Could be a lot better. Clean up the beach, widen the sidewalks, repave the roads and the seawall. Build housing (or some other form of a streetwall) to separate the beach from the container yard.

Density without urbanity.

Clean up the area around it, add housing, some food, and get rid of the shipping yard would make the biggest difference. Perhaps cleaning up the water (dredge the bay, cover the bottom with gravel and then gradually finer-grained sand).

How about a woman that binge drinks?

Speaking of sexy, I cannot wrap my mind around how starkly beautiful the Upper West Side Apple Store is. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson just astounds me. Especially when it's devoid of any life.

Ditto. Amusement parks will not satisfy your issues with boredom for more than a day.

Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center 311' would block views and be one of the tallest on the skyline?

Probably gives more berth for larger vessels, especially if it's a deep water pier. More room to maneuver. Just a guess, though.

Pretty cool alternative to Google, provides answers to Bing. Much narrower, but can typically be more concise and informative. Wolfram Alpha (Boston Query)

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Either way, I <3 the new Blue Line cars. Hopefully they replace the entire fleet with them. Although, those Red Line trains are very spacious.

Personally, though, I'm all about the larger hub airports taking the lion's share of the business. That's the beauty of (high speed) rail - it can more efficiently serve the regional routes that airlines are currently burdened with.

I'm a little but surprised that Barnstable is third, but I guess that's because it always seems like Providence and Manchester are in Massachusetts.

I can kind of see the 3D.

Now that sound like a much cooler idea than the High Line.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) Dude, relax. Sicilian is always pretty respectful and typically contributes to good discussion (and doesn't bitch).

There is no truth in this world. Is that the moral of the story?

I've got to ask - prior to seeing the High Line, did anyone actually think keeping the highway up was a good idea? I sure as hell didn't, even though I can see the potential now.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) I am thoroughly confused.

Considering most of what I know of architecture and urbanism has come from this board and personal experience (and Jane Jacobs' book,) when I get to school, I'll hopefully have my own preconceived notions of design before the teachers can get to me.

Saw Sam Adams at the HOB last night. That is one hell of a concert venue, even if the exterior architecture is tragically cartoonish.
