ORH** 😇

YIKES.. I'm perplexed by the mediocre performance of the CRRC manufacturing ops in Springfield. Can someone shed a light as to the root cause of the continued dismal performance in this plant when their Chinese manufacturing ops seem to hum along like a finely tuned (Insert your favorite musical...

This brings me back to my undergrad days as well. One of my main academic engineering project papers focused on the design of different offshore turbine supports, and the associated scale model construction and testing at a hydraulic lab to test the impacts of various fluid dynamic forces. To...

A few slightly older color corrected pictures

Boston skyline behind the morning Logan rush hour traffic. Apologies for the image quality: 1. Always chuckle when I see that seaport district buzz cut 2. Once the SS tower is completed, it'll really add a nice additional focal point to the downtown skyline, especially when viewed from...

Had a quick trip to Boston, and captured this one on my way out today morning. Could have captured more, but the sweet embrace of sleep was too much to overcome:

I was pleasantly surprised at how busy and vibrant most of the seaport was -- the restaurants and retail areas were packed, and the holiday market area was particularly hopping. However, this vibrancy died down at around 10pm. Given this area has added a relatively large residential component...

Should have gone a bit taller here, but que sera sera 🤷‍♂️

The Westin in the seaport district has some fantastic sightlines of the skyline:

Causeway Street during game night really is something else. The new development really ties this area together:

Can't wait for this building to be completed. As others have stated, this would nicely fill a very noticeable hole in this area: It's hard to tell, but the last 2 pictures capture installation of window panes on the western side of the building.

But wait, there's more....

Before I moved out of Boston, this area was more or less vast expanses of parking lots in the early stages of the transformation of the seaport district. Every time I come back to this hood, it always blows me away how much things have changing, by and large for the BETTER. The work the posters...

They could do soooo much better with this space. Maybe it felt bleak, impersonal and desolate because it was empty during the time, but I'm curious to hear how how the plaza feels when it's packed with people?

A week old. Comparing to the more recent pictures, looks like the window pane installations are really flying: EDIT - Forgot about a couple of cool night time shots, with the tower lit up with construction lights. Really shows what more lighting can do to Boston's skyline:

Driving to the Bean during Thanksgiving.. Apologies in advance for the delay in posting these, and yes, these were taken by a passenger. Special shoutout to the sun for illuminating these buildings just right 😄:

Not sure where to post this, but here are some pics of the Worcester common/city square area of the city during Thanksgiving. The area was a little dead but has come a longgggg way since my WPI days. As @New England Born & Raised called out, utility/function over beauty was definitely at play...

Been a while since I posted on this site.. this is the title card from the new Frasier series reboot:

Peekaboo...
