Some drone footage of USQ development, park remediation, Cambria Hotel, etc.

I've essentially worked from home much of my life, married with 3 girls (now grown). You're right, I didn't take any jobs where many hours were consumed with commuting and all the wasted office time that goes with it. That said, I don't believe most people prefer that lifestyle.

Maybe I'm seeing it wrong, but even the way the work trailers are configured shows some serious professionalism. Every time I visit everything looks so well organized. I never see any trash or piles of stuff in some construction purgatory. The park is amazing when it doesn't even have to be...

At the last minute, I was able to attend a CX event. Apologies for the noisy audio but hopefully you'll find what he said interesting!

Interesting! Hadn't thought about it the way you do. I agree, there is something "heavy" about the way the building sit on the land. If they were taller, wouldn't they cast longer shadows into Cambridge? As I mentioned, coming over the Gilmore Bridge the buildings certainly look obnoxious...

My first visit to the area was with my camera to document my disgust at the project, of which I knew nothing about, except what I saw driving over the Gilmore Bridge. After walking around, doing some research, looking at it in a global context, talking to young professionals I decided my first...

A drone update on the Cambridge Crossing development.

Thanks for all the great information! I look forward to checking it out. I'm going to rename to "A.I. Triangle." I know people who do exactly that for Amazon in the area. I knew I was forcing "logistics" in there but couldn't think of another name (I wrote the article while a bit ... um ...

Thanks! Fixed (I hope)!

I'm trying to make sense of all the development I see. When I was spending time looking at Cambridge Crossing I kept thinking, because of the shape of the land, that it should be called "Cambridge Triangle" Comments, ideas, would be greatly appreciated! Be forewarned, any great insight you...

What exactly are you so angry about? Do you realize that when you write " Filipina queer woman or any other marginalized person " you are defining the Filipina women mentioned above as "marginalized". Is that fair to them, to speak for them? How do you know they feel marginalized? Perhaps...

I didn't have much time, but wanted to see how the Conway Field remediation is going and, of course, the hotel! Taken June 18th, 2021

I just went to my studio at 438R Somerville and learned that someone put up a CL post saying all the Somernova planters in the alley were free, come and get them. Very, very, very sad. I ran into the guy who has the studio next to me. He says they were just about to have a meeting with...

I'm pretty sure anything I say is going to anger you even more. I'm 59. I went to public schools in NYC. Blacks are 14% of the population. Whites are the larger population. Dominant? In a sense, how could they not be? However, this plays out with many races in many nations. Anyway, I was...

Yes, I know Somervnova is trying! And I don't believe they did it on purpose. I'm just pointing out there isn't as much community as their should be, enough neighborly communication. I didn't know about Bow Street. As for the Cambria. Who is this "enough people"? Whose money are they...

Recently, Somernova, which owns the Artisan's Asylum building, closed off the alley and had an event. I'm a member of the Cambridge Hackspace which is across the way. We weren't invited to this event. (I heard they blocked off our parking too) A few years ago, we weren't invited to the...

That's what I've been wondering. The unfinished building has been exposed to the elements for quite a while now. This is a closeup (from a few years ago) of the construction of the 1868 Mass Ave Porter Square hotel. So not expecting that building to weather well in the decades ahead either...

When I was younger, you either had someone or you didn't. No one wanted to be alone. It was a trope until recently, dying alone. Are internet social networks enough to replace physical relationships, or the need for one? I remember staying up to midnight as young teenages to watch the PBS...

Drone video of 371 Beacon Hotel.

Thanks, much more fun to do these when someone is interested!!!
