I may be misremembering but I thought they needed to cannibalize facade from the cut-in areas (that are being filled in) to repair the facade along the street? Supposedly the facade was in very poor condition. Hard to trust Emerson though given how they wanted to go on the Colonial Theater and...

You and the developer's intern who voted a few hundred times.

It is truly hideous. I'm not sure what that Tokyo comment is supposed to mean.

Re: Boston Globe Site Redevelopment | Dorchester A craft brewery. Just in time for the craft brewery industry bubble to burst.

Shocking. Is the building in such poor condition that renovation is cost-prohibitive?

...so $150-200 million over 5 years? Why not just rent some office space somewhere downtown and get out of the building maintenance business? That has to be cheap in the long run, no?

Is that the city limits of Boston? Boston city limits are tiny compared to many other major American cities. You really need to set a radius or something or at least use whatever the generally accepted metro area numbers are.

This. There seems to be a frequent sentiment that every project needs to knock the ball out of the park. It's an impossible standard. Even if the Pike phase never occurs this seems like a significant positive upgrade over the current parking lots, no? If the Pike actually gets decked then even...

The adjacent gas station and single story structure look like prime development spots. Any buzz on those properties?

They're only concerned with preventing new development to appease their octogenarian benefactor's world vision.

It's very cool but don't those things run into lots of maintenance issues?

Because people who are totally unqualified to have opinions on anything are allowed to insert themselves and their whack-a-doodle thoughts in the approval process. What Boston needs is an independent legal group that is singularly pro-building. Like the opposing of the CLF. For every request to...

With a view of an athletics field, basically a park, MIT has decided to build the smallest windows possible? And compounded it with a sterile facade. That thing is disgraceful.

I walked by a week ago and my take is this thing photographs poorly. Not that it looks good in person, instead just basically a nothingburger in person, but it's a disaster when photographed.

That Northend Waterfront Association letter is ludicrous. Every single point is written as if by a crazy person who doesn't understand they live in a city, or at least feels like they've got theirs and no one else should.

Okay, glass is in to prevent people (kids) from falling through the metal. It still looks like a hot mess.

I don't think it looks cheap, but it certainly looks bad. Either the frames need to be lighter or the cladding needs to be darker. Woof.

In that loft: a 20-something artist who owns a $5,000 chair and no kitchen equipment. Probably not the affordable unit.

If he works for a media agency that's probably why he's acutely aware of the term (or any generational label) being useless, arguably derogatory, and/or not applicable to many, if not most, of the people branded with it. A twenty year span in the current information/digital age is simply too...

I always seem to forget the Orpheum entrance used to be on Washington St.
