25 years ago I'd be optimistic about this moving forward but now I'm pessimistically wondering what humans will do with a better energy source. The primary use for these data centers isn't discovering formulations for novel cancer treatments, etc. A lot of it is for unproductive activities like...

OH YEAH!

Especially after they failed to provide the hiking connections to the blue hills as they promised. This is all about making money, not community benefit. Granted, many love the golf course, but at least play nice with the community while you run your business.

There's space available! Think I'll open my insurance sales and vacuum repair shop there.

Idiocracy

I don't think Quincy has the market cornered on NIMBYs and I don't see the surrounding communities doing much to build housing. Close to Boston with 4 stops on the red line, yeah better put money elsewhere. The mayor is a lot of things but I would not call him anti development

It's all a symptom of a total lack of imagination. No one sits around thinking about how to improve things. Their relationship with their physical world is topical and reactive. "This line of cars I'm sitting in while waiting for the Dunkin drive thru sucks. I wish it were shorter." So they raze...

With all the hub bub around the soccer stadium and transit, build some elevated train lines to Everett as others have mentioned in this thread.

You can still see a faint scar along the path in Google maps satellite view. I recall going to the original Treehouse in Monson driving through thick forest and all of a sudden I was in a moonscape. Then it occurred to me it was from the tornado and I was amazed at the destruction. And that was...

I've learned they have C O F F E E

Not an issue and there are currently plenty of places for drunken projectile throwing.

Somewhere I read that the architect had no idea what was there until after the building was completed and the arch is a coincidence. Wish I could find the interview.

Excellent height for good urbanism in a spot like this.

https://vimeo.com/462484242?share=copy @Charlie_mta thought you might be interested in this one. Or if watching on Vimeo isn't for you, it's playing at the Brattle this Friday and Saturday along with other Jan Egleson Boston films.

I think it's the mayor and the mayor alone. Remember when he wanted to level the Gunther Tooties building to build a small skyscraper? I think his recent victory on the obscene salary increase is fueling his need to irresponsibly build monuments that will somehow make his legacy immortal in his...

The Pike used to be heavily patrolled and was a likely spot to get pulled over for speeding. I don't see that anymore. It seems enforcement has declined. Anecdotal, but sharing in case others have their own.

How Quincy property owners react to using eminent domain for Adams Presidential Center Losing that Acapulco's building on the corner would significantly degrade the urban fabric. All these corners being nibbled away for more dog toilets is concerning, especially when it's for Koch's little...

Any good lasagna recipes?

I recall you mentioning this before and thanks for sharing it. Context is everything and it gives me an appreciation for a building that I would've ignored otherwise.
