You could easily write an essay that Copley Place, the Pru and the Hancock are the perfect complement and capstone contrast to old Back Bay. Can you think of another new project that completes a distinguished old one so beneficially? Scale, material and predominant land use all vary between new...

New-Deal Deco, slender and sinewy as AIG, the Mt. Hope Bridge vaults gracefully onto the bottom of Bristol's peninsula. Few know of this willowy beauty because it's a bit off the beaten track and only carries two lanes. But, Boston02124, you're sure to run onto it unawares in one of your...

Can you be drunk in Boston at 3am? ^ ;)

^ A nutshell solution. You won't get the MBTA behind it because it will increase costs without much increase in revenue. Overcrowding those trains in the T's eyes is precisely what subsidizes that pesky off-peak service.

Re: South Boston Seaport They would --and we're not those guys. Would you have been happier if I had written 23 stories? The point really was: does it make any difference to anyone besides a pilot? Above about seven stories, does a building's height matter to anyone but a pilot? Does it...
