    Is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers blocking expanded weekend CapeFlyer service?

    It would appear yes, based on the CapeFlyer's Facebook post from Friday. "Our big announcement is not as big as we wanted but lack of cooperation is prohibiting us from enhancing service as much as we'd like. BUT we are adding a 1st-class car in addition to our iconic cafe car and Friday...

    Worst Completed Infrastructure Nominations

    I second this nomination, explicitly as "South Coast Rail Phase 1." Taunton, New Bedford and Fall River service via Stoughton ("Phase 2") makes sense, but if the ridership on Phase 1 is as bad as I fear it will be, I expect phase 2 will never happen. The Phase 2 NIMBYs will have a field day...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    I think Turnpike Square is a brilliant name. Of course, many folks will contract it to "Pike Square," in the spirit the Massachusetts Turnpike is known by everybody as the Mass. Pike. I've been a frequent visitor to the area since the 1980s (I worked back when at 101 Huntington). Boylston...
