Skate to where he puck is GOING TO BE, not to where it is now. That Mystic Waterfront is CHANGING on both sides.

My ol’ Elementary School 1970-1977 🥲. I’ll always have the memories of those now replaced halls and the disinfectant smell. Thank you and God bless you, Mr Tefft, Miss Doody, Mrs Spencer, Mrs Funk, Mrs Schnell, Mrs Carter, Mrs Finley and Mr. Carter 🤟

Reading that link, this looks to become very similar (without the rail component, of course) to Grandview Yard in Columbus, OH. My daughter just moved in there and it’s a wonderful section. The similarities are striking. https://www.grandviewyard.com/

It’s sad, because for about 20 years there, he did a lot of good and had a great legacy built up. He lost his way when his wife, Myra, died about 15 years ago She was his true compass. Ever since then, he’s drifted aimlessly like a confused dog off a leash. Most people do that in obscurity...

Well said - - but wasn’t the Whoop-tastrophe, on one of the most iconic and prominent corners in all of Boston, greenlit during the Walsh administration? No one is perfect. That being said, Shen is particularly awful at not giving a shit about urban aesthetics.

Absolutely - -the Harborwalk is incredible and I have friends who have never been to Boston do that even before the Freedom Trail. Re your point about Fort Point Channel - my ultimate hope is for that to be 100% “Harborwalked” - - making it contiguous from a start to finish - I think Gillette...

In addition the previous two post above, there is this from the Globe article: “….As for the drive-through Dunkin’ located at 75 Old Colony Ave. in the center of the site, the Extell, J.T. Magen and HYM team intends for it to “stay for as long as possible,” O’Brien said.” Jeezus we live in a...

The Urbanization “Delta” between the Seaport and North Point Cambridge is vast. The Seaport is such an urban winner, and keeps getting better.

Love it! Between this and the Dunstan East development, that's over 300 new units going up around and within easy walking distance of the West Newton Cinema, which is an art house cinema gem. Hopefully, the greater density helps support it.

I’m no expert on the matter, but from this distance I think Simmons should be fine - - historically have had a huge nursing and social work program and they are right there in Longwood, so from a professional point they are in a sweet spot. Plus they made a boatload of money selling their other...

Damn, you're out there early today - - thank you!!!!!! .

.....other than the building losing 14.2857% of it's floors?

In case anyone wants to see what it actually looks like: https://thevendry.com/venue/122089/benjamin-franklin-cummings-institute-of-technology-boston-ma/space/33045

.....and would use up alot more land. Six 26-story buildings would be more impactful too. Of course. .

Amen (y)

You seem to keep focusing on emotions about it ('hatred'???). That's deflection. Once again, it's a very dispassionate and cold reality question - - was the 3 years of being blocked off and $18.9 million in zero-sum city budget money WORTH IT for the delta/benefit of this iteration of the...

Define "often" compared to how "often" it was used BEFORE closing it for 3 years and $18.9 million in taxpayer spending? Would that be an INCREASE or a DECREASE? No hate, just dispassionate, fact-based reality. Was 1) three+ years lost usage and 2) $18.9 million spent worth THIS result? I'm...

An acquaintence of mine bumped into Nomar Garciaparra recently and asked what was his favorite team/place to play. He answered: "Boston is my favorite town, Chicago is my favorite CITY". Keep laying down sacrifice bunts, Greater Boston. .

Godspeed for this project - - 200 Green Line adjacent units of housing in Somerville. 🙏

Exactly. Those are not "spires". Those are short toothpicks.
