the concern for my well being? There's a riot goin'...

Niiice junkeee truuck. One thing I like about living in CA--old vehicles, out on the road, frequently (and not under cover in the carport, ummm, I mean garage, for eight to ten months of the year). However, I am not shocked and amazed, of course. This is par for the course. Doesn't matter...

Re: Filene's I agree with the very few who think this needs to retain the residential component. I'm so fed up with the short-term, tunnel-vision, bean counting mentality in planning. I don't live there now, but I certainly have lived in Boston and elsewhere, staring at unnecessarily empty...

Re: New tower at Aquarium parking garage. I really don't understand the fight against height here, unless the FAA opposes it. I had the old 60s drawings from the original three Harbor Towers plan. The third tower was taller and wider than the two existing towers. I think Harbor Towers are...

This is a Butler Building! (?) Looks like one to me. Google it for info/history. This is just sad. Consider another discussion about what constitutes good grit. What was here before would be my definition. As somebody else suggested, this could be a deliberate attempt at something...
