No, Home Depot was there too. Good Times was, I believe, where the Partners Healthcare building is to the left of the entrance, with Home Depot being on the right. I lived at the very beginning of Broadway next to The Mount Vernon restaurant back in the late 90s to early 00s and used to walk...

I live in Woburn, near the (almost completely dried-up) Aberjona Creek, which was the spilloff from the old tannery, which was actually off Washington St further up. That very large site is still half undeveloped (across from the exit from 95), where awhile ago there had been a car dealership (I...

That sounds promising but if they hold onto the property, as it sounds like they might, it will remain a sad and depressing wasteland, even if they do eventually get around to taking down the unused smokestacks. I'll at least keep my fingers crossed for their removal, if not the sale of the...

I'm confused... are you being sarcastic? Losing a Santander Bank with a big parking lot? Is that the something with character?? And you're complaining about the design of a housing project (which is generic but certainly not unattractive) that also contains a very needed little market on the...

It was called the Woburn Mall before. Now Woburn Village is the new name of the whole complex including the apartments/condos.

Believe me, I'm ALL about maximum height anywhere and everywhere it is possible. I just never imagined anything super tall in this CX location because it would seem extremely out of place in context of all that's around it. I would say that a 900+ft tower around North Station area would be fine...

I think Winthrop will be finished before this!

"The development is the architectural equivalent of this. It's nothing to be proud of, even if you like the park space. Sorry not sorry." Wow, somebody's got a flair for the dramatic!

Wow that's a LOT more than I counted! I guess some of the larger looking blocks may in fact be 2 or more lots, but that makes this a more complete neighborhood when some more housing components are added.

That was going to be my response as well. It works as a barrier here because it's not like there's a view of the ocean or even downtown, it's just elevated highway, and in that sense it doesn't completely isolate it any more than the T tracks and other ground barriers always have. It's the best...

That drone video was awesome! I was trying to count how many more buildings are still yet to start in the Crossing- maybe 4 or 5 more? I drive by this pretty much every day on 93 but never get to see in between and get that aerial perspective so it's nice to see how well this is turning out!

I like this a lot and in fact wish it was a bit taller to have more impact, but my concern is how redundant this plus the other stacked-book proposal around the corner at Back Bay station will look together. Will it be too much? Plus having the other one at BU (though you won't really be able to...

It seems as though the top half glass is going to stick out further than the bottom half glass. How are they going to align the 2 halves? Also I thought the redesign was eliminating those overhangs on the corners? I'm confused by this but I definitely like the red accents.

Something about that facade just isn't sitting right with me. Maybe it's the off-centered alignment, or the color, or the visible gaps between panels, I'm not sure it's going to come out looking like the renders. I know the glass will probably make a difference, but just looking at the glass...

That's just not true. Already we're seeing the bars and clubs coming back til 2am and spilling out til 2:30 or so, and there are many neighborhoods that this exists other than Theater District. More bars and clubs will be opening up throughout Boston, Somerville, and Cambridge, and there is a...

Not to be crude, but some people I know have already started referring to this building as "The Vag", because of the shape of the slit up the middle. As a gay man, I have no idea what they're talking about lol though actually the ones I heard say that were also gay...

I kept thinking this was going to be hidden by the Hancock from most angles but as I'm seeing this more clearly with the crane, it actually will be very visible and help fill that void between this and the Pru. Now if we could get Copley tower built and something sizeable on the lots around Club...

Looks like a school.

From some of those river views above, I think this is going to look to be roughly the same size as MT (I know it's actually going to be shorter, just the perspective). What a difference that and the addition of Winthrop will be to that downtown view!

I stated this earlier that I have a close friend who is in luxury condo sales in the city and she says the interest in this is greater than almost every other luxury residence in development. She told me that close to half of the units have deposits and many other interested parties were waiting...
