Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) I actually don't know the arguments for why this building is important. Is being old enough of a reason? It's not really architecturally important is it? It seems pretty plain to me.

Re: South Boston Seaport If the private is profiting so is the public. Just not as much as they would be if there were no tax subsidies.

Re: Liberty Wharf (Jimmy's Harborside) The sports bar is apparently doing very well, that warm day last I heard there was an hour wait to be seated.

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) What is so great about the YMCA building? I fail to see why this building is worth preserving.

Why is the park on that street so enormous? If something's going to take away from the urban feel here, it won't be the streets it'll be the broad open spaces. And the plans show another huge park is designated to be right across Northern Ave. from it. It's going to be a very windy neighborhood.

Re: Liberty Wharf (Jimmy's Harborside) The side building is going to be a bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Another tidbit, there isn't parking nearby for this building so the restaurant customers and even office tenants have their cars valet parked in a lot near WTC station.

this reminds me of the west end.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) is it hated? I love it, I am an architect though not a snob. this building is the brightest thing on the skyline, at least from East Boston's perspective.
