Forest Hills to Kenmore via the "-ways" The Greenway/Congress Street/Causeway Street loop Kendall to Watertown via Mem Drive

ugh..... sorry, but any architect who exports renderings direct from sketchup can't be trusted to be competent

Ferris Wheel, no thanks. Yes: Beer garden, informal performance areas (think berklee students), climbing "mountain, swimming, urban surfing (google "Eisbach"), giant tree swings, ice skating, cross country skiing. I'm excited that there are people with dreams for this park.

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) what was liberal about his comment?

Underhanded, maybe-- but nefariousness is in the eye of the beholder. Given a choice between an Arkansas-based business using their corporate development assembly-line to rubber stamp a building into Dudley Square on the one hand, or a chance to give a local business some leverage while...

Not any more! That proposal has been unanimously selected: http://www.baystatebanner.com/local15-2012-02-02 This is pretty exciting--same architect/landscape architect as Macallen. Same developer as 691 Mass Ave.

Logan will be the first US airport with 787 service when JAL starts direct to Tokyo service on April 22 http://www.boston.com/Boston/businessupdates/2012/01/boston-first-city-have-dreamliner-service/EgLuLP6M8cVhJIfYYMifoK/index.html?camp=obnetwork

That's not what I was suggesting, but I could see how you would be led to think that. Damn words. What I was saying was that just as tourists seek the Bostonian iteration of old European urbanity, we could emulate the strategies many European cities have taken in redeveloping their own...

you can't beat the standard by aiming for "similar"... Boston shouldn't be trying to out-Vegas Vegas itself. The BCEC should be about being next to the ocean, moreover about what distinguishes Boston from other convention cities. The urban condition evolving in the Seaport district is its...

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion When you compare the hundreds of billions of Derby, Carnegie and Rockefeller to the tens of billions of Gates, Buffett, or the Waltons you are not talking about the top 1% so much as the top 0.00000001% (put another way, the 1% of the 1% of the...

He had the benefit of it being his home state, and sharing a border with his home state. Then again, it's 1000 miles from his home state, and on the opposite side of the country from his home state and his home state.

I think the toothpick could run alone and win--ugh.

I second, even though I think I remember learning long ago that the plan for the docks was in place when the mediateque was conceived, and the designers knew it would not be water-only forever. That said I think it merits a change to the old plan.

Pope, as in Colonel Pope, was a major contributor to the bicycle craze of the late 19th century, was a founder of the League of American Wheelmen and was the leading force behind the Good Roads Movement in the United States.

I've long admired that building as well... looks like it's a faithful renovation, though the renderings don't help much. They are terrible actually.

what about a lifetime achievement award for individual/corporate contribution to the urban condition of Boston? The initial nominee list would be very long indeed: Charles Eliot, Richardson, Olmsted, TAC, Wheelwright, Bulfinch, Stubbins, Gilman. Perhaps we do it like the MLB Hall of Fame and...

Given all the flack the Kennedy Greenway has received I nominate three world-class linear landscapes: -the Esplanade -the Emerald Necklace -the SW Corridor Park

Re: Innovation District the head-smacking moment of the Airport Silver Line run for me comes when upon exiting the busway, the driver has to put the bus in park, exit, walk to the end of the bus to retract the electrical connections, walk back to the front, reboard, start the gas engine, put it...
