    Canopy by Hilton (née Haymarket Hotel) | Blackstone St | Parcel 9 | Greenway

    So that’s the design? Looks like a college dorm building that got lost on the way back from the kegger.

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    It’s the Women’s Industrial Union facade I’ll miss for its own sake. The rest I’ll miss mostly because the replacement is worse.

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    Yeah. Worcester sucks. Take out the trash Poodleboy!

    Oxford Office Bldg. | 125 Lincoln St | Leather District

    Unfortunately, with a height reduction, this will end up as just another block gobbling ground hog.

    Oxford Office Bldg. | 125 Lincoln St | Leather District

    The parking garage had more of a swinging 60’s feel before the facade panels were stripped off and other “improvements” made. It wasn’t awful!

    "Chesnut Place"? Says it all...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Come on guys. You didn't need a colonoscopy to see that this deeply veined anal canal was going to be one of the "three big lies".

    Thanks man! I love "Lovely Rita" too. The first time I heard it was in a strip club many, many years ago.

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    Its funny...once you hit old age and health problems develop, the question "will I live to see any of this" becomes non-rhetorical. Just like I thought 50 years ago that we'd have gone to Mars by now, I thought Boston would be more interesting today. But at the same time, just as 50 years ago...

    110 Arlington Street - Boutique Hotel | Bay Village

    Like it except for that vinyl gutter looking main cornice.

    Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

    I'm with you. That "new" design is like something out of a comic book. Could have saved money just by staining the current concrete rose color, and spared us the anti-RPG slats.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Only the part covering the platform for the Seahorse Special, apparently.

    Marriott Moxy Hotel | 240 Tremont Street (Parcel P-7A) | Theater District

    Rare foray on the motorway today. Returning from the south was surprized that the goofy squares had a pleasing aspect in the overall skyline mix.

    Bulfinch Triangle Infill & Small Projects

    Always a shame to lose a beer sign

    Very good, thanks! My young nephew thought it was REM! And named after the first car I drove too, silver blue 2 door with a white vinyl top, 351 Cleveland, and a few on the tree.

    No pedal can match the whump of a Leslie! Here are some tidbits of Georgie's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kctlEXQ4ovM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMmuo8C83S8 And the wiped Clapton work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7FMr6OXC4

    What are you listening to now?

    Gosh, I've always HATED "SLH"!!! But I'm absolutely with you on ATMP and LITMW. For kicks, look around YouTube for one particular outtake of "What Is Life" (not the joyous dancing chick one) that has Clapton's guitar right up to the fore, in full "Delaney and Bonnie" mode. Very different feel...

    What are you listening to now?

    Weak attempt at a save, but yes, musicians borrow. Never cared for "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite". Didn't like it in 67, and the "innovations" haven't aged well. Probably true of half of Sgt. Pepper. Pet Sounds and most of Revolver still sound fresh.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    KX, you are too good a guy to get wound up! The dude just likes tall buildings. Wouldn't read too much into it beyond that! Ha, not like any of this really matters anyway. Anyway, best wishes!

    What are you listening to now?

    I think that you may be confusing Pet Sounds with Sgt. Pepper... Anyway, here is a fun and exciting artist: https://www.brittanyanjou.com/
