Oh... should look harder but I'm pretty sure it's attached and possibly using the roof of the first floor as a balcony of sorts. As far as I know it's essentially the upper two floors of the building. I just said "in the back" in reference to the fact that those floors sit back away from the street.

Here's a small one from my neighborhood. Over the winter and spring the defunct building at Western Ave and Dodge Street was replaced by new ground floor retail space and a residential building popping up in the back; they did keep the old facade. Not sure if they have a tenant for the ground...

Wow, nicely done! Probably the clearest chronology I've come across. Looking forward to studying it more.

Thanks for the clarification, BostonUrbEx. Speaking of animated history, have you folks seen this (or is one of you even responsible for it)? http://ugcs.net/~arapp/ttimeline/ Decade-by-decade maps of the system.

That's my map—glad you guys like it! Oh good, so did I guess correctly on that map by showing the Court Street station not connected to the (future) Green Line? The summarized histories I was reading made it sound like the station was practically in the same spot as Scollay Square, but it was...

Whoa, I haven't been around here much lately! Thanks for making one of mine a co-winner! You guys are right that the Beacon Hill photo is, I don't know, a cliche or something, but I'll take the votes! Boston02124, it's an honor to share a tie with you. That is such a magnificent shot—my...

So has anybody seen any actual information about Cambridge/Somerville expansion? We do all remember those "Hubway will expand to Cambridge and Somerville when it reopens in the spring" news stories from a few months ago, right? nobody, I hate to be one of those crotchety internet people, but I...

It's from last year, but I ran across this one while looking through my stuff today. Somewhere in the Cambridge/Somerville borderlands:

Thanks, folks. By the way, that map is based on 57 stations, which are what exist in the three days of October data released for this contest. Weren't there supposed to be a few more stations (60 or so)? Does anybody know offhand if there were a few that never happened in the fall, or else were...

Made a quick map the other day in the process of more interesting things. The ideal bike routes—according to Google—between each Hubway station and every other Hubway station as they existed in the fall (neglected to mark them on the map):

^Nice. I'm torn between asking exactly what that vantage point is and figuring it out by Google Maps sleuthing. Here are a couple from yesterday, looking across Pleasure Bay.

Agree on both counts, as a resident of this immediate neighborhood. I usually see at least a few people in the park when it's not winter; and indeed I am within spitting distance of a ton of parks and open space. I love the new little park, but we've got plenty now!

Nice to see my neighborhood in one of those Cambridge pics! Hey, wasn't it supposed to snow today? Here are a few random shots from the one time it did snow last month.

Lots of great shots, DZH22! You sure find some interesting vantage points. Here's a somewhat heavily Photoshopped one from a couple of months ago. It was that first Sunday off DST, i.e. the first day when the sun set in the middle of the freakin' afternoon.

Hey, thanks for those nods! I forgot that I did anything at all besides lurk here!

I live across the street from this housing (10 Akron St, the big one, not the triple deckers)... I need to read through this whole thread! Nice photos, kz1000ps. I'm very happy with the park, and although in your photos there's some spillover from the river festival, I've never seen it empty...

Wow, great shot! Is that looking pretty much upward? That storm didn't amount to a whole lot, but the lightning was pretty insane.

This is interesting to think about. To me it does seem to be true that in spite of how it feels, most streets are not very crooked and weird. Overall it seems like a patchwork of small street systems that make sense internally?the given examples of Beacon Hill, the South End, and the Back Bay...

Seconded! As to the video, it being the History Channel I was worried for a minute that they'd accept the cow paths thing as truth.

Aw shucks, thanks! I was far from alone on the BU Bridge taking moon photos, any many of those other people looked a lot better prepared, so hopefully some great shots will surface.
