    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    Looking forward to visiting it. Does look in the photos like there was a lot of value engineering compared to the Camden Yards style renderings. PS the Fitton Field baseball stadium at Holy Cross is a very coherent 3000 seat park

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Probably a pretty good share of Sephardic Converso DNA too, so take that Fascists! Apropos of imperialism, Dewey Square was to be Boston’s monument to Empire, honoring as it does Commodore Dewey’s humiliation of the Spanish Empire at Manila. Sort of our Nelson and Trafalgar Square. South Station...

    Entertaining. Baltimore was a heavy hitter for a long time.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    The Waldorf Cafeteria, Garcia y Vega Cigar Store and Eric Fuchs were more interesting predecessors on the One Financial site. You felt like you were in some old time big city, not a loading dock/traffic sewer topped with some Hartford style cheapskate building. But alas, the pooch truly was...

    Reminds one of the State Transportation Building. Saddle up the PF Chang horses!

    Yes. And it’s inspiration in Tysons Corner VA was going to have three towers. http://www.fernandez-assoc.com/project/tycon.html

    Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212 Stuart St. | Bay Village

    It looks like a stoned riff on the NE T&T building in Bowdoin Square

    I can usually fly along there, but not at rush hours.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Legal services are not required to be bid. GL c 30B, s. 1 (b) (15). Who do you think writes laws? ;)

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    Probably look ok from the highway, 80-85 mph.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Boston is a global brand- education and medicine. That brand is bigger than a skyline.

    “Ah, yes, Indianapolis. Peyton Manning’s wife still on steroids?”

    BU Data Sciences Center | 665 Commonwealth Avenue | BU Central

    It will be very exciting and wonderful to look at from many angles and distances. (Although I’m not sure what it will be like at the front door!)

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Rough guess- 5 to 10 years away. The Simon portfolio is mostly high end malls. Pre-Covid the mall business was undergoing a slow motion death due to online retail. Covid has accelerated the culling of the weak, but even the highest end (Simon) is hit by high vacancies, and by lease income that...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    This has been redone about five times in my lifetime. Can’t even tell the difference between them anymore or if the statue of Cahill Jabroni is still going to be there. (There is a nod to old Huntington in one of the proposed footpaths though.)
