Now if only it could have been 50'-75' taller :-/
I've always hated the brown box on top of 1 Boston Place so much that I actually contacted them a year or two ago to see if they ever considered changing it or hiding the box with some type of crown. They responded that they had considered it, but it wasn't in the plans right now. Here's hoping...
Do any of you watch Celtics or Bruins games?
One reason this turd of a building bothers me is because it's a prominent location - right next to the Garden - that millions of people see every year. Whenever there's a game, there's a TV shot with a panoramic sky shot of the Garden. And now this...
