I don't think it's the media that has won. I think it's gay people.

Re: Sure, it's dumb Street configuration.

I could definitely be wrong. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but that's what I was led to believe. Centre City, if it existed may not have perfectly matched up with what's called Downtown Crossing now. Anyone know?

The DTX thing isn't on you guys. I understand that it's easier. It's just an annoyance of mine. I don't love the name Downtown Crossing either. Before Downtown Crossing, it was called Centre City, which I like a lot better. If the name is highly important, an idea that I have a hard time...

Am I the only one who goes a little crazier every time I read or hear "DTX". I hope they don't go with that branding. It makes the area sound like some kind of generic airport mall.

Both of you have a point. Basically, it's ridiculous that the Police should be blowing up the Dept. of Transportation's property. Not because the Police shouldn't blow up an unidentified green box chained to a street sign, but because the DoT should mark their property or otherwise alert the...

What exactly do the green and red on the map mean? Is green faster than what isn't marked? Is it slightly slower? How slow is red? Any idea? I looked on Google and couldn't come up with anything.

Seems like a very lazy design to me. It's one thing to add something new and modern to a classic old building like Penny Savings Bank. It's another thing to slap a glass and steel box on top of it. I think I could have designed that without any architectural or artistic skill. It reminds me...

I don't like it at all.

Re: I guess I'm uncivilized? There have been enough great artists who have died paupers to justify some subsidy of the arts. This is a great debate, and I think the choice of whose profession gets subsidized is always going to be arbitrary to some extent. In the end, it seems to me that...

The Mashpee got tribal recognition which could potentially allow them to open a casino. There was an article in the Globe recently about it.

I love when Dude chimes in on this subject. It makes me happy to know that we have achieved true jackass balance on this board.

Re: Sarah slams the ICA That's harsh, but I tend to agree. I think it's a great building symbolically, but it fails in many important ways. I found myself getting very frustrated when I went.

Yeah...it certainly is a band-aid, and it would be much better to add an eastbound entrance. If I were a betting man, I'd say that it would have been hard for anyone to imagine the TW Tunnel when they built the Pike and, thus, there wouldn't have been enough traffic going Eastbound from the...

Re: Dunkin Donuts is a local landmark!? I think he/they are saying that the site where they're planning to put the building is too small to accommodate the world-class museum that he envisions. Harvard seems to have avoided using such lofty language when describing the museum, but apparently...

Let's relax a little bit. This district isn't even 20% finished. I'm not saying it'll be Back Bay's equal, but University Park would be a low bar to set.

Can we hear about your SAT scores too? Maybe also any awards you may have won in grammar school. Thanks!

Why be a dick all the time?
