    View Boston (Observatory) | Prudential Tower | Back Bay

    That's great news. The restaurant kinda sucked, so I'm fine with this.

    Boston University - Warren Towers Renovation | 700 Commonwealth Avenue | Fenway

    BU has an endowment surpassing $4 billion. So it's not Harvard by any stretch of the imagination in those terms, but it/they can still afford whatever the fuck they want.

    The Marc (former Our Lady of Victories Church) | 25-29 Isabella Street | Bay Villiage

    I like the Lucas better. This was a meh/boring church to begin with. I guess I'm glad they sort of preserved it just b/c most new development is alucobond, offset window boredom?

    Rose Kennedy Greenway

    The beer garden probably.

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Just curious how many folks who are trashing the new design/revamp have actually been there in-person vs. just seeing things via pix on aB. Everything like this is subjective and I don't think it's perfect, by any means (and 100% agree that the stretch of Dartmouth that blocks the plaza off...

    Museum Of Science Renovations | 1 Science Park | West End

    late '80s, actually, but who's counting

    American Repertory Theater | 175 North Harvard Street | Allston

    Proposed watertown ferry

    Certainly impractical as daily transportation, but if you live in or near Watertown and it's nice weather and you have time for a leisurely boat ride to Boston? Sure, why not? (Edit: they should stop referring to it as a "commuter ferry," though -- fully agreed on that)

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    This. Also, even with the open archways, those impressive arched ceilings are going to become fairly soot-covered sooner than I'd like to imagine (and given the T's horrible track-record of maintenance/cleaning, this could be awful -- unless maintenance of the arches come under the purview of...

    My HS architecture teacher thought 1 Financial was a gorgeous example of ribbon fenestration. I quite like it from the "skinny sides" in a very '80s aesthetic way (especially now with the lighting at night), but the fat sides are pretty awful. Unfortunate that one of those fat sides gets some...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    B, C, and D trains stop at Hynes, yes.

    50 Herald Street | Chinatown / South End

    Very true, though I enjoyed the "Dirty Old Boston"-ness of it.

    50 Herald Street | Chinatown / South End

    Good point. Mine was a largely selfish reaction, although I do feel that developments like this one speak to the increasing diminishment (that's a word, right?) of Chinatown.

    50 Herald Street | Chinatown / South End

    That's a bummer it closed. I'd occasionally go there for cooked duck eggs and wacky-flavored potato chips on my lunch break. There's another similar market just down the street, but still: a loss.

    Ah, gotcha. TY.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    That's fascinating (to me), because I've spent my life assuming those *were* residential towers.

    , unfortunately, the 9-5 prevents. WFH is great, but it won't allow for this. :( glad you got to go inside and up, though.
