As a journalism student, I despise Patch. Good idea gone horribly wrong. As for the building, I don't hate it. Nice scale, big windows, contemporary without being obtrusive. Perfect filler.

Ha, yes, I'm alive. I've gotten spread quite thin amongst social networks and what-not. Plus, it's hard to keep up with Boston development when you live in Missouri and Minnesota most of the time. Anyways, I'll definitely keep an eye out for your shows. In the meantime, Spotify will have to do...

KZ - do you expect to be playing any more local shows this summer? I'd love to come out and see you guys.

Re: Mass Mental Health Center Redevelopment/ Brigham & Women's Mixed Use Complex Hiya, 1960! In all honesty though, I don't hate this. I like the louvers, and they'd be even better if those silly terra cotta colored alucobond panels weren't there.

I can't help but feel like this is a garbage location for such a nice restaurant. They better do a damn good job with the interior, because otherwise, it will seem like another generic business-oriented steak house. I'd assume they want to maintain the old-world, intensely sophisticated feel of...

They do that here too? The Walker Art Center up in Minneapolis does the same deal, but I figured it was limited to MPLS, seeing as Target basically sponsors every cultural event in the damn city.

I'll say this: I stopped coming (often) when we stopped discussing architecture and planning and ideas (part of this is due to the economy, the other seems to be a dearth of imaginative posts) and started bitching about politics, Menino, and the BRA. I don't live in Boston for ten months of the...

Really awesome view of the John Hancock Tower through Google Maps aerial view.

God, The Economist being housed in a Brutalist building was so damn appropriate.

Yup. Sometime I'll post pics of the skywalks in Minneapolis. You can traverse the entire city (almost) without going outdoors.

I think telephone poles are the bane of an urban sidewalks.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development Ha, I see what you did there.

Re: Mass Art Dormitory Erm...I woke up at 11 and there is no way I'm making it in to Boston by noon. I'm definitely down to try and attend one of the other Common Boston events as a meetup, though.

About 8 months ago I tried to think up what a carousel designed by Rem Koolhaas would look like on this site. Needless to say, trying to think like Rem Koolhaas is a major bitch.

Re: Mass Art Dormitory Hell, a meetup a might actually be able to attend? I'll do my damnedest to be there. Did anyone decide on a good location to meet beforehand?

Re: Mass Art Dormitory Woah, wait up, you went to the Island School?

I was in there a week or so ago, everything in the lobby seemed very temporary and underwhelming. A few nice touches around the reception desk, though. I'm sorry to say it, but this building needs to be torn down or given a very serious renovation. Massing is alright, but the PoMo styling is...

Yeah, what are they going to do with Louis Boston? The rendering showed the new building just about right on top of the site. If I were Fallon, I'd probably want to build on the lot between the courthouse and the first Fan Pier building. That way, the harbor views are retained for the longest...

Re: Filene's This guy here.

I actually may try and check this out. Any idea if it's just show up and sit down, or do we need to RSVP or something of the like?
