Shouldn't you be asking, 'Please, sir. Can I have some more.' (Misquoted, I know. Dis daddy dun kno no bettah.) Look what I found while cleaning up/organizing my pic files. From March 2007 (Again, blurry, as is often the case with my pics, when taken while on a moving bike.) Ron Ron Ron...

It's as general as it sounds. (Have your own 'East Bay' elsewhere? Sure! Put stuff here.) Plus, there'll be no San Francisco here. Nothing touristy to see. Some of you may want to move along. Some grit, some graft, some grist for the mill. Pile on your own cliches. Add to it with impunity...

Keep encouraging me; I'll keep posting the photos I have.;) (Clearly, these have been messed with. The color is still not right.) As much as I object(ed) to this building--what it stands for, where it is sited, actually, the overall site plan, the materials, especially where it relates...

Despite liking the way The Clarendon is progressing--it looks much more handsome in person than in the renderings--I prefer views of the Hancock Tower when it stood alone, especially when looking toward its narrow sides. I'm going to modify my fawning. I see what Stern was trying to do with...

Re: Gov't Center Garage Redevelopment I may be parroting parts of other posts behind me. Personally, I don't care if they build 'too tall' here--30, 50, 70 stories makes little difference. I don't even want a unified design--essentially, that's what all these proposals do. However, (biiiig...

This has been floating around for a few years. Don't believe I've noticed it posted here yet. Holiday Plans [Note: Sorry if this is sized a bit large--any smaller and the readability and details get lost.] Oh, btw--bah, humbug!

Fitchburg doesn't look too bad. In fact, it looks pretty damn good ... considering. I was expecting it to look like ... downtown Brockton or, worse, Lawrence--the last time I saw that city, it was pretty ghastly. Recently, I caught some online weather feeds during your storms and they were...

Interior, yes, I could see that influence. Though I think it pays homage to an older generation of venerated architects, including some ancient cultures. Exterior, not sure how I would categorize it. During a formal tour, the word 'sensual' was used a few times. People giggled, nervously.:)...

Now this is my idea of a real city. It looks even better now than I remember. (Been over 15 years since I've been there.) I like to see that some of the mill buildings remain for commerical and light manufacturing, rather than being turned into loft condos or whatever. Ruins are great, but...

That Swindon Roundabout is a work of ART.:cool:

These are general comments, not directed at anyone in particular. (Okay, I'm lying. Check out my shifty eyes.) My reference, as always, is Oakland, which has Jack London Square (JLS). It has been an erratic venture, for its intended purpose and, ultimately, a failure, forty years on, as a...

Agree that Ron's comment on page one was very amusing.:D I did the Heath Street one last month! (Unintentionally. Got lost around JP. Have I been gone from living in Boston that long that I cannot remember how to get around?:() I also saw a few other rotaries in locations I never noticed...

Would Bostonians ever go for this in their neighborhoods? I think not. Whoa! Don't get too close! Emeryville, CA. Last weekend. Three of us--one local/native, one transplant from upstate NY, one transplant from the East Coast (me), all old(er) and all of whom should know better...

There are other threads on this theme. Some of them from the olden days, maybe lost in the crash. Reading this one sent me over the edge. (Yet again, tonight.) Boston has plenty of nightlife. Just because it isn't conveniently situated in one dynamic, packed, segregated locale (nor should it...

JetBlows 'The' fiasco? They've had numerous, and I always seem to be flying with them when these occur. When they have a problem, it's big, because they've refused to 'partner' with anybody. Flight delayed or canceled--tough. That's the JetBlow model. Jaded. I fly too much. It used to be...

Da Bears! I am an East Bay kinda guy, too. Did not like SF. (Oh, horrors!) Tried it for about three years, after running away from NYC. Didn't feel as if I changed locale all that much. (I KNOW that is going to confound some people--you gotta live it to know it.) Can't say I would ever...

What?! Where's the curiosity? Did I miss a post elsewhere about this and everyone is familiar with it (or tired of it) already?! Awriiiight. Here are a few more... before I publicly disparage it. Jebus luvs U My fave view from behind the altar in the choir through the lattice work

Thanks for the detailed evaluation, Lrfox. I can't think of anything else to ask.;) I was always fascinated by what Lowell went through during its 80s resurgence. Two of my 'pioneering' friends lived there before it 'turned around,' so I got to watch it develop rather closely, likely as you...

Lrfox--New Bedford's looking good. Glad to see this. However, is it more than just surface? What are they doing to differentiate it from any other rebounding seaport community. (I have been catching up with your postings, btw.) Not that I like comparisons such as this: is it trying to be...

Sorry to take you off topic a bit here. http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=1078&page=5 Start here with the pic in post #43 and follow along with the subsequent pics I will add this week. Sadly, I had a hard drive meltdown last year. My backup drive was also corrupted. I...
