And here I was thinking they’d want those to be labs since they’re Christian Scientists and all……….:)

Great pics, 22marc. Res Ipsa Loquitor. Anyone need any more proof that Cambridge Crossing is a ghost town????? Granted, it WAS the day before Thanksgiving, but I’ve been there on normal weekdays several times - early morn ing, mid-morning, late afternooon and while there are several nannies...

I agree, it IS as vey lovely park…..but not much “city” around it to “block out”. THAT is the tragedy of Cambridge Crossing. It is so close to both North Station and Kendall Square, yet they built it as if it were Burlington, MA. There is very little urban activation here, low pedestrian, low...

I’m in the right place, son. And, as we can all see right there, was 100% successful in actually making you state a “why” for your usual Ding Dong Ditch posts. There’s hope for you yet, if you can grow up.

Don’t wait for an elucidation from him. His modus operandi is to ring the doorbell and then run away. He makes blanket statements without explanation - it’s what he does. He’s been asked over and over to give the “why” to his kneejerk pronouncements, but he has no interest in actual...

It’s like the Patriots offensive line on the one yard line.

Yeah, that’s not what RandomWalk was saying. His words: “I would not be surprised if LEED mandates end up driving designs towards the larger floor plates. It’s probably easier to hit the efficiency numbers over a larger plate than a collection of smaller ones.” That long building looks like it...

I’m being Captain Obvious in predicting THAT (along with the pedestrian bridge over the Public Gardens swanboat pond) is going to be one of the most photographed spots for couples visiting Boston. Well done. Cities should be filled with mirth, whimsy, creativity and these types of spots...

Oooooof……… https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/28/business/simmons-university-sees-credit-rating-slashed-junk-by-moodys/?p1=BGSearch_Overlay_Results

I dunno about the folks here claiming it’s a 25 minute walk. Google Maps says it is 0.8 miles - - 18 minutes by foot, 6 minutes by bike.

Damn, that last balcony view of the skyline pic may be worth the emphysema!

Wasn’t that Gertrude Stein’s take on Oakland?

It’s too garish for Disney.

I agree - - and you're so right about 100 Centre Street (the gray bunker to the left). My folks lived there a few years - - very sweet staff work there, but wow, it must have been built by the Bulgarian Government in 1970.

from the article: ".....The Salem City Council approved the amendments to the city's zoning code in a 10-1 vote at its meeting last Thursday (with the lone opposition vote coming from Ward 1 City Councilor Cynthia Jerzylo) following a unanimous recommendation from the city's Planning Board....."...

This is from 3 weeks ago, and I'm sure more progress has been made, but it's the most thorough video experience I've seen so far (I sure hope they do more on the platforms to make it look less "Mogadishu"):

To be sure, but along with those very valid reasons, alot of the "slower" is because of Ballantyne. The new Mayor - whether Wilson or Burnley will be a big change - - I see both (for different reasons) being more of a wider spigot for dense residential construction going forward. Pro-developer...

Yeah, I did a double-take also when the previous poster said that about Everett, while praising Somerville. Everett is hitting far above its weight class re: residential unit building. Given the golden platter Somerville has been bestowed with the GLX, their current rate is disappointing. I...

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw: '"Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I wonder what a project would have looked like if developed by Steve Samuels and ask why not". :)
