I was on that train and saw him! That was Sunday, the 18th.. I sat on the starboard side, on the same car as Max and his friends, two rows behind them..

If a shared use path is included (though from the renders, it doesn't appear as though that is the case), maybe that's one of the reasons they're going to be lift bridges: there's much less of a chance of something going wrong if someone gets caught on a lift bridge when it lifts as opposed to a...

Agreed. If I had my way, any redevelopment of that hideously bland landscraper, also known as 245 Summer, would require recreation of that wing of South Station with the waiting room (in exchange for air rights above).

Medford. Vagabond was referring to the Winthrop Street Rotary in Medford.

I wouldn't call that abandoned, poorly maintained, yes. It's in use today to connect the two sides of the state forest, which was bisected by I-95. It's even shown on the DCR's official map.

I am so glad that they've finally replaced those awful terminals at KMCI, last time I was there visiting family (about ten years ago), once I got beyond security in one of the old ring terminals, there was almost nothing in the form of amenities. At that time I was flying to DFW on AA and at the...

I know it's moot here now, but I wonder if Amtrak is exempt from New Hampshire's (and other states) licensing rules, since it runs food service on its own on most trains, as opposed to the Downeaster, where food service is contracted out to a private operator.

I would keep Tufts Medical Center as is, it's useful to note where the major hospitals are on the system. I would advocate a change from Medford/Tufts to Medford Hillside, since that's the neighborhood it serves.

Per a quick search of the Boston Globe archive, it's been called that since at least 1928.

My aunt and late uncle were professors at UNO and UNL, respectively (she social work, he plant genetics and biology), and raised their six kids on the eastern edge of Lincoln. On several occasions, I went on "vacation" to Lincoln. I always found Nebraska to be exotic, at least it was to this kid...

Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution more or less prohibits development or sale of park, recreation, conservation and most other open space. Any changes require a supermajority of the legislature to approve, and exceptional circumstances to remove Article 97 protection should be cited in...

It looks like an old-timey construction site from like an Our Gang or Tom and Jerry short.

A parking space tax in both retail and residential garages and lots, maybe $2 or $3 per use in retail garages, and maybe a flat yearly for residential garages, which would go towards transportation. Retail garages (IE hourly) to help collect on the expenses imposed by daily drivers, and...

Go to the Mass GIS map here, pan in on Blandford, and on the options menu on the right, dropdown the Conservation/Recreation line item and choose "Openspace Article 97", and all parcels that are protected by Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution (the Constitutional amendment that protects...

Having family in KC, Lincoln, and Omaha, I know exactly what you mean. The last time I flew out of MCI in 2012 (I had just read McCullough's biography on Harry Truman and used the opportunity to stop in and see if everything was up to date and visit the Truman Library and NPS sites in...

On the plus side, Annie Lennox will be there. Now THAT'S royalty.

It's not opening on December 12th, it's opening on November 42nd.

I wonder if this will spur a schedule change on either the Vermonter or Ethan Allen, maybe pushing one to leave the Burlington area later in the day to spread the schedule a little bit.
