    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but I also don't put Boston on the same level as Detroit or Pittsburgh- those 2 cities are in no way close to Boston in terms of growth, popularity, demand for various industries (med, tech, education, finance, etc), or just overall draw. I don't think anyone in the...

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Well that's good news and a step in the right direction. Too bad this, like almost everything else here, will move at half the pace of every other city's construction.

    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    For better or for worse, that side of the building looks like it has been there for the last hundred years, just receiving a freshening. I guess that's the point. The right side though... umm... I guess I'll withhold final judgement til it's totally done, but I'm not a fan of the...

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    I walked by here last Wednesday and there were dozens of workers on site doing their thing. So I guess it depends when you go by, but as many of us have seen, this site is quite active and moving along, though it's difficult to see the physical evidence. It has in no ways been put on hold, as...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I'm all for infill, but this is depressing... so many 300-400' and nothing significant to stand out and make a statement. I just so desperately want to get something larger than Hancock, approaching 1000'. This city's skyline is great- dense, quite filled-in, but nothing stands above the rest to...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Since it will be taller than MT, it should loom above and to the sides from this angle. Luckily it has completely different surfacing and coloring from MT so it won't look like one big mish-mashed building.

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    I wish this building was 80-100 feet taller to give it that much more presence and fill in the spine of Back Bay.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Or else they should've made it one big, connected building and put it up simultaneously with the Sudbury.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Oh yea, it just makes the Pru look slightly fatter on one side. I guess I thought it would be further to the right of the Pru from those angles. I would love to see this video with all of the currently under construction buildings rendered in (Alcott, Winthrop, South Station, and all the...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    It's interesting that 1 Dalton isn't shown at all in the background of this video yet all Hub on Causeway buildings are shown completed. It had to have been finished or close to finished when this video was made.

    I use ellipses as a pregnant pause, one that is longer than would be read with a comma. They are certainly overused nowadays, and I am just as guilty as others.

    It isn't proper because in all of those cases it should be "have" and not "of". It's because "could've", "would've", "should've" are all contractions containing "have" and when you say them, the "'ve" sounds a bit like "of", so people type it like it sounds. I've had conversations with people I...

    Make it a little bigger next time.

    Not to be "that guy", but I think this site is filled with highly educated people, so when I see "could of" or "would of" instead of "could've" or "would've", it just makes me scratch my head. I see it all over social media by people with advanced degrees, but I also saw it in posts by the...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    The confusing part is when the same exit has different numbers depending on what direction you're traveling. The Washington St./ Mishawum Rd exit in Woburn has 2 different numbers- exit 36 (what is always has been) and then the other way it's like 54 or something. Very confusing when giving...

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    It's kinda weird that the glass on the top/crown shows as a different color than the rest, and that throws off the cohesiveness of the design. I wonder if it will look darker after everything is done and all the mechanicals or whatever are up there.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    Plus anything to plug up those 2 awful holes that look down on the Pike/ tracks from alternate sides of Boylston. I was hoping that parcels 13 & 14/15(?) would've been built before 12, as cool as this one will be.

    Same! I'm not proud of the things I did at the Machine in my 20s...
