    Diller, Scofidio + Renfro Performing Arts Center @ Holy Cross | Worcester

    $110M for a 200 seat theater. A bunch of the seats don't even come close to facing the stage. *insert angry, perhaps beligerant rant about college tuition costs* But cool,. HC can keep up with construction at Bucknell, Colgate, and Leheigh. Jesus wept.

    225 Shrewsbury Street | Worcester

    This is fantastic. Build, build, build.

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    Oh, I forgot about the awful cantilevers. Another huge improvement buffing those out.

    One Post Office Square Makeover and Expansion | Financial District

    It's a huge improvement. It's funny reading the first few pages of this thread. You would think the original facade was in some way not a giant POS.

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

    Across the street from the Cask n Flagon on Brookline Ave. It's the last structure on that side of the road before the bridge to Kenmore Sq.

    Worcester Infill and Developments

    The OMG WORCESTER IS SO AWFUL stuff feels straight out of 1999. What an exciting throwback. For the longest time it was sort of a running joke how Worcester was just about to change for the better. It's become a different and better place over the past decade though. There's always Boston for...

    Harvard Street Residences | Worcester

    The Whitcomb House has been well maintained, including surrounding landscaping. It's on a prominent corner as well which is doubly nice. The street was lined with historic houses at one point but most have been torn down. Those that remain have been modified a bit over the years and don't really...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    Base jumping is viable above something like 250' so if you can break through a window and know what you're doing you'll be able to see your neighbors faces pressed against the windows as you glide away. If I had $100M to burn on housing it wouldn't be spent on that thing. Though I'm guessing...

    The Mercantile | Mercantile Street | Worcester

    This seems to be getting close to opening. I walked by earlier and televisions were mounted and on but with a ladder or two still in sight. Active construction inside the Ruth's Chris across the courtyard appears to be underway as well. Saw noises were coming from within and a few hard hat...

    Mercantile Center Expansions

    For the hotel I think they mean Front St. instead of Foster street. The parcel across from the AC Marriott is on the corner of Front and Mercantile. Foster is at the end of Mercantile St. but I don't think there is nearly enough land to build a hotel there. The corner of Foster and Mercantile is...

    Worcester Infill and Developments

    The Miss Worcester apartments are going to be incredibly noisy with the train tracks right there, no?

    Hotel Buckminster Renovation | Brookline Ave & Beacon St | Kenmore Square (Fenway)

    Bingo. Never went in there otherwise but if you wanted a few reasonably priced beers and a place to sit before the game it was perfect.

    The Mercantile | Mercantile Street | Worcester

    I wholeheartedly agree Worcester is much nicer than even 10 years ago but I'm not sure what these "best places to live" type of lists mean other than cost of living is skyrocketing and people aren't fleeing. Way to go real estate owners, I guess.

    The Cove | Green Street | Worcester

    Even reduced in size and perhaps VE'd a bit this feels like a huge win for Green St. and Worcester.

    Poet Hill Residences | 9 Hemans Street | Worcester

    It's still rough. It's just a handful of short streets wedged between commercial, industrial, highway, and a cemetery. At one time the Grove St. side actually abutted a small pond but that was filled in the 60's with commercial built on top. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit nicer long ago...

    Kenmore Square North (WHOOP) | 533-541 Commonwealth Ave | Fenway

    Hard hitting journalism right there. "Without the sign, I might get lost!" Oookay. I love the WHOOP.

    Worcester Infill and Developments

    Does anyone know what is happening with the parking lot behind the Palladium? About half of it, the side bordering Commercial St., is completely dug up. Is something being built or are they just redoing the lot? That seems like an awful place to live at market rate. Mostly first floor in a...

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    I went to a game about a month ago. The park is awesome and I loved it. It's a great place to watch a game.

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    I don't like the new building nearly as much as the previous design/massing but I'm struggling to get bent out of shape about it given how this is all about a bajillion times better than the garage.

    The Parker Boston (nee LaGrange Tower) | 47-55 LaGrange St. | Downtown

    Is something supposed to go next door to it on La Grange?
