...totally agree with the Padre. I have only seen this fountain at night and in that context have found it to be utterly captivating. Equally captivating is watching how passers-by react to the fountain's choreography. The color-changing-light-blade-sculpture-things are great as a back drop.

...must be a mistake...Market Street already exists - it's the 2-block long street between [what's left of] the tip of the Bulfinch Triangle and the Government Center Garage.

I guess it's about time that I got into the image posting scene. AdamBC made it sound simple enough in reply to rayray...I think I can handle it. A couple shots from the top of the Dock Square garage: 60 State and 28 State forming a gateway to the Financial District Pointy hats

It's time for someone to grab a camera and take a few new shots of this project. The steel is up to about the 10th floor as of today.

Today is that day... I was in the neighborhood this morning - they're starting to take it down on the "building" next to the arcade entry.

No need to despair yet, Lexicon. I can tell you that the roof garden still exists, the light reflectors still exist, the glass covered plaza still exists...the only thing not currently in the scope is external elevators.

I have a fair amount of business at various buildings along the Greenway and have watched these parks evolve over the course of the last year. Sure, they're probably a bit over-cooked, trying to be both edgy and pastoral at the same time. But what they're missing right now in their current...

...they weren't just teasing us. As of lunch time today, the only vehicle in the parking lock was a back hoe.

The arcade, which is essentially tacked onto the back of the Mandarin, will become an extension of the current retail mall, connecting the existing mall with new retail within the Mandarin (L'espalier being the first tenant to come out) and ultimately leading to Lord and Taylor. Because the...
