Is anybody going to any Open House New York events this weekend: www.ohny.org? I've been meaning to ask if any of the archBostonians living in NYC would like to get together, and this seems like the perfect occasion. Send me a pm if you're interested. justin

Just curious: since I can't think of a single of our regulars who I know is a woman, I'm putting up a poll to see what our gender breakdown is. If the forum is as male-dominated as I think it is, I'd be interested to figure out why, given that the subject seems gender-neutral. justin

Go to Library of Congress and search for 'Boston Elevated Railway'. It's the most thorough sequential tour I've seen. Funny how, when the South End was well-served by the T, there wasn't much to serve. The removal of the El was a necessary precursor for the densification and gentrification of...

I posted this one on the Photo of the day thread, but Boston's most photogenic building deserves its own. I have a handful of old ones to throw out; everybody else is invited to contribute. justin

T press release: What does this tell us about SST construction? justin

I found these cool axonometric drawings of the main downtown T stops (excluding, oddly, GC): http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/pdf/using_t/station_illustrations.pdf It's a part of a useful, if longish, users' guide: http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/gettingaroundguide06.asp which lists GC as...
