Fenway is old enough that the neighborhood grew around (and because of!) it (see MapJunction). You can't compare that to trying to build a stadium with twice the capacity in an already densely populated area. I'm sure someone will "well actually..." with this, but I struggle to think of an NFL...

I never would have guessed you could get a photo of this building and the Fore River Bridge in a single photo. Cool angle!

https://engagement.jmgoldson.com/andrewsquare/andrew-square-concept-designs/ for an overview of all the designs. I like the roundabout, but I would make Southampton St. one lane only eastbound from the 93 ramps into the Square. Traffic can wait for buses to turn left into the station.

The improvement in traffic on this section of 146 cannot be overstated. Makes the Worcester-Providence drive much easier. The Sutton light is a shame but it never backs up the way this used to. I think Woonsocket and 146A being just north of this ultimately caused most of the headaches. Not a...

No photo, sadly, but when I was in Southie on Sunday the old building had already come down. They're working quick on this one.

I was about to post that most of those doors along Hampshire - the fire pump room, electrical room, transformer room, etc. - don't need access from the street, especially where they have a garage/loading dock to get to them from. But I think that ultimately shows where the incentives for this...

So the Bills' new stadium in metro Buffalo finally opened, and the reviews are not good. $2.2 Billion, and yet still has obstructed views: https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2026/08/09/buffalo-bills-new-highmark-stadium-notice-obstructed-view-issue/91234938007/ A lot of Bills jokes...

I'll guess Back Bay and Charles MGH.

I wanted to pull stick n move's post about "garbage suburban office space" over here to this thread, because I have a confession to make: I love the '80s/'90s light PoMo office park aesthetic. Absolutely adore it. When I was growing up, these were the places I kind of aspired to work in...

Decades ago, my dad went to the old appliance store in Perkins Square looking for a part only to be politely informed that the store was a front. Same vibes here. (Although I don't think the TVs are necessarily a sign of that - most hotel chains now have a "Welcome Guest" slideshow running when...

Gillette Stadium is back to FieldTurf, which means the monster trucks could finally invade last night. Thursday night shows are very uncommon, but BTS is playing the stadium next week and they requested a few extra days to setup. Didn't seem to hurt the attendance at all! It's weird to me how...

That's ok, we don't need a connection to Summer St. there anyway. That one is scary in how perilously close it gets while still getting obvious stuff wrong - the Encore over in Cambridge, that weirdly canted building just behind 100 Federal, etc. There's a particularly bad AI Boston skyline...

Don't know if this is the right part of the forum for this but figured folks would like shots of the Dino Trolley ride the family and I took yesterday. Very low key but good fun, our baby girl enjoyed it. Not the biggest museum in the world but what was there was cool, and there's a small fire...

Wife had an appointment in town this morning so we headed over to Fanueil Hall for the Malibu Barbie Cafe. Which, frankly, was disappointing - she had a headache, and it was too crowded and noisy and we had to leave before even ordering. Which wouldn't have been a big deal except that you had to...

I feel like people generally "Keep off the grass" as a default now, and only venture on to it either in scenarios where it's known that you're OK to be on the grass, or where there is some activity or thing that prompts you to go on it. The design here, with so much more hardscape, definitely...

I think it's relevant to post the 2025-2026 attendance stats: These are, by and large, just above AHL numbers. Which is fine, and I think a reasonable expectation for the league at this point. Both Montreal and Toronto's arenas' primary tenants are the AHL. I think it's better both for...

I was involved with trying to move a VA clinic up to the 16th floor of the McCormack (replacing the 250 Causeway clinic - gov't leasing rules require the GSA to offer space first), and it was ultimately scrapped later on after the renovation costs for healthcare were found to be too high...

You don't. I think they're waiting to see if it stabilizes and then try to come up with a demo plan. The video from inside is pretty shocking, those guys should have spent more time getting out of there and less time getting photos. Lucky this hasn't yet turned into a Hard Rock New Orleans...

Well, this is not great! https://www.nbcnewyork.com/manhattan/fdny-responds-to-report-of-buckling-building-in-manhattan/6522605/

Fast cars go vroom... Local homies Turner Motorsport, they used to be based in Amesbury but are now just over the border in Newton, NH:
