LOL ^^now that's a good joke!

It?s a fairly simple rule for us grown-ups: Innuendos regarding politicians and their performance || ?the line of appropriateness? || Sexual innuendos and "jokes" regarding their families

Yes please do delete. There's a line of inappropriateness and AFL crossed it big time.

^I?m happy to the first person on this forum to agree with you! I'm sooo bored by these ?iconic? towers. Although the detailing and ?greenness? of the Gherkin building are remarkable, I think its form is appalling?.likewise the Cheese Grater and the unicorn horn and the walkie-talkie and most...

Re: Suffolk Dorms / Modern Theatre Two [what-I-assume-to-be] original stone columns are now in place at the lobby entry. Someone who is better prepared than I will have to take a pic for us.

I love the juxtaposition with the three dock piles (or whatever the right word is) and IP2!

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) ^^NO don't do that!!! Your regular photo-postings are one of the main reasons I keep coming back here.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) No...at least not yet...still way too many parking lots to judge, but I agree that One Marina Park is not a promising start.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) ^^You had me with Vancouver, but lost me with these last two images - those are some butt-ugly, relentlessly repetative buildings.

Nor am I, but I will gladly defend their right to preach.

Yes, absolutely! AND...a church is in the business of saving souls. Jesus welcomed Mary Magdalene into His flock, but by no means did He then say to her "go ahead...hit those streets again; just do it with love this time." Not only is it a church's right to refuse to condone behavior that is...

^^Not quite. When Jesus said "Love thy neighbor", He didn't mean that in loving them, you also have to give blessing to their actions. That's the gist of it. I agree that too much time and energy is wasted on this, but I don't agree that because a church's refusal to condone specific secular...

...pretty impressive news today on boston.com: "Boston?s House of Blues sold more tickets last year than any other club in the world. According to Pollstar, the concert industry?s trade publication, the House of Blues sold 314,597 tickets in 2009, restoring luster to the city?s diminished...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Very well said indeed. Your passion is to your credit, and I actually agree with you. I, for one, would chain myself (almost) to the Dainty Dot building to keep it from the wrecking ball - I LOVE that building even more than the SC&L. I too...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion ...and I have to ask again...how is kicking off a major project in a recession and keeping a major company headquartered in Boston either "short term thinking" or "a net negative"? The city has "too much" of what? Keeping Liberty Mutual's...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion Please explain, Itchy. This is a new project that brings hundreds of jobs in construction, engineering and design (industries that are tanking right now), keeps a major company headquartered in Boston, brings over a thousand permanent jobs into...

I had the exact same reaction. This is exciting both for the MFA and the city of Boston. Edgers' rediculous one-liner about Mr. Cambell's hat and his "aroma" of cigarettes is utterly pointless. Edgers' aroma of elitism bothers me a lot more than cigarettes. But I wholeheartedly agree: "Yay...

You people have lost some perspective here...actully a LOT of perspective. The highway had character??? The parks are worse??? Catastrophe??? Seriously??? I vividly recall the highway too; I work right across from where it used to be, and what I vividly recall is noise, pollution...

Re: Gardner Museum to undertake $60 million expansion Yawn...another glass and metal box... The references to Richardson and FLW and Bernini...makes me yearn for a rebirth of craftsmanship in commercial architecture. Someone tell me it's not dead...anyone...anyone...
