Good. Good for the City of Boston And Good for Northeastern which is one of the growingly most popular universities in the world due to its achievements AND it's location. Win-Win. .

The color palette is incredible.

My God, I just read your linked article - - that guy is simply a terrible human being. There’s no other way to describe him except ‘malevolent’. I wouldn’t trust him at all. Take that shit by eminent domain.

A couple of new twists! Two interesting notes in today's Globe article that I didn't see in the October article: 1) ".....Beyond leasing the lab, TransMedics has also bought 5 acres of land next door from BioMed Realty for $30 million. BioMed had planned to develop two additional lab...

At least there is this ray of light for growth and construction in the region. And that commuter rail stop (built with PRIVATE money from Encore) is important. What's happening on the Everett Waterfront is transformative. The potential for a dynamic future on both sides of the Mystic River is...

And, possibly, the only place on earth to be chosen a national finalist for hosting the Summer Olympics to subsequently reject it.

I agree with you re: Wu won big with her negotiations on the Everett Stadium - - she knew she had Kraft by the short hairs and she played it well. Your last sentence, regarding White Stadium is also spot on…….and the key words are “at present”………there is something going on behind the...

Nobody is mourning the old building. It;s the ARCITECTURE of the IKEA-white cube being plunked down, instead of something more contextual for the corner across from Boston Common and the Granary Burying Ground that is the issue. It’s just a bad neighbor, architecturally. Context. And the...

Me too. I’ve been posting all along, but more from the vantage point that the big white cube architecture of this museum is completely out of character with that corner. It would fit very well elsewhere, but that location is out of context.

My daughter and I go to 2-3 Washington Spirit games per season and we always take the Metro in. That walk is no problem at all (obviously more of an issue for those with physical challenges). Plus, Audi field doesn’t have the waterfront transport access that this stadium will most probably have.

Kraft already donates use of Gillette Stadium for the 8 annual MIAA State Football Championship games. I have no idea if this will happen, but I’d roflmao if North Shore high schools played MORE football games in this beautiful 25,000 state of the art stadium that their towns paid ZILCH for...

You keep veering away from the discussion and turning this personal. The sure sign of someone who doesn’t have confidence in their point is to start throwing personal. This is a website to discuss ideas and development, not for personal agendas and attacks. Why can’t you stay to the subject...

Who would ever want that?? Baltimore is a sewer. YOU’RE those who is arguing FOR a (partially) taxpayer funded stadium (White) and AGAINST a privately funded one (Everett). Your point shows a concerning confusion. Unlike you, I’m AGAINST taxpayer funded stadiums (like Baltimore’s, where the...

Bingo. AND he’s still offering $15 million for Everett community center and housing plus the $750k to Boston across the river. Look, if the NIMBY’s want to keep that potential off the table and let Mystic River be what it has been, then that is definitely the way things have almost always been...

This is a great new development on the edge of- - 400 new jobs in a very highly sought future industry (think the future of shipping and delivery and what that can unleash for cleaner transport energy/faster movement, etc). Plus, they will more than double the ground lease rent to the City than...

I appreciate your very thoughtful and in depth post on this. However, Kraft is offering much more than $750,000 to Boston - - this development is in Everett. “The community” is across the Mystic River. In addition to the Brownfields environmental cleanup of that area along the Mystic, from...

Yup, and also plenty of potential options on the casino/stadium riverside too. Both sides of that Mystic River could be primed to be activated with cafes, parks, etc.

Once again, you are using the word “now” regarding an open palette. And Franklin Park is NOT an open palette. It will have to change character to attract the consumer the Legacy are targeting. That screams economic failure on every level - - the choice is stark - -either respect the present...
