Crunchings and munchings for poor Gurgi

Expansion space for Spaulding Hospital?

Is that a refrigerator in the bottom left?

The hardscaping is straight out of the Porter Square “don’t let anyone linger” school of hostile design. Is there something in the soil that makes it difficult for trees to grow?

I understand it wouldn’t make sense without the infrastructure side being guaranteed. I was figuring it would be part of a plan that involved wiring the whole network. Run them in push-pull mode on the lines that haven’t completed electrification yet. Otherwise, how do you get from here to...

Cambridge Friends has been having some serious issues with enrollment and staffing. I’m not surprised that they are monetizing their property. The rest of the property may become available before too long.

The corner of Mass Ave and Milton.

Progress on the reconstruction of the Minuteman near Alewife.
