    To restore or to not restore the MBTA's late-night service

    the subway is about as close to any of their present-day realities as their Psych 101 final or their prom date: a long-forgotten part of their youth that they are occasionally reminded of by movies. Map the residences of those in power in this city and state and I'd wager you'd find very little...

    To restore or to not restore the MBTA's late-night service

    i've been burned too many times to put any stock into entering the subway anywhere near the ending time.... if it is after 11:30 i bite the bullet and take a cab, and I'm imagining most others do too. If it were 24 hours? I think the culture would change instantly. And the cab companies would...

    Federal Funds for South Station Expansion

    Re: Fend Funds for South Station Expansion these renderings (this and the one in the globe article) have to be among the worst i've ever seen.... i get it that it's not a "design", but I can't help but think they are hurting more than helping. Rather than giving an intern free reign on...

    What is this?

    I always thought it was the bard too. I figured it is a vestige from when that area was chockablock in theaters

    93 Mass Ave (Other Side Cafe) | 93-97 Massachusetts Ave | Back Bay

    Re: 93 Massachusetts Ave wow.... how often do you wear out shoes carrying around a chip that big? Trust me, no one in this city is one-tenth as concerned about you as you think they are. I'm in my mid thirties, bald (unironically, at that), married, and dress like an adult, and I've never...

    Northeastern eyes dorms

    My mileage varied, but it could be a north/south thing: in my experience at the University of York (limited, mind you, a brief visit with a friend) it seemed that the alcohol drinking was on par with that at my big state school that i was studying at, they just drank better beer. With that the...

    93 Mass Ave (Other Side Cafe) | 93-97 Massachusetts Ave | Back Bay

    Re: 93 Massachusetts Ave this really sucks-- i was just at the other side a week or so ago, looking through all the awesome industrial age ruin overhead and out the back window and being very happy that there was still room for stuff like this in boston and back bay. Soon it will just be...

    Silver Line - Phase III / BRT in Boston

    are these the same new busses that are on the 39 route? If so, I love 'em! The lighting is a little weird and spooky at night, but they get great light during the day and are much easier to walk through

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    They also travelled by train to games and had a payroll of probably $20,000 a year. Their training regimen probably included medicine balls, coffee and eggs, and Chesterfields. Not that I think it's impossible today, but I'm curious to see someone reply to this post in the present tense.

    Not 18 Neptune, the place around the corner on Frankfort. Unless that guy died or Massport invaded that house is still standing and occupied. Maybe it's gone, I defer to you if you live in Orient Heights as I'm never out that way (unless I'm on or immediately over the tarmac), but it's not...

    The Big Dig

    I read your map wrong-- i thought that your alignment was going under Maverick Square--there still would be the conflict once you got near airport station, but they could've coordinated with the airport station redesign and have figured it out

    The Big Dig

    I've never heard your arguments but they are intriguing (in a woulda coulda shoulda sort of way). The ted williams tunnel alignment argument I get, but I think the reality of that alignment is that it would either have to go under the blue line for half a mile or so, or surface, the latter of...

    MASSPORT is currently redeveloping it as a park in their Airport Buffer series. And last I checked (last spring during the RFP process for said park) there was one triple decker left, resided in by the last holdout, now 80ish years old.
