Bombing in Nashville this morning. An RV set up with explosive was broadcasting a recorded message telling residents to evacuate the area and that a bomb would detonate within 15 minutes. The explosion occurred right outside an AT&T transmission building. Given that whoever committed the act had...

A cool little interactive map on the New York City Subway that I thought some of you might enjoy. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/02/nyregion/nyc-subway-map.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&fbclid=IwAR06b3Dl6MYklOL113dkCahrbfE-1H5-mYhfngEUdTd_9njV1wliGQ3joeQ

Thought this was a fun exercise to do and one that you guys might enjoy taking a look at...

So I've always planned to move out of Boston to somewhere new (target city includes Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago). Anyways, I don't plan on moving anywhere any time soon yet, at least not for a year and half or so, but I do want to start planning for a move, namely searching for a job and...

Title is slightly misleading. The group is suing because the material they are using is not historically appropriate. What do you guys think? http://blog.masslive.com/mass_river_boston_news/print.html?entry=/2014/08/group_sues_to_stop_installatio.html Full story is on bostonglobe.com but I...

Hello ArchBoston Members, This Sunday, May 4th, I will be participating in the annual Walk For Hunger sponsored by Project Bread to help raise awareness on Boston’s ongoing hunger issue. This will be my 8th year participating in this incredible event and it’s something I look forward to every...

Hi everyone, So I'm planning to go apartment hunting soon and it would basically be the first time doing it without the help of Northeastern's off-campus housing database. Essentially what I'm saying is, I'm a total noob at this. If there are any advice that any of you can offer regarding where...

While riding the Red Line going into Downtown, there's a group college students talking about how there are too many Asians in Boston and that they should go back to where they came from, all the while, pretending not to notice my group of friends standing just a few feet away. What I took from...

I remember seeing renderings of a recladded Prudential Tower or a redesigned JHT and thought that such plans will never happen. Then I came about Tour First in Paris, which 522ft tower turned 758ft. Are there any other towers that underwent these types of transformation. (I think there is a...

So I'm heading to Chicago on the second weekend of August for 4 days (really only 3 full days) from Thursday to Sunday. It will be my first time there and I was wondering if there are any must-see point of interests (preferably within city limits as I will not be renting a car). I'll be staying...

As you all have heard, Franco Garcia has been missing since the end of February. News today has confirmed that the body found in the Reservoir, Wednesday morning is indeed Franco Garcia. Here's the link to article...

This is what is causing the suburbanization of our city. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2011/01/30/green_building/?page=1 After reading this article, I wonder exactly how much joint these landscape urbanists smoked because there are so many flaws in their arguments. Some I...

So apparently this Thursday I believe, a group of BRA officials will be coming to my Urban Economics class for some Q&A. I'm preparing to grill them for all they're worth. The topic focuses on the waterfront, but I'm going to take the opportunity to ask other questions about the city such as...

San Francisco proved that it is possible for a small city to do so. So why can't Boston?

Let's have a thread for photos of other cities. Yay. NYC: Montreal: Providence: San Juan:

I call for a ban of APoM. While he may take decent pictures, his treatments towards other forum member is immature and egregious. This guy makes DudeUrSistersHot look like a saint and he was banned for insulting other forum members. Ban this guy. We don't need an asshole.

I took advantage of Boston's recent nice weather to take a few photos of the NU Campus, which IMO has one of the best campus in the Boston area. Forgive my poor photographing skills in a few of them.

I couldn't find a thread that related to the Zakim Bridge so I decided to make a new one. Van, you can move this to anywhere you want. I find this amusing seeing how the lights barely shine brightly anymore. There's probably no difference to how it looks like now and when it will be turned...

When you pick up the newspaper, one of the first things you see on the front pages is the economy. While the economy is certainly big enough of a news to be on the front page, the way it portrayed is not. Now before you label me as a Communist or anything like that, hear me through first...
