While I like the current design, I thought I would have a little fun with it anyway. It would probably look fine by itself but standing next to the PRU I think it would be funny with both have a spire/antenna.

New Bedford Airport could handle small to medium sized aircraft (up to a B737 or DC9) but it will be limited on weight due to the runway being 5400'. The aircraft would have to carry enough fuel to get to either FEDEX or UPS's hubs but it would limit how much cargo it could handle. You may be...

Sandpiper Air is an FBO at the airport, not an airline. Unless you are joking about the tv show Wings! :wink:

Thanks for correcting that. The runway had not been paved since the 70's or 80's I believe. In order for the FAA to put money towards repaving it, it had to be brought up to "code" with safety overruns on each end. This resulted in the usable length going from 4997' to 5400'. As of now many...

New Bedford Regional Airport completes runway extension project: http://http://t.southcoasttoday.com/article/20141018/News/410180324

Thanks!!

Thought I would post a few photos from a couple of weeks ago in New Bedford.

I am always bewildered that Federal Reserve is the third tallest in Boston. It doesnt seem like it, especially when viewed from the distance. One Financial and International Place start at the same ground elevation and they look taller to me.

I heard some rumblings from those in the restaurant indistry that the National Club was bought by the developer of the new hotel. When the Rt 18 project is finished they are planning on restoring the building and turning it into a steakhouse. Not sure how reliable this info is though.

That would be ideal. I grew up in Fairhaven near Ft. Phoenix and have used the bikepath often for running and biking. I can't wait for it to be expanded.

Yes, but just barely. You can see the Blue Hills and only the tops of the Hancock and Pru. It is so distant they look like "bumps" on the horizon but with binoculars it is more clear. Thanks for the other locations! I always find this interesting.

What are some of the distant locations you were able to spy the Boston skyline? There are the obvious places like the Blue Hills but what other locations are there? Some of the most distant I have found are: Summit of Mt. Monadnock near Keen NH approx 63 miles Top of Pilgrim Monument in...

There is a live webcam from the roof of the Regency in New Bedford. http://72.85.244.125/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=4888

Don't forget about the 17.4 million dollar New Bedford Regional Airport (EWB) runway improvement/expansion project that broke ground last month.

I am pretty sure of that. In fact before buying a house I looked at an apartment there about 2004 and it was 1200/mo for a 2 bedroom.

Actually, the Regency was constructed as luxury apartments in the 80's. It had a gourmet deli and fitness club on the ground level, as well as covered garage parking. The top floor was offices and function space. The middle contained the residences. Over the years it didnt keep current and...

The Regency is undergoing renovations, here is a render of the recladding. http://www.flickr.com/photos/masshousing/4405850637/

The Airport Grille seems to be busy 7 days a week, it became popular very quickly. I have only been to the "new one" 2 times but I work nearby and see the crowds in the parking lot and inside the terminal.
