    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Given twenty or so years, assuming they can keep the trees healthy, it will look a lot better.

    585 Kendall | 585 Third Street | Kendall Square

    So many layers of texture…

    Tufts Residence Hall | 401 Boston Avenue | Medford

    Maybe those landlords will start itching for the Mystic Valley Parkway extension of the Green Line.</sarcasm>

    Red Line Extension to Arlington Heights

    Is the RLX getting to a length where an express track would be useful?

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    This one currently looks like an over built erector set

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    Yeah. I sprang for first class, so I had lounge access. It’s a beautiful, but hostile, space for people that don’t have access to the lounge. However, the contrast to South Station is stunning. That waiting area is in serious need of a renovation.

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    Between the new Avelia trains and the Moynihan train hall, my recent trip to NYC was down right civilized.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    The Amtrak lounge at South Station has a nice collection of old school photos of South Station.

    New England Electrical Grid

    Would building New England Clean Power Link help? It was one of the alternative proposals in the solicitation that yielded NECEC. I think it has all the required permits.

    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    I agree. Children’s does maintain tight security, so folks need a reason to be there. Most folks who have a reason aren’t going to stop to notice the architecture. 333 needs a bit of TLC. You can see the tarps collecting leaks on the upper left gallery. The clock wasn’t working either.

    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    A hidden bit of post-modernism in the Boston Children’s outpatient building. The furnishings are a bit beaten up, but they are original.

    Sidewalks/Walkability in Massachusetts

    Repeal the default right on red. It doesn’t directly address the concurrent signal problem, but it does reduce the number variables in the mechanics of how intersections operate.

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    It’s a creature of the pre-2019 zoning which feels like it was designed for a long past economic cycle.

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    59 Bow. The house at 63 is beginning to feel like a nail house.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    60-62 Line St. This is an old double lot that had a single triple decker. It’s getting a gut rehab and an ADU. The hole is for a new triple decker. Amusing to see the spray painted smiley and frowny faces on the soil. I guess that the frown is for controlled soils.

    Nice of them to leave an exit for Maryanne…
