Wow - that last pic says its moving to 28 Langley Road in Newton - - if I'm not mistaken, that's on the other side of Piccadilly Square in the former CVS next to Johnny's Luncheonette! Easy access to folks using the Green Line. Also may say alot about demographic shifts...

Those are prize-worthy pics!!!! What I love about them is that they capture long-distance, yet don't make the buildings in the distance look fuzzy, shorter and fattter - - they capture the ACTUAL proportions of the skyline. No distortions. Magnificent (y)

Hatred for the museum???? It's the unfortunate ARCHITECTURE and placement that are the problem, not the MUSEUM itself.. See the pic in post #95. -There is one small entranceway at the corner vertex. The rest is a continued fortress wall with no windows. Above the ground level - - no...

I love it too. But there are surprisingly several other really great urbanizing projects under or just about to come online - - - this Met Warehouse is one (with the tremendous PUBLIC benefits of the transparent window sections and the open ivite to the public to access the academic corridors)...

Yes, but at least it provides window transparency and is nicely interspersed within the architecture of a much larger building........as opposed to the stand-alone, almost windowless fortress abominable snowman white cube Holocaust Museum going across from Boston Common/Park Street - -...

Wonderful! My favorite part in that: ".....The Met’s prominent location at the heart of the expanding university campus allows for a symbolic extension of MIT’s Infinite Corridor from east to west, engaging the city and inviting the community to pass through the building...." THIS...

Absolutely. And that family is also free to experience the financial loss in market value on that house (or, really, their children will absorb the loss in market value) in not taking the original deal from the YMCA, before it envelopes that home in a much larger and busier surrounding. But...

I’m sure you’re technically correct (y)

As a native Newtonian with lots of Brooklinite family, I’d venture to say neither consider that spot anything other than Chestnut Hill.

Another high quality contribution from you. Drink!

Honestly, I just googled "why do people hate dunkin donuts". Man, people really HATE it too. You can do that for every single business. I appreciate your post and there are a lot of good points in it. That being said, Ahhh yes, the threat to independent coffee shops.........Question: over...

I'm excited for the neighborhood there. It will allow folks to congregate and socialize in that type of setting without having to go down (not that far, of course) to Huntington or cross the street to the Pru. Plus, empty storefronts are just depressing.

He won't give you a reason. He just posts the same way each time.

"Discussing"????? Plenty of room for DISCUSSING poor architecture! Everyone, including me, does it all the time. The difference, though, is the rest of us respect the other members intelligence here and GIVE REASONS, instead of just farting out "It sucks" or "It's ugly" like you. In fact...

Nothing on the internet yet, but my son lives on West Newton Street and he just told me that 250 West Newton (which has been vacant for years) is now sporting "Coming Soon" signs in the windows of a new Blank Street Coffee! Always great to see empty storefronts re-animate and bring more life to...

This is one of the nicest architectural additions to the city. Is it even OPEN yet????? What about that great park and pedestrian bridge???? The lack of info on this is sad. It doesn't sound like it has many tenants yet.

Bingo. This seems like it. The developer probably wants a 10 story and knew the populace would have a fit over THAT in Davis. This has "opening gambit" written all over it. The only misstep is that he went way overboard and didn't even make it look somewhat serious. It's like handing in...

That's a very tasteful and well-synched up addition .......aside from the assinine cheap looking white frosting crown. Wipe that shit off (or change the color, texture or look of that crown) and you have a great project. .
