Let's start out with a few pics that may totally disorient you. (heheh) Have fun figuring out which end is up. (I didn't crop one pic expertly, so you can figure it out without much eye strain.) I will post more tomorrow.

Ron: Yes. Oakland would suffer from not having UC Berkeley nearby, which had its roots in Oakland, btw. Their system-wide HQ is in downtown Oakland. I would be interested to see stats documenting the number of students, staff, and faculty who live in Oakland, El Cerrito, Albany and Emeryville...

Hmmm.... My future is laid out before me. ;) Was this timed to appear because I was back on the board? In the past, I haven't been shy about exclaiming that Paul Rudolph is one of my idols. His buildings in Boston, that many of you vilify, primarily his collaborative effort in Government...

How many of you have ever lived in California... recently. Reading what some of you have written all over this forum, I know you have not. I want to repeat something that I?ve said before that often gets my goat on this forum. Too many people on this site are too definitive when they are...

PPffft. Oh my gawd! Pompous asses. :p (Am I still allowed to be personally judgmental on this board or have we gone all politically correct?) I just got back from only my third 'winter' excursion to the northeast in fifteen years. I loathe that dusk arrives over an hour earlier in Boston...

Then check this out! :) http://www.archboston.org/community/showpost.php?p=65855&postcount=47

As people here often do. Aside (not directed at anyone specifically, yet, including kennedy): Many on this board try to be so amusing that, ultimately, it results in a failure to communicate much of anything clearly as they trip over their self-perceived cleverness. (I am in a pissy mood...

Okay. Then explain Patriot Place to me. This is what you will see as you enter anywhere along Route 1. Vile. The entire Place is currently turned inward. After all these years, you'd think planners of malls would have learned by now. Granted, I haven't seen the full site plan. Future use for...

Oakland's fallout bunker for the armageddon Only took this because I was trying to get the four construction cranes in the shot.

If somebody had some foresight... ...maybe this drink coaster would have been a better impetus for a unifying theme. :p

My new fave thread, Boston 02124. (Also, I like pics taken from moving vehicles.) A few other posters have contributed, so I thought I would. People here overlook the surrounding towns' important contributions to the Boston metro area, and seem to forget these so-called, mis-identified...

What I did on my Thanksgiving vacation by garbribre I am surprised that nobody has taken any pictures over the past two years, despite a few posters who said they would take some. These are for all you pre-construction freaks. Mounds of rubble. Wanna climb it! Wanna scavenge! Who gives good...

Cathedral of Christ the Light. Google it for all the info you'll ever want to know. New home for the 'Catholic' Church. It's all so shifty, actually. Too tired to argue its (de)merits right now. The interior is spectacular, I will say that. The bunker that surrounds it--vile. I cut off...

I'll carry it on the plane with me this week. Early bird gets free shipping! PM me and we'll arrange a time to make the exchange. Everyone else, you got less than 24 hours for free courier service. Somebody's got to want the BSA book. Thought that would go first. It's the first public...

Jealous? You must be 'new'. Just reaching out to my old 'friends,' with whom I have a history here, and in my own way, after being off the board for ... two and a half years--wow. If you think I write like I'm high, well, so be it. :) Marblehead and St. Louis, eh? That's an interesting...

Checked with Briv and he said this would be acceptable on the forum. I have the following books I'd rather sell to one of you locals than allow some Oaklander/East Bay-er get their grubby mitts on them first.;) I know some of you will be salivating over these. Some of them have been around...

Re: 1330 Boylston Street Okay. I'll be the judge of this. ;) Who's taking me on a taqueria crawl, Boston-style? Then we can start a food critique section. Pft! Seriously, though, when I came out west to live, I couldn't go back to anything I ate in the Northeast that billed itself as...

Damn it! I can post quick replies, but not start a new post or 'Go Advanced.' This is what happens when you leave the flock, like a true maverick. (But do true mavericks ever return to the flock? Aaahhhhh. That's the question, sprouts.) You wankers are all still at it, eh? Heheheh Let's...

I think it would be an eye opener if any of you would dig out an old road map, even from as recently as the 1970s, to see what is defined (in yellow) as an urban core. I had one... somewhere. Towns many of you would consider suburban, bedroom communities of the present were considered urban...

Because nobody's as brave (or foolhardy) as you, DTDave. Watch your back boy. I know where you live. :)
