^second.

It is there. See post 509, first picture.

Re: South Station Tower Ahhh...someone finally said it!

Dark panels going up on the mech screen. Doesn't look like glass, but I only saw from afar.

Re: Whiskey Priest/Atlantic Beer Garden Redevelopment | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport ^not necessary.

So the first figure bigpicture posted from the website shows an area annotated as "approximate area of ground improvements" that is maybe 1/12 of the total area of the building footprint. Are we sure that these auger castings were placed across the whole foundation, or does it not matter? Sorry...

It appears a portion is (at least on paper), but someone in the industry will have to confirm. As quoted from the NPC: "The use of low impact, drilled-in foundation elements are planned to minimize the potential for vibration and ground disturbance during construction. Current planning...

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point Not trolling, just injecting some clearly misinterpreted cynical humor (which oftentimes manifests itself as some ridiculously crass statement). I wasn't calling out anyone's opinion...just simply expressing mine. I did try to support...

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point I'm left speechless from the barf I'm choking on. Ok, so that was a little dramatic...but initial impression is that I don't like it. There are a bunch of cool ideas here, but it feels forced, as if the architect took the calls for...

The height of this building and its relationship to other buildings in the downtown area has been discussed ad nauseam.

^That would win the Kessel Run by my estimation. However, this begs the question: Why the hell did Han Solo use a unit of distance as unit of speed? It was widely acknowledged in Star Wars that a parsec was 19 trillion miles. BTW, I thought the portion of the garage where the residential...

I like the Citgo sign. Not simply because it's been there since before Jesus, but, because it adds character and life to the city, similar to the Shell sign, the Paramount Theater marquee, or the kettle in front of the Starbucks. These are characteristics that people generally appreciate, but...

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport ^yeah...someone posted photos in another one of the seaport threads yesterday or the day before.

Re: The Merano (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End Couldn't get a pic, but steel is rising!

While I certainly share your enthusiasm (I've been waiting for this one more than any other tower), you should still be holding your breath. This is not even on the same side of the building as the tower. The tower won't start until the work on the SW corridor (what the picture above depicts)...

Re: The Merano (Parcels 1B & 1C) | Bulfinch Triangle | West End Tower crane is going up as I type.

This is the shot I've been waiting for.

Re: Landmark Center Expansion | Fenway They were right not to fund it. It would be a ridiculously expensive, multi year (perhaps even a decade to go through the existing seed bank) and likely fruitless effort. Phrag propogates via rhizome and seed, so an approved aquatic herbicide (Rodeo)...

As much as I love the concept, I can't afford to buy stuff there regularly, and my wife and I make a comfortable living. Why buy a free range, organic, non GMO carrot for $3.99 at BPM when I can get carrots 10 for $1 at Haymarket (that's an exaggeration, I know). Plus, all the yuppies hang out...
