I have not. I used those particular places as loose examples of destinations. I figured besides residents using it to get to work or shop, tourists may use it to take in the whole experience of the Mass. Bay area via boat transportation. There certainly are many more places to visit...

I was talking to a developer friend who owns tons of property in Lynn and you pretty much quoted him. We're talking Chelsea levels of corruption. He had to grease one hand with 35k to get something done. With the development of so much waterfront land, the casino and so many destination...

I've been in Lynn alot recently and I'm amazed at the amount of undeveloped and underdeveloped land in the city and Especially alone their waterfront. Their rather large downtown has good bones. Some reuse coupled with new construction would be transformative. Access is a problem of course...

Good gravy... So when crossing the channel the tourists only look toward the museum side??? Do you think some may look may look toward the post office and gillette and think "what a lost opportunity" or"this could be so nice if....." I'm sure there's been 1 or 2 tourists that have ventured...

State services building. City hall plaza. Still lacking Sullivan Square. Fort point channel. Both sides. It could be an incredible area. Washington street bridge.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett May be just talk but a friend who works in the area said he heard Wynn bought the Gateway property and intends to build a golf course. I'm not sure how considering the land is heavily polluted. It coukd be just talk... Anyone here who could verify?

I'd already fixed that. Thx The article isn't the topic of the thread. My intent is to create a thread about nimbys and such. This can be the spot to post, view and talk about topics, articles, issues regarding nimbys. Thx though

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) Bye

I wish they'd find another spot for it. Perhaps closer to the garden would work. I'm thinking the skateboarders will tear it up anyway.

In the early 1900's Chelsea was a place to go and a preferable neighborhood. I grew in East Boston and still love the area. Its Home. I hear ya Beton Brut!! Its not even close to what people make/belie it to be. Its lack of connection, lack of investment of mid to higher income housing...

this popped up on my FB feed. figured some of you may be interested. http://fab.com/sale/17465/

maybe he's just angry at his own stump?

bblancha?

I live around the corner from the mall and I've heard a few stories too. I've heard Walmart would take the site and build a "super" Walmart. I've also heard the site would be redeveloped similar to Station Landing. I've heard Market basket was going to move into the Shaws building. Theres...

I think even a kelly's, reginas pizza or santarpios would have better than some national chain. I guess they're looking for something with a somewhat more diverse menu. Oh well.....

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place ugly reminds me of the siding on the triple deckers in east boston and revere. just need some wrought iron fencing and a virgin mary statue in front of it.

Re: NorthPoint Cambridge (The one that was train yards, the big plan.) Its pretentious office park. They should get rid of the white bands and make it all glass and use a different color glass for the ass crack. Still not great but definitely much better. A relatively simple change would...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Looks like the area is coming along fast and furious. I'd suggest a facelift for the Commonwealth Pier World Trade Center though. It still looks like a warehouse. Its due.
