    Good. Nothing ruins an otherwise decent neighborhood like a vacant lot the size of Nebraska. I would love to see more of the same across the street

    Then let them challenge. 150,000 daily commuters should not be able to circumvent Mass state law because they say so

    Massachusetts can require a certain level of car insurance. Can Massachusetts require motorists to have a car inspected to drive it in the state?

    North End Piazza on The Greenway | 198 Hanover Street | North End

    I like it, it faces the park so it will be welcoming to tourists and it repairs a frayed edge of the old medieval city

    273 Havre has the worst front door ever. It looks like a back door

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    This is a short video of the Celtics rally in 1986 that is worth watching because it shows a lot of Government Center at the time in a very flattering way edit: Or just skip to the last 20 seconds

    In a perfect world expanded tolls would pay for their intended purpose. Won't they promise the world and then they will just take the toll money and use it for something else? For example, the cigarette tax was supposed to go to a robust anti-smoking campaign, because the children, now it goes...

    Photo of the Day, Boston Style: Part XIX (2025)

    That is Walter Baker Chocolate in Lower Mills along the Neponset Greenway. You are standing on the so-called "IB" or iron bridge that was a popular teenage hangout. There used to be a giant 8 story chocolate bean silo that the kids loved to climb too. There are tunnels that connect most...

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    It is not just a "practical" difference, it was two different things completely. One federal and the other local. But that is besides the point. Some people just want to tell you that you are wrong so they talk about Urban Renewal and they don't want to hear about anything else. Ironically, it...

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    I wasn't even defending the architecture, though I will if you would like. I was explaining why I thought City Hall was not a "failure." I am not so sure that the success that you see city-wide today would have happened at all without the "New Boston" plan. It is too bad that people equate it...

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    It is appropriate, they're local. Let's hope that both the soccer team and the student athletes get the maximum stadium for the minimum price Edit: Why does it say "Bimbo" on that shirt? Is that okay?

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    I don't remember the 50s and 60s but I remember the 70s and the bicentennial. The promise of city hall was a space to attract people as tourists in Town from the neighborhoods with events, and then it was a starting point to Quincy Market , the Freedom Trail, and the Aquarium, In that way GC was...

    City Hall Discussion - Redevelopment - Preservation - Relocation

    Can a building and plaza that has hosted over a million people (at once) be considered a failure? Very few buildings in the US can say that. Was "New Boston" in general a failure, not in my opinion. "Ugly" and "failure" are two different things. The former is a matter of taste (of which social...

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I am sure that she is happy that the Boston Legacy get to play this year in Kraft's stadium. That did her, the team, and White Stadium a big favor. They were able to secure financing and put $100M in escrow for stadium construction. If the team were to back out now the city could build a great...

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    Excellent infill on a small lot, though it seems big for only 3 units. I guess that each will have the whole floor and no "triple" decks
