……also the move to underground vs. above ground parking. At least it’s going in the right direction. I liked Leerink’s more urban/ambitious plan better too.

Honestly, if the BPD has problems with the later closings, it’s time to mechanize - it’s 2026, we longer have toll takers, tellers, gas station pump attendants, etc. This solves much (not all, of course) of the late night ride-along worries of the good folks at the Boston Patrolmen’s...

Mayor Wu: Lemme save you some rumination time, the need to establish committees to study the subject, the taxpayer expense to create algorithms and citizen feedback meetings: The answer is Yes. Now get on with it. (Post edit: Looks like Wu is on board - - it’s the Boston Police Union...

Not to be Oscar from The Office :D , but the celebration Scott was referring to was in June 1981, when the Celtics beat Moses Malone and the Houston Rockets after a series where, at the outset, Malone claimed he and 4 guys from his hometown could take the Celtics.

Still can’t believe Cambridge decided to build such a land scraper office park in such a great potential urban location. Just look at this one - 5 story, 200,000 squat behemoth. What a lost opportunity to stretch the urbanity out from Kendal Square and North Station. The comparison of...

What a great FREAKING shot!!!!! That is a view.

“The Connector - Where Boston Comes Together” ……..one of the truly great common civic spaces of the 21st century :cautious:

I respectfully mourn the memory of so many of the wonderful posters who are no longer with us from the first two pages of this proposed building project’s thread EIGHTEEN FREAKING YEARS AGO………..

Great work by that young man - - expertly centered the sunset over the smaller tower of Lyrik.

Hilariously, Wu actually wants credit for this office park in a great location. Almost as bad as the undersized and over expensed White Stadium. Dual legacies.

And just think of what an incredible improvement it would be on so many levels - - - clean up that one area and the ancillary benefits could very well domino out. The international youth hostel a few doors down, it’s at the foot of a very tall resi skyscraper, Emerson is all around, the theatre...

Believe me, they are not just “giving it up”. Lots of money and incentives will be changing hands.

Is it me, or does that render look remiscent of the old Holiday Inn off Rte 128 in Dedham?

Yeah, I love the idea of this development, but Faisal should be banned from ever being part of any real estate in Boston. He is the definition of Bad News: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/property/2021/11/17/alpha-management/

Look, I admire the INTENT. And I feel badly for the good people at Sasaki who tried here. The problem, imho, is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. The old saying "A giraffe is an animal created by a committee" works here. It does several things halfway - -plaza? lawn? tree lined bench...

However, I see no man with a gun over there, a-tellin' me I got to beware.

Thank you for your insight into this. I hope the best for you. Please keep us updated.

Cool!!!!! Which one were you???

The detail, window patterns and geometry of this building is what sets it apart from simply one of those Ken Doll sheets of blue glass. Love this!
