As if it needed more reasons to be hated for its ground level bad neighborliness.

Yikes. Not in particular. But a lit up city encourages more dynamic nightlife and energy, A dark city deadens it. It closes doors to revenue opportunities. To do business, you have to be open for business. No one wants to go down a totally dark street. If Boston didn’t tend to close down...

Tourism is bad??????? You may want to argue that with Massport, The Boston Tourism Bureau, the MCEC, and every single urban revenue expert alive. Thank God, we've left the "Banned in Boston" Puritanical mid 20th century. Last week my family did a thorough tour of the BPL AND had a great time...

".......and in the dystopian, burned out desolation, one man still stands - - - Lawyer Rob Levine - - call 1-800-ROB-WINS".

I really had high hopes for this area, but it truly is a dead spot. I took my girlfriend up to Boston last week and we stayed at the Omni Seaport - -kudos to all who developed that whole area - - -vibrant, alive, interesting (yes, it's not typical "Boston" but it adds a new flavor in a separate...

The two deals are not even in the same universe. Brockton is a facility with land value that they will actually own (they already acquired it from developer Mark Roukous). For the Legacy, Franklin Park is, technically, not even a real estate investment at all. They would be merely tenants...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/07/business/white-stadium-boston-financing-soccer/ So the City of Boston overlooked and/or didn't care that the Legacy didn't even have financing lined up when they inked the deal. Brilliant! I'm shocked. :cautious: The whole plan looks so perfect in every...

I don't mind this...

Perhaps there is a plan to move them nearby and to remediate the soil that they fucked up? (unknowingly, of course, I'm sure they're great people - hopefully, it is a win-win). But to hell with Nina Crowley.

She wants to keep it only because she claims it contaminates the soil so much that the tear down and build up would be too dangerous. "Among the grounds listed in Crowley’s complaint is an allegation that the site contains “elevated concentrations of contaminants” because of the dry cleaner...

So lemme get this right - “Nina” Crowley wants to KEEP the contaminating dry cleaner next door to her????? :confused:

It was a joke 😁

It's all because of those evil healthcaregivers!!!! I can't remember the last architecturally beautiful hospital in an urban area - - - I'm sure someone can post one - - but the reality is that they tend to need to be utilitarian in structure. My aunt's cancer ain't gonna be cured by sconces...

"......The Facebook rumor mill is a poor place get information from, but they're claiming that shrinkage is at least partially driving the decision....." Walgreens (like George Costanza) went swimming in a cold pool? .

I love this. Anything that brings new life to the city is great - - like an increased oxygen supply. A more lively city is a better city! Hopefully, this will serve as a model template for future copycats all around town. .

I can't stand the Herald, but let;s be careful out there with the "facts". That was Gerry Callahan on his WEEI show several years ago - - yes, he had been a sportswriter for the Herald, but it wasn't like it was a Herald Editorial Board thing.

Any updates on this - -especially the groundlevel parks/ramps? Last time I was there in late June it was still fenced off. I'm flying tomorrow again and will be staying in the Seaport - - would love to experience what should be a great walking space there.

"Just keep people sick so they continue to generate revenue and profits for the healthcare industry and big pharma." Somehow society claims our healthcare industries "keep people sick" yet celebrates every Dunkin Donuts opening. Where's that same anger against Frito Lay? Sure, ignore those...

..........not to mention the Undisputed World Champion Residents of Harbor Towers!
