Re: TD Garden Towers Isn't that pretty standard language the BRA gives developers to use?

Sort of but no, because the study is presumed to be privately funded so it's not government giving money to anyone in this case. But that wasn't my point. Do we really need a study to know that anal sex with a hamster is bad news bears? No. But I could commission Fenway Health to do one...

Why not take that $3M for the study, skip the study, and literally walk around handing out $100 bills? A study for something that'll never happen is a waste of money.

Why did this need a separate topic? We all read threads that get bumped.

The reasons for construction can be varied, self-serving and not always with an eye to patient care (Shapiro) plus aspirational elements are often VE'd out.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans They didn't stay up long. They took them down today. lol, wtf Berklee EDTI: Saturday they put one back on that they took down Friday. wtf

I don't know how they think they'll get 1200 and 1800. More like 1600 and 2500, respectively.

Re: Boston Conservatory of Music buys 132 Ipswich St Disappointing looking. I get the need for big volume rehearsal space. I wonder if they looked at what the 42nd St Studios did to create an interesting exterior.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans Saw they have some panels attached on the alley walls today.

Re: 1085 Boylston Street Development The neighborhood was in unanimous support of this project as a way to step down from Parcel 12 and restore the streetwall. It's one of Harold Brown's projects and given how restrictive Hamilton's gotten in vetting potential leaseholders (you essentialy...

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans One of the guys told me it's temporary. If you're close enough you can see it's only about 3 ft from the edge of the building. Presumably the dorm rooms (quick to finish) are on the exterior walls and bathrooms, stairs and elevators (longer construction times) are...

Re: Verizon Building Tower Who said they're removing the Bell logo? The pic on the prior page still shows it, and the pic Statler posted is from an older, defunct proposal. I mean, has anyone walked by to confirm? Does anyone even know what they're actually doing to it? Breathe into a paper bag...

Re: The Victor I'm with kz. We all may hate it but it functions.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos The MBTA, quietly giving up since 1964.

Re: MassDOT Pike Parcels 12 - 15 | Boylston St. + Mass. Ave They got quite a bit of shit for this at the recent CAC meeting. And also for blowing more money to have Parsons do a study. Smells very fishy.

If this is the nicest weather it will be all summer I quit show business. The hyperbole is really stunning, especially since anyone who spends any time near the finish line knows that the week in advance is prepping for viewing stands, media tents, and runner amenities. It's really quite old...

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans /\ Huh? **At your request** someone you won't name who either works for the Globe (idiots) or the Herald (hacks) spoke to someone that won't be named and confirmed something that maybe or maybe not resembles the truth? The developer is the Berklee school. Why would...

Re: Boston Conservatory of Music buys 132 Ipswich St Tell that to neighbors who hyperventilate at anything taller than two storeys. FTR the plan is to return later to build to the permitted height. I hear they're overleveraged and in a corner because they couldn't renew a lease somewhere...

Re: The Point (Boylston/Brookline) Wasn't there a community meeting to present the final (engineered) design to the neighborhood earlier in the month? I vaguely remember reading something in the Courant or Fenway News.

You're right. I retract my earlier defense of trying anything at all.
