I think people are looking at convenience over practicality here. You can walk to East Boston from Boston Proper. You just take Main Street in Charlestown to Broadway in Everett, then walk down RBP to Second Street and take it into Chelsea, walk under the Tobin, and make your way across to...

Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high Beal / Related also held onto to 131 Clarendon when building the mixed use Clarendon. Any redevelopment will probably fill in Quaker Lane (boo) and hopefully Ned's Spite Parcel (Hurray).

How many accidents are going to be caused by people going southbound on the Zakim looking up to see if they can find someone naked in their apartment? I'm a fan of the concept, not the materials of this place. Short shrift on a what is really a gateway parcel to the city from the north.

Ha! I wish the third floor had retained the cassette conveyer belt. There are ghosts on that floor that must still say "I had the Howard Jones and Alphaville".

We may be talking about two different things here. I am talking about where Finagle a Bagel used to be on the corner of Winter and Tremont. Did we get sidetracked onto old Shawmut's? The one you have in the picture retained its ATM for a long time while Snyder's replaced Shawmut in the 80's...

I had smoke coming out of my ears listening to this. I can't think of one residential structure that was taken down, unless you talk about homeless people living in the Gaiety, in Chinatown in the past 15 years. Affordable housing has increased in Chinatown over the past few years with the...

"Can somebody give me a summary of Dorchester community and good areas to invest in. Or does Dorchester just have no Hope. " As a born and raised Dot Rat, I can say this is one of the lousiest comments I have ever read on these posts.

Boston Five, had a similar Boston skyline silhouette on the upper wall behind the tellers. Same as the one where the chocolate shop in the Lenox. Will swear on it.

Can we widen Washington Street here on the westerly side, just a little? If we are ever going to get light rail back into the South End and Roxbury, this and Warren Street near Grove Hall are the biggest chokepoints for traffic. 30 years from now Washington Street will have a lot more density...

Have you walked down Salt Lane recently? Plenty o'grit for the nostrils. Lay out some raw hamburger and stand about 50 feet away. You will get a gritty rat soon enough.

Re: South Boston Development Winter of 1982, got trounced by Gate of Heaven 7th Grade CYO basketball team in that gym. Good riddance. BeeLine - Thanks for the pics. Has anyone noticed West Square? Stupid name, appealing yellow brickwork, at least on the West Second Street and C Street...

Re: Ink Block | Boston Herald Property Redevelopment I have used the under I-91 parking lots. Not bad, Good for Springfield, considering downtown Springfield. However, the amount of pedestrians killed / maimed / molested under the Expressway by the Herald along Albany Street will be in the...

Yes, but you, me, Lenny Clarke, Emily Rooney, Sully from Teele Square, and everyone else owns Washington Street in DTX. Mort Zuckerman and his shareholders own the Huntington Arcade at the Pru. You can do a lot with private versus public property. That is why the homeless at the Pru don't go...

It is kind of funny that we are talking about rent and a bank at the corner of Winter and Tremont. That spot was a Boston 5 for years before FAB came into the space. The concept of food is a newish one there. Also, that building was the highest assessed property in the state in 1920 on a PSF...

Mel King is a fossil windbag. Mel owns a full townhouse on Yarmouth Street assessed, not worth, assessed at $1,706,400, which means it is worth more than $2,000,000. If Mel is so concerned about affordable housing let him divvy up his house into apartments (like most were in the Elysium which...

Re: South Boston Development The mid-intersection headhouse used to be the main bus depot. The anticipated replacement of the bridge in 2000 and the addition of HC entrances/elevator made the southeasterly corner bus loading area much more feasible with the mid-intersection construction...

It would be great if Washington Street was allowed to be a little wider here, just a little, please. Any loss in site could be made up with an increase in allowed FAR. If Washington Street was ever to get light rail, this chokepoint could be made a little less choky. An easement along...

Ha! The Mount Greylock Veterans Memorial Tower is the tallest manmade structure in the state. Just playing with semantics you know.

Re: Emerson college expansion into Boylston Place Has anyone noticed the near dominance of liquor licenses in the core of the city? I think the Sweetwater and whatever Zanzibar (Dating myself, Links Club anyone?) is called now being razed is not going to impact ones ability to receive alcohol...

Does he get his Eagle Scout badge now for this piece of community service related improvements? Finally, something in the neighborhood to take everyone's mind off of the Irish Famine Memorial statues.
