Luckily the project description says, "The retail space will be designated to allow the existing restaurant to return to the present location when the new building is completed." This looks pretty good. None affordable, though?

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District There's something really creepy about the way you use "the nimby" (in the singular) to refer to a group of people.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District I really could do without these animal metaphors. Ditto the echoes of Nixon's (and now Trump's) political rhetoric. Calm the eff down.

With music from the forthcoming soundtrack to Good Will Hunting II: Hunting Season.

Re: Storm surge in Boston Sorry to keep this going, but Whigh is so painfully wrong that I can't leave his word soup unchallenged. So, quickly, a few points: You are completely wrong about the GISS data. Here's a fairly extended explanation of why...

Does any of it liken him to mass murderers and rapists?

Agreed. With all due respect to his other contributions here, I think that post was a load of purblind, inarticulate, inaccurate, and ungrammatical garbage.

Re: South Station Tower My guess is we won't see a whole lot of the tower from right in from of South Station (the corner of Summer and Atlantic) because the old station building will block much of it. We'd have to stand further away but even across the street or a block down, perspective will...

Re: South Station Tower I believe this is new: Not sure about this one:

Whoa, what the hell is that?

I could do without the gold accoutrement (too fussy), but that's definitely better.

Beacon Anna's is definitely still there. (I live across the street and nab 11PM burritos far too often.) I've heard good things about Los Amigos (the place that replaced Boca) but I haven't been there yet. IMO, Dorado is the best Mexican in the area. About this project: density is good, but...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District As a rule I favor on-site affordable housing (integration is better than separation), but the ACDC is a solid organization, and I hope this development is approved and is a further boon to their efforts.

Do you mean the building with the grey stone in front? That's where the Barnes & Noble used to be--the stone had the logo on it. The owner sought too much rent, Barnes moved out, and now it lies fallow. It's been that way for a decade.

Sorry, but that's an unbelievably charitable way to characterize what he does--multiple times a day, every day.

Captain Logorrhea strikes again. The same ranting, Manichean post, every day, on every thread. People call you out and then you go to a different thread, and then you start again. I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of others here when I say: shut the hell up, for good. Stop posting. Leave...

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Yeah, except none of the people you are referring to believe that. Not one. And they're not the ones whining. Take this garbage somewhere else.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Sorry, but how is this the "biggest NIMBY article I have ever seen"? It's pretty much straight reporting: quotes, expository material, that's it. Your comment doesn't follow from the text at all.

Re: Simon Tower Cancelation There's a thread for this already: http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=1113&page=102
