    Museum Of Science Renovations | 1 Science Park | West End

    Is this the last remaining installation of Mathematica? There at least used to be several different copies of it in different museums, including the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (where I first encountered it as a kid).

    General Infrastructure

    Is there a map somewhere showing exactly where the Coughlin Bypass Road is and goes? Google Maps has shoehorned some of it into the map layer, but it doesn't show on the satellite layer. Does it go only to the airport, or can I also use it to reach Saratoga Street from the Chelsea Street bridge?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Re: Green Line to Medford to start in 2011 They come up to a hatch that's well inside the Common. Lots of folks would look unfavorably on the idea of adding any more buildings on the Common.

    Dorm Tower @ Emerson College | 1-3 Boylston Place | Downtown

    The neighborhood didn't object because there isn't a (residential) neighborhood here. Closest residential areas would be Bay Village and Chinatown, and they aren't close enough to care. Back Bay ends at Arlington Street under anyone's definition (NABB's, BRA's, etc)
