Could the county jail be relocated?

Today in I’m Too Damn Old. There’s something funny about the Big Dig shiny and new getting posted in the Dirty Old Boston thread.

That has a very Dick Tracy backdrop look to it

59 Bow, like many of the SMT (nee Prominent) builds around Somerville, seems to have slowed to a crawl. Is something up with them?

24 Webster

Now it looks like the love child of a spite house and a luxury car dealership.

Anyone without a financial stake in this could have seen it coming a long way off. It should have been placed in Foxboro, where Wynn was first looking. Does the MGM in Springfield have family amenities for the non-gamblers?

It made an appearance in the opening credits of Banacek, as I recall.

They sheared off a large chunk of the roots to get the new foundation in. It’s no surprise it’s dying.

The obvious site would have been 585 Kendall, but Takeda has that now. Maybe replacing One Broadway some day.

Thinking on this a bit more, I feel like this building would have been more striking if it was half the depth. Split it down the middle between the silver and brown stripes. Keep the silver half. Discard the back half.

Actually, the datacenters in the aerials did it for me.

2161 Massachusetts Ave

Manassas Regional Airport. Sorry, Washington Manassas Airport. Running the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport playbook.

Prior to Flynn’s folly (aka the office on top of the GC garage) what did the top of the garage look like? Was it the bare concrete beams seen in that photo?

Intresting. I think that’s the first shot I have seen of the Government Center garage under construction. Also, I hate what the artery and the urban renewal did to the city.

If the race was between Markey and someone younger with a similar policy profile, I think the generational change argument would play better. I also think it would be a closer race.

Maybe someone in the state government is regretting the past decision to annex the former towns to neighboring towns, instead of creating a single municipality for the reservoir and watershed.

Probably for similar reasons to why a slice of Somerville residents were livid about the city planning to close the Brown School and moving it to the new Winter Hill campus: they see anything east of Central Street as a different city.

That’s the one. The renders didn’t make it clear that the cladding is masonry.
