I hate when the state just sits on their fucking hands when some aspect of something is completely falling apart just because there is some fabled eventual complete reconstruction in the distant future. I’ve seen this so many times with sidewalks and bicycle paths. Like, they really can’t...

True, but this is not Forest Hills. In Boston, even a quarter mile can make a huge difference. In any case, looking more closely at the pictures, this thing rocks. The architectural nods to 19th century industrial brick, the columns, the cornice (I don’t know what it is called, it’s close to...

Hatoff’s is a historic example of early-mid twentieth century, auto-oriented aesthetic. It should be landmarked as well. Seriously, 19 Kenton is an attractive house. But whereas I used to be much more of a preservationist, I think we preserve way too much around here. Not everything that is...

Wow. I really hope they build this as is. It’s absolutely huge though, I’m sure everyone’s going to scream and make sure it gets chopped down.

The building that actually should be torn down is the fucking courthouse.

This is interesting and probably a crucial consideration for commuting on any route where variation is possible, even beyond transit, and into driving. I think you could probably further break down the “convenience“ variable into at least three sub variables of actual convenience (in terms of...

Well that sucks big time. This was the project with a proposed jazz club in it. I knew it was too good to be true for Rozzie

I’ve noticed that as well and been worried. Anthony, guy who owns Sq Root and is always there, would probably know the answer.

The city of Boston sold the parcel that the Hebrew rehab sits on back in the 1960s. In my opinion, that decision was a complete travesty. It could have been a continuous green linkage between the two, with Bussey Brook fully naturalized. I still think there’s a lot that could be done, like...

Maybe to slow speeds?

First, these people don’t represent the “community”. It was 100 people. Second, the whole idea of community process has gone so far to the extreme… maybe urban renewal in the 60s was too extreme, but at a certain point the govt needs to make changes for the greater good and recognize that...

Niceeee, I’m obsessed with this breed, they’re so fun

Progressivism in this country turned into elites making things difficult for citizens and small businesses while stacking the deck in favor of corporations decades ago. The problem is the rolling back of social democratic protections in the 70s and 80s, and no amount of regulations or...

I guess, but really, Im basing my snide remark on the fact that there are always cars parked here when I drive down Huntington. Hazard lights on, maybe, but that doesnt really matter. It is true that for loading and unloading, this is not great design, but there are plenty of places where you...

Of course there’s three parked cars in the bus lane

The economic future is highly uncertain. Mass may be one of the richest parts of the country, but we waste a lot of it as well, and the reversal of federal support is likely to get significantly worse deeper into this administration. Do we “need” this? Not really. It’s something very nice to...

But think of the children!

This is a great building. I’m glad they’re preserving it

So great—thanks for sharing these!!

If you click around on google, it’s literally on the border and the next address over is mattapan — by zip code at least. I actually was surprised and didn’t realize mattapan has this jagged point sticking into dorchester, since I think of that general area as being pretty solidly dorchester…...
