I'll believe it when I see it. A Terminal E expansion has been in the works since "Logan 2000". However, I see Massport's chance with American Airlines's bankruptcy. Given the fact that Boston is now really nothing more than a spoke for AA, I think it's highly likely that they'll close down...

Indeed. Also, from what I heard when I worked in Terminal E was the Customs and Immigration had a system-wide staffing shortage and even if entry facilities were added at Terminal E, CBP wouldn't be able to staff the facility, rendering it useless. To me, that seems a bit shortsighted and...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport http://bostonglobe.com/business/2012/01/13/paypal-planning-boston-expansion/3wlpjIUPFUxhJt1y5dENbI/story.html Nothing earth shattering. PayPal is looking to expand its MA operations, currently at about 100 workers in an office in the North End...

Agreed, a lot of people tend to overlook our burgh in favor of other destinations that typically have a more global (read: tourist-friendly) appeal. Many people don't realize how important a city Boston is in the financial sector; something that's only increasing now that almost all the major...

I think a lot of people tend to overlook Boston as an international destination. However, I think, whether for government regulation, size or existing competition, the only cities that I think realistically have a better chance of being started before Boston are Miami and Chicago. The Canadian...

It's funny, I never noticed the lack of breakdown lanes until I was driving it once with some friends from out of town who remarked that there were no breakdown lanes. Ever since then, I've taken note.

I don't think ridership and frequency are at the point that these types of controls are needed. For example, one of the subway lines in Toronto carries almost the entire ridership of the Red, Orange and Blue lines combined and has frequency throughout the day at roughly every 2-4 minutes. The...

Icelandair, for the past couple of years, has also offered a daylight flight (in addition to the daily, evening flight), leaving Boston in the early afternoon and arriving in Keflavik in the evening. Icelandair has been year-round (and, for the most part, daily) for as far back as I can remember...

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Those photos from the commuter rail facility got me thinking about the new commuter rail cars that are supposed to be in service. I remember several months ago there being a mockup at North Station. Any word as if the first cars have been delivered...

Does anyone know what kind of cycling infrastructure Fort Lauderdale has now? It's been about seven years since I was there, however I was recently in Naples and Sarasota and was impressed to see the number of bike lanes, even if the entire time I was there I saw a grand total of two people...

I still have that in my neighborhood. A guy drives around in a truck with a bell and will sharpen your tools if you need it. I think he's gotta be a retiree just looking to fill his days because I can't even fathom how he pays to gas up his truck, let alone support himself on such work.

If I had to hazard a guess (and I am by no means an expert on classic cars), I'd say the mid-to-late-forties, maybe early-50s.

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Vivian Li's maiden name was Newdick? :)

Much like the weather, those photos kinda made me wet. :) Thanks for posting. Also, to give you some perspective with Bixi, that launched here in Toronto this year with 1,000 bikes and something like 100 stations. Despite more bikes and a two-and-a-half month head start, Bixi Toronto recorded...

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown I believe the developer would disagree with you on this. Remember, the plan wasn't changed because the DD couldn't be feasibly rehabbed. It was changed because some neighbours didn't want shadows and Hizonnah didn't wan't anything "iconic" to take...

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower I'll try to temper my hopes that this is a sign of things to come in the coming decade. While I realize the market dynamics are different, it's a strange to think that the the tallest residential tower in the city will be 47 stories, when where I live...

Nice. Said it all.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos In addition, I think once Massport gets the new shuttle buses (if they haven't already) and when the consolidated car rental facility is open, getting a shuttle bus to the Blue Line will be a better experience for someone going to Boston and/or not...

In my experience, despite DC and Baltimore being in the same CSA (though separate MSAs), the two don't share a lot on the day-to-day level. I.e. I've met more than one person who lives in DC and has never been to Baltimore or can go years without visiting. I imagine, however, the inverse is less...

http://www.boston.com/Boston/businessupdates/2011/11/filene-basement-files-for-bankruptcy-again/5Yrg2O79EQoGVuTh8PpgCL/index.html?p1=News_links Looks like whatever gets built on the Filene's site, it will definitively NOT include a Filene's Basement.
