The POMO station was a big deal back when that neighborhood struggled, it filled a yawning hole in the streetscape that isn't noticeable now.

The "new" Back Bay Station design was influenced by the one that burned in 1928

It's not too bad because it's replacing the surface parking of the building next door. But yes, Southie freaks out about parking

I do remember funny ones. I struggle when people lack self awareness

So, is Phantom Gourmet actually doing this because the Facebook announcement sounded absolutely nuts, like AI making fun of North Shore Kiss 108 people. I mean I don't doubt it but Kowloon in the Fenway? Jim Sokolove and Ernie Boch Jr as bartenders?

I was big into Kenny Rogers back then until my aunt gave me Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on 8 track. Still my favorite album

This is actually a modern problem. You wouldn't be so casual way back when before the internet because you might get to the registry to renew your license and stand in line for literally 3 hours on Nashua Street only to find that you missed paying a ticket so then need to go to City Hall to...

I did. The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish boy band from the 70's that my (now middle aged) sister was completely obsessed with

Me too. The controversy was always about East Milton and now that isn't an issue. But now Boston that needs to come up with a similar development plan for the area because there are far more large developable lots on the other side of the river right near the same trolley stations.

The city saved Fenway Park by saying no to stupid ideas like the Megaplex or building on the literal Fens and double dog daring them to go elsewhere many times in the last half century plus. At one point these stable geniuses suggested a 600 car parking structure where Fenway is now

That's fake news. The groups were formed to fight the wrecking ball at a time when Mission Hill homes were being taken by eminent domain, torn down and replaced with nothing. A good example is the back of the hill where Lahey Clinic tore down hundreds of apartment buildings and then moved to...

Okay, but the city web site says they are doing foundation work but I do want to know as much as the next guy because I am an avid supporter. My first reaction was lukewarm but the lease is there for all to see and I believe the risk is worth the reward particularly because the city has $100M in...

How long in your expert opinion(s)?

Do you know something we don't?

https://www.dotnews.com/2026/developers-plan-raze-little-house-site-for-42-suite-hotel/ I like how Frank Baker speaks about the Little House fondly but also sees what a great thing this development is

The new MBTA Community Districts Map for Milton

I also imagine that it makes it easier when applying for the grant from the state to not have to deal with the uncertainty of all of that

I would love to know how it happened and what the exact plan is. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for other reporting on the subject because I am not going to pay and still not know. What I suspect is that building it here will allow them to build completely from scratch which I imagine is...

You hear this all the time, why don't we just rip everything down and build like Paris? Well, there is no conspiracy here. If you ripped down this neighborhood (which I think would be dumb), you would be over a billion $ in the hole. How exactly could any building pencil in with such land...

I wouldn't be surprised if they built a new Madison Park here and then the John D. O’Bryant School of Math & Science takes over and renovates the current site. The schools share some facilities now and they both need space. Madison Park is supposed to be the most expensive thing the city itself...
