Was just there. Anything can be improved, but I really love the new SS.

The black band on the 58th floor (the tuned mass dampers floor) has been looking awfully shabby for a while now. Hopefully management/owners enact a refresh sooner than later.

You can add light rail pretty much anywhere (not that it's great. I'm a Green Line rider...), so... why isn't it possible? Not being a dick -- I likely am missing some fundamental knowledge here.

neat!

Excellent improvement/addition!

Aside from stitching together the city by decking over that scar of a superhighway, it'd be nice to reclaim some land for the smallest Chinatown in any major U.S. city. The neighborhood punches well above its weight -- look on YouTube or do a search and there are plenty of folks (non locals) who...

Ah - Didn't realize that. Thanks!

Well, even w/o going into air rights stuff, this surface lot (and remaining ones in the downtown core) should be transformed into something -- anything -- else (other than lab space) immediately. Such a gratuitous misuse of badly needed real estate (obviously this could/should be housing). If...

my bad!

Not sure if this is the right place for this.

That's the scoop, yeah. That said, having never been there before, I just asked if I could check out the lounge -- I wasn't traveling at all that day -- and the person minding the entry was cool about it. Never hurts to ask. I've since been "legitimately" a few times when traveling Acela first...

to your sharp left as you face the tracks from the headhouse, between the ticket office and information booth. "amtrak metropolitan lounge."

I think the larger point is that the platform is one thing and the station/headhouse is another. There have been innumerable posts here with unanimous consensus that, at the very least, the station should be cleaned (the ceiling... woof). It's a beautiful building and hasn't been well-maintained...

totally does

Except Coca-Cola is an American icon in America's biggest city. CITGO is largely unknown to most Americans (other than those who associate it with the Sox) and it's not an American company. I hear (read) what you're saying, though.
