especially as the Inn at Harvard was lost last year, to become 'swing space' for Harvard house renovations.

I'd certainly rather have the place stay open for the time being (as in this plan) rather than sit abandoned or be demolished for an empty lot.

Ohio State University used to have their honors dorm in (or maybe "under" is a better word) their football stadium. I don't know if this arrangement still exists.

I'm pretty sure Federal Realty is kicking in some of the money for that new T station. I don't see how Assembly Row requires any other transportation improvements once you've got that station open.

Seems to me that a 'Green Line Extension' night-owl bus route would make sense to add, given the large number of bars and clubs around Union Square.

A little surprising to see a newly renovated urban McD's in Allston. All the ones near me have closed -- Porter Square a few years ago, Davis Square last fall, Meadow Glen Mall a few weeks ago.

I don't see why a station at Beacon and Charles would be affected by the Marathon. Reporting error?

Is a "cycling studio" something different from a "bike shop"? (The bicycle shop in Lexington Center is called Ride Studio Cafe. The name is a bit pretentious, but the place doubles as a coffee shop.)

The best way to address the historic preservation issue, then, is to remove Shea Circle and restore (a copy of) the Olmsted-era bridge. How feasible would that be?

They are fixing it, by adding an Orange Line station. It should open some time this summer.

I don't think the Shea Circle rotary was part of Olmsted's original design. If it wasn't, then I don't see what the historic argument is.

the contrast between those buildings is not favorable to the new one. They should try to match the old one better in style.

The linked Wicked Local story said 40 stories; was this an error?

If it's a "small hotel", why is it 40 stories tall?

Unless Eastgate is falling apart, I don't see a compelling case for demolishing it.

Isn't the salt-pile park not yet finished, and in any event open only during warm weather when not occupied by a salt pile?

I think of Suffolk as primarily a law school, with a small undergraduate college attached. Is this an accurate perception?

what is Tremont Crossing? This is the first place I've seen that name. (Sorry for the temporary thread derail)

I am happy to see advertising revenue maximized in any other way, as long as it doesn't involve renaming stations and lines. Advertising on the T could be helpful to local businesses that are near T stations.

itchy, where did Emerson and Brandeis fit in that hierarchy?
