I believe that as part of the sale, Goodyear will be moving to 1330 Boylston St. Goodyear would only sell unless it could keep a presence in the area. The new shop will be significantly smaller than the current space. BTW, the developer also owns the parking garage behind Goodyear. I think...

That argument can be made both ways. If you don't like what Dude is saying, you can stop coming here. This whole discussion seems be turning into a "mature" vs. "immature" argument. A certain group of immature people are offending a certain group of mature people and those mature people...

I'm pretty sure those stairs would lead up to the Beacon St. overpass crossing the Pike.

They have another store on Province St., across from the 45 Province St. development.

You could have said the same thing about the edges of Lansdowne St. 10 years ago, but it's teeming with outdoor space now. You just can't expect it to happen overnight. Do you really think someone isn't going to find a way to put an outdoor cafe near the fountain pictured a few posts earlier?

Those solutions are more feasible, but still very costly. Between Gillette and it's surrounding residential neighborhood, the Post Office facility, the WTC, the Boston Fish Pier and all of the businesses down by Harpoon Brewery, they had to thread several needles just to put the road where it...

It cost $1 billion to build the tunnel sections under that tiny sliver of Fort Point Channel (0.1 miles) and you want them to build a tunnel the entire length of the channel instead? On top of that, you want to put 2 hairpin turns on a stretch of interstate highway....under water? Can I have...

Part of the spaghetti includes the I-90 extension. How would you divert the extension and still be able to connect the Mass Pike, an I-90/93 interchange and Logan Airport without leveling half of South Boston and Dorchester? The whole point was to minimize eminent domain.

The scale of this model seems totally out of proportion to the surrounding buildings. I drive past this lot every morning and I can't figure how a building of this size is going to fit. The lot isn't nearly as big as this model would indicate. The article says 10.3 acres. I have a hard time...

You do realize that the City/Convention Center Authority hopes to make money with this addition? They're not in this to make it easier/cheaper for people to drive into the city. Any increase in the supply of parking spaces they might create would only be a fraction of the spaces lost from the...

That would probably create an opportunity to extend Washington St. northbound, beyond State St. and through the center of City Hall Plaza. If Hanover St. was extended westbound to Cambridge St., the Washington St. extension would terminate at its intersection with Hanover. The reduced traffic...

If Bill Belichick and Tom Menino both have press conferences on the same day, do you think Ron Borges has to share his ax grinder with Steve Bailey, or does the Globe provide each of them with their own?

Not sure what you mean by "neighborhood taking action," but I think you're missing the big picture. The improvements to South Boston are because developers (small and large) took advantage of the area's relatively low property values and flipped the renovated/developed properties. The low...

Wallace can kiss my vote goodbye if he follows through with this. It's very possible he's just making some noise to placate his dwindling "Townie" base.

You wouldn't know it by reading this forum, but some people actually like malls. I don't see why an indoor mall can't be one component of a 24/7 neighborhood. I mean, senior citizens have to walk somewhere! Mall or no mall, setting the North End as the bar for any neighborhood is a waste of...

Unfortunately, compromises have to be made and the Seaport District has to have some kind of indoor, car-accessible retail. Otherwise, it will never be the kind of 24/7/365 destination everybody would like it to be. Nobody, Bostonians & Conventioneers alike, is going to want to go outside in...
