    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    Looking at the historical satellite imagery on Google Earth, it appears to date from 2001-2002.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    The glass on the sloped side needs some TLC.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    That’s Alexandria, LA. I took the hard way of spelunking Air Force bases that were closed in a BRAC to find the former England AFB, which is now Alexandria International Airport.

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    270 Sidney is getting the tent and vent treatment for demolition. Not sure what is going to be built here, but I’m guessing housing. NB: Cambridge uses OpenGov for online permitting, but they don’t make it searchable by address. It would be nice if they could get over themselves and enable that.

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    59 Bow St 84 Prospect. The Rust Palace is nearing completion. 188 Prospect 108 Prospect 121 Prospect is definitely the pick of the litter for the Prospect new builds. 84 Webster.

    I’m curious about the story behind this PoMo rehab in Union Square Somerville.

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Given twenty or so years, assuming they can keep the trees healthy, it will look a lot better.

    Tufts Residence Hall | 401 Boston Avenue | Medford

    Maybe those landlords will start itching for the Mystic Valley Parkway extension of the Green Line.</sarcasm>

    Red Line Extension to Arlington Heights

    Is the RLX getting to a length where an express track would be useful?

    This one currently looks like an over built erector set

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    Yeah. I sprang for first class, so I had lounge access. It’s a beautiful, but hostile, space for people that don’t have access to the lounge. However, the contrast to South Station is stunning. That waiting area is in serious need of a renovation.

    Between the new Avelia trains and the Moynihan train hall, my recent trip to NYC was down right civilized.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    The Amtrak lounge at South Station has a nice collection of old school photos of South Station.

    New England Electrical Grid

    Would building New England Clean Power Link help? It was one of the alternative proposals in the solicitation that yielded NECEC. I think it has all the required permits.

    I agree. Children’s does maintain tight security, so folks need a reason to be there. Most folks who have a reason aren’t going to stop to notice the architecture. 333 needs a bit of TLC. You can see the tarps collecting leaks on the upper left gallery. The clock wasn’t working either.
