Went back through the Everpresent drive and pulled out some more things. Random, but I figured people would be interested. First, M St. Park probably mid- to late-'90s. Baby me on the old letter animals at the Castle Island playground. These were Not Safe (my sister put her teeth through her...

Not the only church in Boston that was denied spires! Gate of Heaven, in Southie, was originally designed with large spires that were ultimately never built...

So here's a new one from UHub: MIT originally planned to stay in Boston by purchasing the Allston Golf Club, which was situated just to the west of Nickerson Field and right by the train yard. An alumnus who lived in the area wrote to the school to reconsider as he was so fed up with the noise...

Impeccable vibes with that one! I wish I knew how (and had time) to edit videos to do a Postmodern slideshow set to vaporwave. Would be A E S T H E T I C.

I drive by this area relatively often and it's a perfect spot for a development like this, a Stop & Shop is right next door and there's good access to various other things.

I might have to find one of those lamps now. How I'll justify it to my wife I don't know, but I'll have to look.

I've mentioned the book "Boston: Beacon for a New Horizon" on here before, but I went through it again and pulled out some more images of some neat PoMo stuff. The entire book is a window into 1994 and a Boston that doesn't quite exist anymore. Most of the companies who are featured in it as...

I won't spoil it. but I thought I knew the location immediately. I was wrong - it's about a neighborhood over from there. There's a clue in the image that gives you a good lead. One of those streets you'd never go down unless you had a good reason.

Trabant!

Disney really is one of the last great bastions of postmodernism. The Casting Center by Disney Springs (https://maps.app.goo.gl/JyiAGsnfvQErGGwo6) was one of my favorite buildings to see when we were down there a couple of years ago. Also, the incredible Deborah Sussman designed street signage...

I don't think adding exits to the Pike is going to change the fundamental reality of Route 9 as a secondary east-west artery. It would just add additional choke points to 90, which is going to drive more people to bail on it and take 9 instead. The focus should be on relieving some of the...

I wish we could get more of a look into that mechanical penthouse. That one duct elbow is massive.

Just sucks for CT, who is going to lose their only top-level pro sports team, again. (Plays mournful version of Brass Bonanza)

I feel like some of the growth projections here are pretty optimistic, but regardless... I think the NWSL and the Legacy's owners are wise to not make the same mistake another sport made around 20 years ago. NASCAR demand was so high that track owners went on a building spree to the point that...

The Bruins and Celtics have shared a venue full-time for 70 years now, part of the culture of Boston is going to Causeway to watch both. From that standpoint, it would be a tremendous shame for the Celtics to move out to their own place, and I think the Garden would be lesser for it (I wonder...

It was always an event to go to CambridgeSide as a kid. It was usually the last stop after a trip to the Museum of Science so we could get something at the food court. Also multiple trips to the Sports Museum. I still love the view of the place from across Canal Park, the building looks like a...

Looks like May 1988. Funny you should mention that about the Artery, my primary memory of the building is riding past in the back seat of my parent's car on the highway with the giant flag blowing in the arch. An elevated view that part of me is sad you can't get anymore, even if the city is...

I was driving myself nuts trying to figure out where this was, since it looked oddly familiar and had plausible locations in multiple spots in the metro area. Enough Google Map sleuthing led me to realize I had never actually been there - it's University Park Commons in Cambridge. I almost...
