    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Overall, the nation's homeless numbers are 13 percent lower than they were in 2010 and some communities have all but eliminated homelessness among veterans, emphasized HUD Secretary Ben Carson.

    [CANCELED] Summer St. Gondola

    On its own, good enough. But, yes, it can be extended, anywhere there's sky. The Greenway, maybe? And, yes, I think there's enough room down Summer Street - there was when they proposed an elevated highway going from Park Street to Winter to Summer to South Station, back in the day ...

    Rosa Parks Boulevard

    "Washington" may mean something to you and me but to most people, it's the name of a street, like Lafayette.

    [CANCELED] Summer St. Gondola

    It's a means of transportation for those going to and from the developer's new project and South Station. It's not more; it's not less. Everyone loosen up your girdles.

    Boston in the 1960's

    1) in the top photo, the area around Gillette (upper left corner of image) is cleared of any buildings - was this something new or was it always like that? 2) They buried the Artery through Dewey Square but why not the rest of it? There'd have to be a significant decline coming off the 93/1...

    South Bay Center Expansion | Dorchester

    Coincidentally, Target Corp bought its building today according to the Registry. $12.25 million. Nice return on original developer's investment, I'd guess.

    New Ideas for the Site

    I didn't want to post on the HQ2 thread and didn't want to post in Open Thread, so here I am. I don't think anyone should be banned b/c that's not how the internet works and there are always a few who like what many of us dislike. It seems obvious to me that some people have blocked me; why...

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Thank you. I'm not sure what they have at One Summer, then. Markley’s One Summer street location is New England’s primary telecommunications facility and only “Carrier Hotel”. Home to over 90 different carriers and network providers, One Summer offers clients unlimited bandwidth, high density...

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Does anyone know what the deal is with Boston and AWS - Amazon's cloud service? There's some big presence inside the Jordan Marsh (sic) building, right? Or is that just office space. A company called the Markley Group owns that building. http://www.markleygroup.com/about-markley Would there be...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    Yes and there was some pushback from some South Enders including Mel King and ... what's his name. They wanted that to stay open so the 39 could park there. Instead, apparently the stop will be on St James (where it already stops, one way).

    The New Office/Lab Thread

    That's great news about Wayfair. They seem to have made a concerted effort to stay within the city. (A co-founder lives in the South End and can walk to work.) Admirable, and makes sense if they want to get nearby talent. (Although with a starting salary ~$600/week, many have to live outside the...

    Back Bay Garage Tower | Dartmouth and Stuart | Back Bay

    In an alternate universe where a couple of office buildings go up every couple of months, no one would even notice this one. But, Boston. So few things to navel-gaze over, it gets unnecessary attention.

    SBWTC /South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center | Seaport

    They haven't added any "cladding" during the past few weeks, as far as I can tell. There was a person out there yesterday (Friday) so maybe some movement. My fear is that nothing will be done during the winter months since it looks like they're gluing the exteriors on?

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    Could someone please clarify, in a sentence, what needed to be approved? There was the original project; approved years ago. Revised project; approved year(s) ago. Right?
