Came home to Southie today for the Street Festival.

It's down in the bottom section of the Theater of Electricity, where Virtual Volleyball used to be. We got assigned to the temporary Sharks exhibit for our sleepover in the main gallery in the West Wing. As long as we weren't by the T-rex I was fine.

Was that Congress Street building sinking at all? My dad always told us it was whenever we were by it.

The wife and I travelled down to Mystic this morning for an exhibit at their arts center. I had been to the Aquarium and Mystic Seaport but not the downtown proper. Walking was limited as she's due in a month, but what we saw was lovely, if not a bit reminiscent of other towns (it's like a cross...

Awesome photos! Never got to the Burlington Mall until much later in life, and by that point it had been renovated again into it's current state. Looks like it was an amazing place in the 1990s. Sears logo is burned in my memories as part of my childhood, mostly from going to another mall...

Punchlist, maybe? Looks like the contractors have yet to demobilize.

It's weird to me that Hasbro's headquarters were so much more understated than Herman Miller's. You'd think the toy company would want to be more playful.

Praise the Wayback Machine! Saved some of these photos myself just because this place doesn't exist anymore and it's worth preserving images here. Love that crunchy early digital image look. First 2 are 2006 (when I would have been over there occasionally, since I was at WPI), the others 2001...

I went looking for Labelscar earlier since it had good photos of Greendale too, but I didn't realize it had finally disappeared. Maybe the Internet Archive still has it.

That view of CambridgeSide from across the canal is peak. It's a shame they've futzed with it the last few years, it's still mostly there but with the lack of all that lighting, the trees on the roof, and the larger surrounding buildings it simply doesn't present the way it used to. It had a...

A look at that meeting:

That's a really interesting setup, since both arenas are visually identical except for the sizing. In that scenario, the basketball side can be converted to multiple courts, which means it would have uses outside of game days that would prohibit them from just doing the Bull Gang changeover from...

Milwaukee comes to mind - the current Bucks arena is just a parking lot away from the old Bucks arena, which is now used for college games: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DeL2ULoYyLU3RcTdA The metro areas which have both NHL and NBA teams but they don't share an arena are relatively few, and to some...

I wonder if this would still be the case if the DCU Center didn't exist.

No exterior signage, but Lego has photos of the interior, and it is quite lovely: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2025/may/the-lego-group-officially-opens-new-world-class-boston-hub

Well, since you asked... It's pretty obvious already, but racing is my first love. I'm named after NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough, so it was inevitable, although I've drifted away from modern NASCAR to IndyCar and IMSA over the last couple of decades. I finally got a nice-ish camera a couple of...
