Re: Boston Tea Party Museum There is a ship at the museum today. It currently is mastless - I assume so that it could fit under the bridges entering FP Channel - specifically the Moakley Bridge.

Re: The Victor Steel is going up.

The labyrinth - almost complete

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion There's a 4-story section of limestone showing on the base of the building. It's behind the right-hand crane on Columbus. The articulation and detailing are quite nice - timeless, I would add. Which of our faithful cameramen (-women?) will be...

Re: The Victor The whole thing rests on the tunnel walls...no piles driven, no slurry walls slurred...remarkably simple (easy for me to say). I hear the crane is arriving at the end of the month.

These cranes are visible from the small park next to the Gah-den. Pretty cool.

Hey Lrfox, I hadn’t noticed that you replied until today. Funny how so many of these posts have turned into a discussion of social and/or political issues…a sign of the times??? Anyhow - a few thoughts in return: a) “so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else” Prostitution is not a...

Four reasons "Why not": a) Maybe this comes from my protective parenting as a father of four, but I don't buy the "legalize it, because everyone's doing it" philosophy. b) Making F.R. a home to legalized illegitimate industries may result in a quick boost to the city's coffers, but who would...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion There's steel rising on the site now. Who's got a camera???

Re: Bulfinch triangle Update: Suffolk Construction has posted a sign on the site, and construction fences are arriving. Nice to see so much construction activity going on in the city in spite of the economy.

Re: Boston Tea Party Museum ^^^i.e., the stellar results of the current occupant of the White House

^^I agree; it's seems totally contrived. My biggest beef, however, is the seemingly walled-in entry at the base of the steeple. What kind of message is that sending?

^...all the better for my enjoyment! :)

Speaking of sanity and getting this back on topic: If Robert Campbell were to tour the Greenway today, he may arrive a different conclusion. All of the individual park-lets from South Station to the North End are very well used. And the Harbor Pavilion came out great. I hadn't realized that...

^Hey, lay off him. I look forward to your posts, Bostonbred. I see you as some sort of crazy architectural mystic; it is we who need to transcend to your level. There are some days where your posts are actually the most sane.
