I have been an employee of Ramrod/machine for 9 1/2 years. A decline in discrimiation against gays has hurt all gay clubs. A decline in dance music, with ProTools and Dance Pad readily available to all and perhaps most decisively the antagonisn towards masculine gay men are important cultural...

Does anyone know how much Scape paid for 1252-1268 Boylston St?

Has there been any demolition date set?

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) The YMCA is a MA Historical Commission site. The BRA was able to circumvent the MA Historical Commission when Northeaster paid a $600K settelement to the ill-chosen plaintiffs for savethebostony.com's suit against the BRA and...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Indeed, most of the folks of savethebostony.com that I know are no longer members of the Y. The youth truly hurt by what will be a diminshed facility have very few options. Article 80 will be a footnote in any development scheme...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Yep, they took the money.

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) What do you wonder?

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Do you think that a for-profit business would be able to erect a 198" building in on a site zoned for 98"? Really? "Sympathy"? It is NU/Phoenix Lincoln that has made sure that Patty Donavon of Phoenix/Lincoln wears a lambda so...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Yes, the parties who settled took the money and ran. Phoenix/Lincoln would not have gotten the financing necessary without the suits being settled. The essence of the suits was that the 198" "dorm" is a zoning violation in an...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) At the MA historical Commission hearing at the MA Archives Bernard Horn of savethebostony.com introduced the BARRON'S credit ratings for NU. Yes, they declined in 2008 but had recovered by 2010. NU's argument is something like...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) Yes, the programs will continue but without recreational facilities they are already declining in attendance. To be fair it will remain to be seen as to whether the trend of this summer will continue with the beginning of the...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) I attended 3 of those meetings. I think that we might have met. The BRA and the BZC are one and the same body. Amendments to IMPs are made by the BRA upon their judgement. Residing in the East Fens for 34 years I am well aware...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) The Teen Center and City on a Hill serve youth. They attract teens through access to the fitness facilities. Yes, this is a loss. During my conversations with Rep. Gloria Fox she bemoaned the loss of facilities that enabled her...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) The Y weight room prior to separation was busy after 8 PM on weekdays. In the weeks before the separation it went down as members left. During 2011 activity in the Weight Room increased as the Y discounted rates. Most of the Y...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) I did not write that NU hates black folks. NU is committed to diversity. "Diverstiy" meaning that a representation of "groups" is part of marketing. I work in the hospitality industry and we have X amount of Asians, Blacks...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) NU certainly has the right to buy property. They also have the "right" not to pay taxes. As a tax exempt institution they are obligated by the city of Boston to file IMPs that detail their plans. NU did not do this with the Y...

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) I lived at 4 Symphony Rd. in 1978 for $25 a week in a rooming house. No, the Fenway is not a ghetto. I am in favor of NU building on the property it owns.

Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph) I lived at 24 Haviland St. for more than 19 years and maids were regularly seen after 1999. Following the purchase of the building by Boston Union from Sean Casey Realty trust in 2009 professional cleaning at regular intervals and...
