Which subsection of GLT projects is going to decrease travel time? https://www.mbta.com/projects/green-line-transformation

+1. I was originally sad that this had hit such a huge roadblock, but honestly I’m glad that the BPDA prevented this from being a “forever” construction site. Hopefully we get a new direction for the site quickly.

But they pulled out of that because they decided building directly on top of Haymarket station was too hard or didn’t make sense financially. As much as I too would like that version, I don’t see it happening without some kind of miracle.

If we’re lucky, the economics won’t line up for the lab building in our current climate and that portion of this project will be put on hold indefinitely. Hopefully if that happens, they won’t leave the plot of land fenced off.

That spot’s not even in Boston! 🤐 I’m so sorry to hear that.

Ah, yes. What a clear, deliberate photo of Boston City Hall 🙄 And any skyscrapers included in the downtown or back bay photos are meant to be interesting background pieces. The photographer isn’t saying “look how attractive the base of One Boston Place is”, rather “look how neat it is that...

But also how there’s no street-level interaction and walking vibe built in the last 100 years that’s worth photographing.

Is the dream of getting entertainment/leisure businesses back to Revere Beach a total lost cause at this point or is there still some hope?

I love it and now won't accept any other name. However, rather than "Bake'll", I think it will be abbreviated as "BPYV" and pronounced as "Beep Yiv".

She's from Charlestown, right? Big endorsement, then, if true! Edit: actually a quick Google search is not really supporting that connection.

Can anyone explain why Revere never re-built the arcades, fun houses, roller coasters, etc? At what point did the city of Revere say "actually, this is all just going to be condos now"? Also fascinating that no one is swimming. Do we think it's due to water quality or just the wrong time of year?

Or maybe “I know the narcan in my hand may save this man overdosing in front of me. But doing so won’t end the opioid crisis, so I guess I won’t bother.”

I don’t think any single plot of land anywhere is big enough to solve the housing crisis.

Never a good sign when half the street names are “Blah Blah Drive” or “Blah Blah Connector”.

The residents of Brookline in the 1800s decided that tribalism and provincialism would rule the metro area for the foreseeable future. You can’t blame Bostonians for asking people to respect the boundaries they were given. It can’t be “won’t anyone think of the suburbs!?” only when it’s an...

Folks around my age might recognize this local band from hits like “Love Drunk” and “The Great Escape”, but here is some cool new music from the group:

Anyone want to summarize? The globe won’t let me pay for the individual article, and I’m not creating a subscription to read this one story.

Apparently, Encore must be on the verge of bankruptcy due to no one wanting to commute through/to Everett.

While I’m sure that Woburn has never been a “tranquil” and “quaint” place within my lifetime, I’m not convinced it was those things in my parents’ lifetimes either. This is the city where the drinking water was so incredibly polluted by industrial waste that it was giving kids cancer. Not...

I graduated high school in 2014 and I stayed in the city for college. I only moved out in 2019. So, I wouldn’t say I’m totally ignorant to Boston’s demographics. When Fenway throws “Dominican night”, do you really think the only Dominican people there are ones who drove down from Lawrence? Kids...
