    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    It's taking forever with the Red, but I absolutely love how reliable the Orange Line is nowadays (take it daily). The Blue has been the most reliable and solid for years.

    Mixed Use (40B Fmr Star Market) | 299 Broadway | Winter Hill | Somerville

    walked by, but my pix were too dark/crappy to post.

    Motor Mart Tower | 201 Stuart Str. | Park Sq | Boston

    I agree with many of your points, but how would/could Somerville -- the densest city in New England -- densify more? I'm not saying Somerville got to be the way it is b/c of far-sighted, city-endorsed policies, but regardless: where else would you put people in a place that's already jam-packed?

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    w/o violating any laws of decency (or just laws), can you summarize the report for those of use w/o an NYT subscription?

    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    Pretty sure the wooden guardrail is temporary, during construction. Will be interesting to see how it all shapes up once this is done.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    "mid." you're a top-level troll. i've been all over asia, south america, north america, and europe and -- trust me -- if you qualify the public garden as "mid," you are a troll with some odd agenda. enjoy that. the public garden is global-level gorgeous, regardless of season. that said, i...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    That stretch of Dartmouth absolutely needs to go, Boston needs to get much better at "plaza" design overall, and this whole most-recent refresh is taking laughably overlong. That said, it's not as if Copley Square -- when it's fully open/operational -- is an embarrassing disaster. Certainly...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Fair point. I meant more that, via movies and coverage of sports etc., people - whether they "care" about skyscrapers or not - see things like the Pru and Fenway, both of which are fairly distinctive, whereas Paul Revere's house is... a small, black house and the Public Garden is a garden. I...

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    In terms of international recognition, I fully agree Fenway is there, but I promise you more people in Ireland and Spain (etc.) have an awareness of the Pru than they do Paul Revere's house or the Public Garden.

    133 Federal Street sold - Rudolph building (not that Rudolph)

    Living in the CBD is getting more and more appealing. Nowhere near a 24-hour city (yet), but there's a TON more going on past 5pm then there was just a decade ago.

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Awful pix - sorry; far away and just with my ancient-ass phone — but the big point is the new lighting highlighting the “swoop” is so cool!

    Midtown Hotel Redevelopment | 220 Huntington Avenue | Back Bay

    As previously stated, I like the building and very much like that there's a central location for visiting friends of mine that's actually affordable and keeps more than 6 people from trying to crash in my tiny somerville condo.
