So my wife turned 60. We took several months off to sail around the world during which she decided it was time to quit practicing law. She retired and now is an amateur beekeeper. Did I mention she is allergic to bees? There are also now jars of raw honey all over my kitchen attracting...

I thought this was an architecture forum where members liked playing God and not a maritime forum?

So wide open suburban parks = bad, but maintaining a giant basin of water IN A PORT CITY WITH A GIANT HARBOR AND PLEASURE BAY =good?

Nothing that can't be fixed with a marina.

I still think a bridge to Ames Street in Cambridge would help reduce traffic volume across all of the other bridges and calm Mass Ave by more evenly dispersing traffic. The creation and parcel sale of a new landmass in the middle of the Charles would more than pay for the bridge, buying Storrow...

No Ron Newman?

If you think dangerous back breaking monotonous work in a factory is better than automation, you haven't shoveled enough coal in your life to know better.
