I went looking for Labelscar earlier since it had good photos of Greendale too, but I didn't realize it had finally disappeared. Maybe the Internet Archive still has it.

That view of CambridgeSide from across the canal is peak. It's a shame they've futzed with it the last few years, it's still mostly there but with the lack of all that lighting, the trees on the roof, and the larger surrounding buildings it simply doesn't present the way it used to. It had a...

A look at that meeting:

That's a really interesting setup, since both arenas are visually identical except for the sizing. In that scenario, the basketball side can be converted to multiple courts, which means it would have uses outside of game days that would prohibit them from just doing the Bull Gang changeover from...

Milwaukee comes to mind - the current Bucks arena is just a parking lot away from the old Bucks arena, which is now used for college games: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DeL2ULoYyLU3RcTdA The metro areas which have both NHL and NBA teams but they don't share an arena are relatively few, and to some...

I wonder if this would still be the case if the DCU Center didn't exist.

No exterior signage, but Lego has photos of the interior, and it is quite lovely: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2025/may/the-lego-group-officially-opens-new-world-class-boston-hub

Well, since you asked... It's pretty obvious already, but racing is my first love. I'm named after NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough, so it was inevitable, although I've drifted away from modern NASCAR to IndyCar and IMSA over the last couple of decades. I finally got a nice-ish camera a couple of...

They're going to pave the pathways of the Fens. In many ways, it's well past due, but as the article says the existing gravel paths were so packed down they were almost as impermeable as asphalt. Which makes me wonder - why not just use some permeable pavement system instead of going whole hog...

From my wife, who went up Mt. Wachusett today.

As usual, the Lime Rock Park Historic Festival proves to be an amazing car show beyond the on-track stuff. The Chiron looked pedestrian only because of what was a couple of slots down, a Pagani Huayra in full blue-tinted carbon glory. The Chiron is impressive engineering, the Huayra is art.

How's the Saddledome replacement coming?

My wife and I are spending quite a bit of time at Beth Israel's Shapiro Center in advance of our new baby coming in October. Today, for the first time, I actually looked around the lobby, and was blown away. Everyone knows how wild the outside looks, but inside is perfection. I wanted to take a...

That photo makes me wonder what the T's Lock Out/Tag Out procedures are for the third rail system.

I like the cod one. I feel like a bunch of the others are trying too hard. Sad that the Pac Man looking one from the initial submissions (slide 25) didn't make it, I thought it was symbolic in a neat way that wasn't beating you over the head with it.

It's driving my brain nuts they don't have that diagonal pattern reversing into a chevron shape.

Am I weird that what I immediately think of when looking at those photos (other than Pauly Shore) is the interior of the Crystal Cathedral from those Sunday morning religious shows that I'd stumble on flipping through the channels? The Cathedral predates it by over a decade, and while I know the...

Visited another library book sale today and came home with this gem from 1987. Was about to pass on it but saw the Museum of Science pic at the end and then had to have it. There's a whole bunch of Harvard aerials in this one, for whatever reason, but it's the mid-80s era Boston that I find so...
