Note, you confused 250 Washington with 294 Washington. 250 Washington was the address for the Devonshire apartment tower's office podium. As you can see here, 294 Washington is Synergy's residential conversion project, but 250 Washington (which, again, is to say, 1 Devonshire office podium) is...

At least, prior to August 2017, one could shake off the deep melancholic funk induced by Alewife's Bucharest 1976 vibes by walking ten minutes to Lanes & Games--the closest thing the Route 128 area had, following the closure of Wal-Lex in 2002, to the lanes showcased in the Big Lebowski, as far...

"can" is doing an awful lot of work here. Right now, unless significant track improvements have transpired in the mere five months since they debuted, they're actually running SLOWER than their predecessors in the Acela fleet. "Although the high-speed trains are advertised as 10 mph faster than...

1.) If not a regional Holocaust museum at 125 Tremont St., then what superior location within Boston city limits do you propose? Why would that location be better, objectively? 2.) When you write "all the tourists and visitors," you seem to be acknowledging that this location, being on the...

Yeah, studying the Google Maps aerial, it's quite clear that the tracks and all their associated infrastructure easements/complications, underlay a very significant portion of the lawn's overall footprint. That said--and not to wander off onto an excessive tangent--but this is another reason...

It's the perversely perfect bookend to that other hideous mid-80s landscaper on the far opposite end of the Downtown core, the Tip O'Neill federal building on Causeway St. (I'd argue the latter is far more devastating to the immediate urban fabric in that it's so close to the Lindemann complex...

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

It's possible, just possible, that a radically different sensibility informed the design of high-rise office environments in... [checks notes] ... 1957, when Paul Rudolph was envisioning 133 Federal? (Also, is it possible, just possible, that the building's 21st-century tenants substantially...

Tell that to the folks who brought you the 300+ luxury residential units stacked immediately above 133 Federal?

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Just a nitpick, but, this assertion is just wildly, ridiculously inaccurate, if you include PP Mall Garage. When I first started commuting from PVD just before the pandemic, the first day I drove in and parked at the garage embedded within the PVD train station, I complained to the parking-lot...

We did the Blackstone Valley polar express holiday train last night--delightful again. Admittedly, it was a little early in the holiday season for it--but that brought the unexpected benefit of our train car being only about 50% full and thus much less stuffy and more relaxing than when we...

I deeply appreciate your exasperation wading through an endless sea of boring soul-crushing conformist mediocrity, but for what it's worth whatever (very very small quantity of) towers get proposed and built in Downtown (barring unforeseen economic stagnation or outright catastrophe) with the...

A few other crucial factors at play here: --if the Celtics built and owned an arena with themselves as the primary tenant--for the 325 other nights a year when they're not playing, how are they going to fill the joint with paying gigs--from Taylor Swift and Nate Bargatze to monster-truck...

Should we be intrigued that the legislative paladin pushing to expose the full sordidness of whatever took place with the Pike plaza vendor procurement fiasco is, per AI, the "key champion" of South Coast Rail? That is, if Montigny uncovers something that is so thoroughly grotesque, would he...

I mean, the death sentence was practically pronounced as of last April; it was merely a question of finding one additional justification to heap upon the monumental debacle that was: Gov. Maura Healey thinks her top transportation deputy used a “very poor choice of words” during her recent...

In the 1960s, then-Mayor John Collins reportedly gasped as the design was first unveiled, and someone in the room blurted out, "What the hell is that?" https://architectuul.com/architecture/boston-city-hall

Prince Of Anti-Urbanist Design Le Corb says, tiens ma biere* *(hold my beer)

It's a pretty sad commentary (or is it marvelous indictment?) of the sorry state of American intercity rail relative to Western Europe and East Asia. Consider that Worcester: --is imbedded within the immensely wealthy Greater Boston metro (pop: 4.9M) --commands a mini-metro that itself is 860K...
