    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Beautiful to see the core rise above the station! My parents live down on the South Shore and the only building that really sticks out from very far away is the Pru. I do see this building being the new "beacon" from the South Shore and the Expressway (and other places to the south such as South...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    This is a very open ended question - but does Boston stand a chance at getting Breeze routes to Breeze's hubs like how LA and SF have?

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    Can development pundits explain the process of 7-eleven being redeveloped? Is that plot owned by 7-11? A franchisee? Or is it rented to 7-11? Is something corporate like that easier to buy out of its spot vs. a small business? It would be great if that spot being a 7-11 meant it wouldn't be a...

    The New Retail Thread

    Widowmaker of Braintree is opening a Boston location soon ish in 2023 with a kitchen as well per this IG post below. They are keeping the location secret until they have their patio work done and a sign to go up. If anyone has an idea of where this is opening I'd love to know!

    This is outstanding. Now only if I had looked harder. Thanks for sharing!!

    Crazy Highway Pitches

    This might be a reasonable pitch - however I see little action behind it and maybe a little eminent domain land claiming. As a reverse commuter who is constantly plagued by the Mass Pike Newton Corner eastbound exit backup during afternoon rush, I have seen that this is a silly problem that...

    MBTA Construction Projects

    What headhouse needs to be rebuilt next? Personally, I do think some of the blue line stations need to be enclosed better. Those are very old anyway. Back Bay may be a bit worn down and ready for some rehab.

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    2/3 of the way up. I love this project for Maverick Square. Now if we could consistently build 6+ stories in the area

    Lego HQ Moving to Boston

    I wouldn't be surprised if they were tenants in a new building. This is a huge deal of a new office in Boston. Also, Reebok space is too far from public transit and not very close to anything imo. Seaport has more buildings to go up and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those was home to...

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    I live right near these spots and it's so refreshing that after some delay during covid, all of these projects got going so fast. There is another one in Maverick that has yet to be approved and lots more infill in Jeffries Point. Lots. Once more is built I hope some more community businesses...

    The New Retail Thread

    It's a great layout inside - had lots of lobby space and the theaters were nice inside. The amenities were already great, including heated reclining seats and nice bathrooms. It was a great deal for $5 Tuesdays and can only get better with Alamo 🙂

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    From my knowledge and opinion: 1) Very likely soon because it looks like there's a path and entrance there for it now. Seems like it would be necessary to spur traffic and handle it (esp during rush hour). 2) Should happen - because the entrance now is so poorly designed - to the point of it...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I tried researching this a little first but came up fruitless: how does the tracking for the OLX to Roslindale work when keeping the CR ? Is there a big enough RoW on the tracks as well as at the Roslindale station? I really think this extension should be fast tracked because it seems much...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    It would be great to see some processes moving along on Hyde Square and Fairmount - they are most feasible and Fairmount is badly needed.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Is there any hints on any traction for line extension proposals for the MBTA, and what's closest, aside from BL to Charles/MGH? It seems like the T, albeit a different animal, is much more ambiguous regarding its future extensions/projects then LA, NYC, Chicago, WMATA...

    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    J to B - electrify it to Lowell and eventually along the Wildcat to Haverhill then Portland for Downeaster service. Let's get this done first with electrification to Lowell to sweeten the pitch to extend to Nashua/MHT/Manchester as a 45 min ride to MHT from BON.
