But, is it the worst from a resident's perspective? The neighborhood and the Red Sox all got exactly what they wanted: No new construction, no height, no shadows on the Victory Garden and War Memorial (how shadows could even fall south here was asked and not answered in a public meeting a few...

Seems to have evolved/expanded from last night. (Yup, I still take bad, blurry pics, sorry!)

All lit up tonight. (Sorry, I take terrible pics, but it looks nice. Stop by, if you can!)

I don't know where to ask/put this (my better half, who usually explains this political shit to me, is on a plane right now), but I don't get the maths here. How is someone with less votes winning more percentage of the vote? Is there some predictive analysis the city is reporting on, re...

Looks like the base of 500 Boylston Street pinched out a masonry turd. :-/

II was thinking about this earlier. Did the orange marshmallow's lackeys push the ballroom through DD/CD in his first term, and they could just dust it off? Incredible they already started demo, with apparently no effort to salvage/sell things like windows, molding, etc. Bizarre. ETA: typo fix

The crane just peeking out. Pic taken from Boylston/Cambria behind the Berklee School of Music, looking south at St. Cecilia church last night (taken on my crappy iPhone). I'm no kz when it comes to pics, lol.

The (foundering? failed?) Peebles development of Parcel 13 relocated the underpass connection to the Samuels site and the main fare gate entrance to be south of 360 Newbury Street (closing the existing entrance to the old Transportation Building and Hynes/ICA). I've heard whispers that the...

I walked up Belvidere just as the fountain was being turned on this morning. Love the decent color relationship of the white of Symphony Towers and this building. Good on the design team. ETA: I think maybe I didn't do the photo thing properly. Sorry, I'm a techno idiot!

It strikes me, as I followed the thread today, there are some complicating factors at play with Parcel 13. (Others with more info, please correct any of my understanding here!) The Commonwealth (e.g. state) put the Parcel 13 air rights out to bid. Peebles was awarded it, and then (his kid) had...

So, what happened to the "100% affordable apartment tower" with "125 on-site" units he was talking about in 2022 to get the CAC and neighbors on board?

Given the amount of time you spend in my neighborhood (and, I suppose, your old neighborhood), I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths. On the off chance it's you, I'm just gonna start talking to people I see with decent-looking camera rigs. ;)

The moon behind the tower and crane last night.

Or, do both: a flying junction at the Newbury Extension for a west-bound on-ramp and west-bound exit ramp to Comm Ave. (Has the added benefit of pissing off the Harvard Club.)

Someone in the Mayor's office is spearheading a Red White and Blue lighting scheme for buildings on the 09/11 remembrance (I'm blanking on his name at the moment). I'm doing some testing this Sunday in a few of my buildings with lights. I know a few other folks with lighting who plan to do the...

I mean, I can't disagree, but we also do still have the legacy of Krupp (now ThyssenKrupp), Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, the Associated Press, Ford, Adidas [neé Dassler Brothers], IBM, Hugo Boss, Chanel, DuPont, and many others who were compliant + complicit with Hitler's Nazi regime, all in the...

There's only so much saturation a neighborhood can take before it becomes untenable, unreasonable, and unlivable. Maybe the C's should look to somewhere like, say, Medford?

kz, you should swing by 1249 Boylston next time you're in the neighborhood.

Never mind the BB groups, imagine opposition from the abutters: BPX, St. Cecilia and the archdiocese, the BAC, the Berklee School, the new owner of 855 Boylston Street, the Sheraton (or whoever owns them nowadays), Northeastern University (Sheraton south tower), Druker (Colonnade), 4 Seasons...

What's the east-bound, subterranean-esque ditch thing from the West Front of LMC to the north-side, near where the D-Line goes surface?
