yeah even just being there for a couple hours on a saturday it really stuck out how every public grill seemed to have 3 families happily sharing it. I love NYC and will always talk about the unique community it brings together, but Roosevelt Island felt like something completely different and in...

some of those new developments seem out of place still. that new building across from the fire dept and NETA looks nice, but then they put in a kitchen supply store that seems like something you need a parking lot for and isn't going to bring in a lot of foot traffic. The only pedestrians I see...

In NYC people would be lined up all day to go to that Museum of Ice Cream location. I always thought what a waste of a day in NYC

I'm Glad Kimballs is the high water mark here

what was that like commuting to Roosevelt Island? I visited once when I was living in NYC and it just seemed like a headache to deal with, but Roosevelt Island seems like a nice community

Funny that i never see people in DC complain about how deep their subways can be... Outside of the obvious environmental issues that could arise in the near future, I honestly don't mind a deep station. I think the only place where I've genuinely been irritated by it was London's Bank station...

totally agree, but now thinking about it all i can see is the potential "progressives want to take down the iconic 'BOSTON STRONG' bridge" headlines from the herald

RIP to a better Bowker, maybe in 15 when it starts to deteriorate again

big nitpick here but I think shortening "Hatch Memorial Shell" to "Hatch Shell" might be worth it, though I can totally hear "Hatch Memorial Shell" in Frank's voice

Yeah I always loved the look off those cars, only just a bit more than weaving through the people who were too scared to drive on the tracks.

Damn now we lose the Huntington St fast lanes! /s About time to have a dedicated transitway for the rest of the E, excited to see how this works out. maybe improves headways not having to deal with dickheads on the road.

Yeah I also remember a slew of ads on the subway saying "if you hit 13 before sunday, you ride free", but I guess they didn't want to make a whole new slew of ads

I wonder how contactless fees compare against increased usage & fare evasion. I think just tapping your phone (not even having to activate Apple Pay/Google whatever) makes it so easy to pay that it's a no brainer to take the subway. There's no longer the hurdle of tourists/first time users...

are they doing anything outside of its name to help the music community here? If you have a name as bad as Lyrik, you better have some practice rooms or a basement venue space for students.

Really interesting map here. I find a fantasy MBTA map funny when it does nothing to service southie, but I love the amount of connections here. Still would think some more current green line connections would really build out this map (as well as southie), but I'm biased

surprised more people aren't talking about this. I guess Milton won't feel the worst of this until later, but it'll be interesting to see how the consequences play out

excited to see this completed! currently that stretch is either just people flooring it or BC Football parking, so i'm glad there will be more use outside of just that .

Does this plan not contradict/invalidate the recent Bowker Overpass proposals?

Looks like the BPL is auctioning off renaming stations on a (truncated) T map as a fundraiser. Pretty fun idea. Thoughts on potential renaming? As iconic as it is, changing Park to Boston Common might be the only way to help out-of-towners and suburbanites to finally get the name correct.

looks like that was posted on April 1...
