I look at that image and I think of a tall office park in Waltham. Not really neighborhood-y. No street wall. No grand walk or truly inviting public space. In short: Meh. Also, that is where the first overtopping happened in January 2018... I love that this is a normal high tide captured on...

So it goes without saying that you do NOT want to go swimming in the Musquashcut Brook. Come on Scituate... Get your collective action on! It doesn't make you a communist. It makes your backyard less smelly.

I predict if there is even a weak Nor’easter anywhere from December 22-26 of this year, we will see 2018 levels again. https://www.boatma.com/tides/Dec/Charlestown-Charles-River-entrance-Boston-Harbor.html

So much potential for cool spaces around here... just not downtown. I can think of at least three spaces along the Harbor or Chelsea River that would be ideal for a throwdown! Oooh! And a local band that grew out of that could call themselves The 111s... the One Elevens... like the Chelsea...

Debbie Downer here with an update: your favorite project is toast! https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/09/06/thwaites-doomsday-glacier-antarctica-disintegrating/

I think it was the great Carlton "Carl" Carlson who said it best... I don't want to sound my age so I will not complain about the bars "back in my day". Mature me thinks there weren't many holdovers from the previous 40 years into the great bar/venue pool of my era. People in the Roaring 20s...

Come on! We can go MUCH bigger.... https://woehr.de/en/product/woehr-bikesafe.html

Good one! This whole area is chaos. Last time I was biking down there I was particularly looking at how the Jackson Square - Ritchie - Marcella - Washington route is a high use car cut-through with obscured corners and very few bike alternatives nearby. Nothing safe about it.

The MBTA --- Not completely screwed up ALL the time TM

Yep. Kind of an oversight not to talk about how much cash is going/has gone in to LaGuardia recently. And he should have updated it after the last transportation booster bill was signed. I do agree with him about boosting fuel taxes, but I really do not want every US airport to become a massive...

On the airport topic... what do you all make of this? ...and we'll have to forgive his pronunciation of LaGuardia

If we're splitting hairs, yes. I realize it was done by the Central Artery North Area (CANA) project under MDPW, as the Big Dig was starting. So Massachusetts paid for that bit at first. Then got a little help. It's like consolidating your first year student loans into one big consolidated loan...

Street view from 2020 So many details

Ooooh! Nice find. A pic of the rare Pre-93 Tobin connector in its natural habitat. You can even see the pre-Y attachments on the upper and lower decks! So many lessons to learn here. This is why Rutherford Ave was built up at the time and why it remains as a vestigial overbuild awaiting a road...

Massport is especially wrong to accept our collective civic perma-poverty paradigm. They have independent budgets and operations and could have led this... but instead we get more damned band-aid busses. I tire of interagency territorialism making true intermodal operations merely a dream. We...

First - Vanshnookenraggen. I have much respect for you, your abilities and I've always loved your maps and the finds. Never, never, never stop posting. Second - we're not always going to agree, but I will always listen Third - Insulting the inanimate Hurley is not an insult to you. I just really...

The compromise is building around it and covering up this mistake as much as possible. I do not want to keep it purely as a 1000 foot square monument to hubris. I'm not a pure lover or hater of brutalism. I just know a building shouldn't hurt you when you lean on it, or accidently walk to...

I’m thinking there wasn’t much foresight about a future state then. By the way they located the HVAC and power sheds around the Airport T stop and how little space was allocated for any sort of tram system it means we’re going to have to do a little property acquisition.

I swear... it's like the bus drivers designed this concrete craptacular to protect their jobs! You couldn't design it any worse!

NIMBYs with a bankroll. Nothing dangerous about that. /sarcasm
