If I'm not mistaken, in both of these unfortunate accidents the car drove off the roadway and up onto the sidewalk. In light of the fact that the city has never demanded jersey barriers to protect people walking on a sidewalk it's seems like an over reaction under the circumstances.

More difficulties for outdoor dining (not just for the North End) New changes for this year: "a 22-page packet of city guidelines that lays out the measures restaurants must abide by if they want outdoor seating, including several new additions this year. Those range from mandatory automobile...

City of Boston set to implement 'fair housing' zoning amendment: https://amp.wbur.org/bostonomix/2021/01/13/with-city-board-approval-boston-set-to-implement-fair-housing-zoning-amendment

My 2 cents, many average middle aged Joes who have a family, extensive professional contacts/relationships, who have been schlepping in from the suburbs via transit or fighting traffic for years are probably enjoying the work from home flexibility for the time being. That being said, as a middle...

I'm not expecting much of an impact. There will be covid clusters within college student communities for which by and large covid is low risk. There will be a subsection of young people who will engage in covid high risk behavior on the weekends, social gatherings, drinking, mask off, lack of...

My thoughts as well - the trusses appear much too spindly.

I think there was outdoor dining/drinking in front of Sweetwater Tavern. Also in the 1990s there was a lunch place opposite of Sweetwater that would set out outdoor tables and chairs on a more temporary basis.

No, the lollipop building is the large dark building behind and to the left of 175 Federal as shown in the first pic on post #8 in this thread. The lollipop building is the building with long's jewelry store and i think sebastian's on the ground level. the lollipop structure was moved to...

Beacon Hill Pub to become fine dining establishment https://boston.eater.com/2019/9/30/20891065/beacon-hill-pub-redevelopment-upscale-restaurant

I agree, first I would think a hotel is more of a "shot in the arm" for this area than a dorm, hotel guest have disposable income and are looking to spend it versus college kids pinching pennies. Second colleges like suffolk and emerson have a horrible track record of putting drab institutional...

I saw this park in person, it's visually stimulating with lots of nooks and crannies crammed into a compact space. I can see how kids will love it. That being said, I recall the 70's, 80's and into the 90's when the mantra was often to retrofit parks, open them up and increase visibility for...

Behind the paywall - apparently Suffolk U wants to convert Ames Hotel into a dorm. Mixed feelings on this one.... https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2019/08/19/ames/WvS9eNblfZOPkBYsQB22QO/story.html
