<<Boston officials, marveling at the vibrant scenes they found in New York, said they are exploring the idea of establishing a full-scale restaurant, a simple food kiosk, or something in between to attract diners to the Common.>> Is it me, or does a line like this just make you roll your eyes...

Re: Hynes renovation Dali in Somerville and Tapeo on Newbury Street have been serving tapas for over a decade.

Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. Don't forget -- this parcel is across the street from the JFK building. Anything the federal government does not like will never get built (see City Hall Plaza).

Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. I always wondered how the heck that thing ever got approved. Such an eyesore.

I look at architectural renderings like online dating site ads. When the date walks in the door, he will be 40% paunchier and 40% older than the pics in his online profile.

This is a case of bad parenting, not evidence that there is out of control pro-baby wave where city planning is concerned.

Re: Woolworth's Woolworth's was open later than 1993. I bought my Halloween costume there in October, 1994. With a pair of meltable polyester slacks and a "virgin acrylic" (I kid you not, that's how the label read), I was Jeff Gillooly of Tonya Harding fame. I can remember the year...

I drove by on Saturday and saw a palette of fairly large greenish glass panels at the construction site looking like they were being installed.

A more convenient and accessible location for the entire metro area is Weston. :p

Rule #44: do not lean against the pole on a crowded train. allow for space so others can hold on. and if people are already holding the pole, do not hug it so that your belly of chest fat envelops their hands.

I'm not in the real estate, architecture or development business and I have no skin in this game other than my interest, as a resident of the region, in seeing this development be successful and productive. I need someone who knows what the term "public space" means to define it for me. It...

Is your question what happened to this project or what is the fence all about? I'm sure the purpose of the fence was to provide some kind of barrier between indigents in the park and the patrons of the Ritz.

This is annoying. It's not like the Common is some manicured spot, like the Public Gardens. It's supposed to be for people to USE, not to be walled off with "no walking on grass" signs. And it's for everyone, it is not someone's personal front yard. Sorry, but these people knowingly moved...

What about MassHort's parcel near South Station? That would be a much better spot for the history museum than the little triangle aside Haymarket. The MassHort parcel is fairly large, doesn't have the on/off ramp problems (as far as I can recall) and, being next to South Station, the Red Line...

Re: One Kenmore (Mass Turnpike PARCEL 7) It's definitely not interesting. If anything, it just entrenches Boston deeper into a pit of dull, heavy and squat architecture. This makes me think: if large building projects like this have to undertake transit and environmental impact studies, why...

Yes, but much bigger peninsulas. SF's peninsula is 7 miles wide from bay to breakers. That would be the equivalent of having a Shawmut peninsula that stretched from the harbor to, say, Watertown Square. Vancouver's is similar in size. Charleston's is about the same size as Boston's financial...

That makes two nobodies. (I guess 2x0=0.) I thought the Safdie design was pretty interesting and would have liked to have seen it built.

U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly <clap clap> you ugly

Stuff like this drives me nuts: "The report also said that the state could add an optional toll lane on I-93 that would let solo drivers use the carpool lane if they pay a fee." http://www.boston.com/news/traffic/bigdig/articles/2008/03/19/turnpike_managers_scramble_for_plan_b/ NOOOOOO --...
