I think you could make a case for this sure, but also Boston is just small physically. I was in London in the fall and it gives some perspective on what a truly large metropolitan city feels like, it feels very big!

This and the south end college I forget its name moving across the street it could really tie the room together nicely. This area is not very friendly as of now

Lex where are pics 4, 5 and 6 from? I dont recognize them

Im pro bike, I mountain bike as much as I can, I want there to more bike lanes where they are needed and if there were more on major thoroughfares, I would bike more often in the city.... I think these type of borderline militant bike lane opinions really hurt the overall cause. There's a fully...

I cant believe we're clutching pearls about the colorful corporate sign

The foot traffic was way, way up with the decorations apparent from before the holidays which was nice to see. There's one restaurant (bodega mexican speak easy type) in Echelon and that's it. I think once the harbor way across the street is fully open and people can cut thru to Congress street...

I never noticed they want to re-route D street, interesting. It makes sense with more density the existing weird intersection of D Damrell and Dot Ave would be a mess

I was disappointed to see the SOWA winter market had its last day December 17th and didnt run thru Christmas. Big swing and miss for me as I wanted to last minute shop there. The $10 entrance fee was a bit of a mental hurdle to get over but shopping in a less crowded, less insane and temperature...

Almost positive its the fallow project on E 1st/E 2nd and H

Greystar should just call themselves Evil Anonymous Corp

Strongly disagree. The residents of the City of Boston are light years different than most people in suburbia. 20 years ago I wouldnt have agreed with this but its very obvious in 2023. Accents, political attitudes, interests, conversations, age, fashion, world view, education, occupation...

Bostonian here, I agree with you but I also like the view from the pike when I'm coming back home so I sort of get it. The thing is, if anybody, especially on this board, bitches about the view from the pike they should never ever get to say a bad word about NIMBYS because they are one.

I agree but what if many retail storefronts sit empty for years and years? Wont they be forced to accept lower rents?

Red Sox tickets these days are an entirely different animal than Celtics, Bruins or Patriots. Sox are super cheap and the others are generally insanely high (Patriots lately have been cheaper)

If youre going to develop a 300ft building in a sea of 3 stories you better come with the architectural heat not whatever nonsense this is.

This looks like one giant superfund site, I'm all set living there no matter what they do to remedy it

I think you're getting too bogged down in minutiae here. Hotel guests fall out the front door onto Newbury and Boylston st its hard not to describe that as the heart of back bay. And yes of course its marketing jargon what else would it be?

Is that building being used? I thought I heard it was supposed to be a "BL4" but it never came to fruition

That plaza was underutilized and created a dead zone on boylston. 888 is no architectural gem but its far more engaging with the street now with a nice plaza and 2-3 restaurants with patios in the summer. The city is not worse off for it- you may want to realize you're in a very, very small...

Flower Exchange is completely stalled and was awaiting approval for the connection to frontage road. I would wager a guess market conditions would sink this project now even if it got the connection approvals. I would say shame its not happening but I forgot the designs are suspect at best; this...
