    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    I’ve been lolling around South Asia for a few weeks, and have to say that resembles Calcutta. Newmarket in Calcutta is far superior to any retail experience in the US. It consists of thousands of vendors in a hot, sweaty filthy environment with unsafe wiring, the stench of backed up sewer...

    MGM Music Hall (née Fenway Theater) | 12 Lansdowne St | Fenway

    Any approval permit should have a covenant that "Sweet Caroline" can never be played at a Red Sox game. Ever.

    Good article on why many new "mid-rises" are samey-samey: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-02-13/why-america-s-new-apartment-buildings-all-look-the-same?utm_campaign=news&utm_medium=bd&utm_source=applenews

    Marriott Moxy Hotel | 240 Tremont Street (Parcel P-7A) | Theater District

    It might work well from a distance, but won't from up close (if it can be seen up close.) The point of dazzle camouflage is not invisibility. It is to confuse the eye as to size, speed and direction. A ship painted in dazzle, one which up close looks preposterous (like our friend here the RMS...

    Amazon HQ2 selected - and not Boston

    And one of the least experienced as well. Still, who can say one way or another whether the lost jobs would affect her particular district, or that the lost long term tax revenue would have helped pay for her ambitious social programs. Being old and tired, I'm probably more inclined toward...

    Kendall Common ( née Volpe Redevelopment) | Kendall Sq | Cambridge

    I don’t think the facade is part of a cage. Don’t dismiss the idea that there are one or more in a secure structure. Plus the checklist of “specialized” glass, hanger like multi story ground floor with utilities “carefully isolated” and built into hanger ceiling for “dampening”. “Occupied...

    You’ve described it perfectly. That’s one reason why I think adjusting it to “1 meter = 1 foot” of rise seems to be a better approximate. Either way, bad!

    Here is a climate change sea level rise prediction map, which you can adjust by varying the meters of sea level increase. I think it understates the effect based on personal observation of the consequences of the storm surge and king tides. One meter of sea rise in the program is probably closer...

    ⚪ Boston Freedom Wheel | Long Wharf? | Waterfront

    That's a good one. Or "Baby Wheel"? I'd rather have a roller coaster from North Station to South Station.

    One Kenmore Square | 560 Commonwealth Avenue | Kenmore Square

    Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square Time for "Kenmore Circus". Big rotary down at that end to ingest all the streets.

    One Kenmore Square | 560 Commonwealth Avenue | Kenmore Square

    Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square That's some weird shit going on there. Looks like the spaceship from "Cowboys and Aliens". Build it. Go well with BU's stack of crates project!

    Motor Mart Tower | 201 Stuart Str. | Park Sq | Boston

    ^^^ Hadn't thought of that...Yes! Or at least put some kind of simple triangular finials at the top of each of the "pilasters" to echo the triangles atop the garage cornice. It would be great to see this square begin to reach its potential. Now about that brick mediocrity...

    Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial | Boston Common | Downtown

    Golden fingers in front of the State House... apt.
