This project will not affect the tankers going to the Distrigas terminal. It is for Algonquin Gas, according to materials at the web site.

The economics of Boston Parking? If you don't feed the meter you get a ticket that is greater than the cost of feeding the meter all day, yet less than paying for a lot. Assuming you came in late and didn't get the early bird deal someplace. Tying the T into this is understandable, but another...

This was a bone trown in as a concession to the surface traffic suffered by Medford and Somerville during the Dig. The people I know in Somerville are very excited about the prospect. I lived there and can't recall a dissenter. This guy in Medford has an opinion. He is entitled to it. It...

http://www.northeastgatewayconstruction.com/index.htm This is a fairly substantial infrastructure project. It is installing a submersible port for the offloading of LNG tankers off the coast, and ties directly into the pipeline laid in 2003. It will not stop boats from going to Everett...

I don't know about Atlanta and NYC, as I see some posters are from. But properties in Boston have been reassessed and reassessed time and time again. The Taxes have been raised accordingly. Where has that money gone? If I got the raise the City of Boston has with the ludicrous Real Estate...

If parking for a game just go to Brookline where they are free after 6 and take the train 2 stops. Why charge the residents more? They are the most affected by the impact of games at fenway, they hardly deserve to go out of pocket more. It's your night out. Pay the $20, or do as I mentioned...

Just when, I wonder, did the state decide they were a for profit entity? This is crazy. That a price gouging structure would be implemented for the use of a public thoroughfare is insane. There is not even any process in place, that I know of, which would legally keep these collected funds...

That garage also serves those who do happen to live in Beacon Hill, and other neighborhoods, as well as visitors to the area. Going in town for Dinner and a show, then maybe having something after is an inconvenience for some, when the constraints of the T come into play. I am for public...

I would not hold my breath on any radical re-design there. The new bar BeeHive will be ready shortly, I do not know that they plan on going to the plaza as Hamersley's does. Though I would not be surprised. That the area around the Pine tree looked barren in January does not surprise me. I...

If he were to put it in the boonies, he would put it in Readville. Can anyone tell me what is below the current City Hall Plaza? There are acres of land there. Plenty to build right next to the existing building, and then destroy it after moving day. Creating a kinder gentler Plaza. Maybe with...

Put it on Melnea Cass Blvd. someplace. Close to crime and Highways. No tunnels. No neighbors. Everybody wins. Or, put it on the parcel across the street from the Police HQ. Wait, that's close to me.... Put it in Somerville where the theater just closed.

I for one am not bitching to bitch. The Silver Line and Ferdinand Building are nice carrots. I am curious why those projects could not be pursued on their own merits. In case I have missed something, why has the Plaza itself not been given as a place to relocate City Hall?

Do you know Norm? I worked with his band for a few gigs. Buckets of money are nice though.

This really makes me glad to have come back to the forum. I definitely recognize you Ron from my time living in Somerville. I had contacted you once to ask if you had been at Buddy's Diner, after I over heard a conversation there. I can see from the Metro pic, you were correct. It was not...

I haven't posted for months, until yesterday. I had to re register. But I have definite opinions on this. I think it is stupid. The Southie Waterfront is no place for City Hall. It is farther from the economic, and financial center of the city which will hamper interaction with between the...

I have been up that way. I am not absolutely sure about the location. But I think I have a good idea. It's the pier 3 blocks from Norm's right? Norm should open a rock club. He was one heck of a front man. I wonder if he still plays.... Sorry. It's the pier at Franklin and Commercial right?

It is true. I forget the final date. Things are not the same already though. I went for lunch the other day. The door was locked. I am hearing tales of cover charges as well. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I understand.

I don't think a tug will be there by the hotel too much....I don't see the infrastructure for the Cruise ship either. To be sure they are selling an idea. But the idea they shop should reflect what may reasonably take place, in my opinion. Which brings me to the Marketplace mentioned in the...

My understanding is that the Nog is moving down the street By Sally O'Brien's. I noticed a vacant space to the right of the Packy today. I can only assume that will be the new location. If I hear more I will post it.

Menino...Edifice Complex. That was pretty funny. It's almost too perfect. I hadn't heard of the Convention Center Naming issue previously, but it doesn't surprise me that he would have a back up plan if the Tower doesn't come to fruition. He strikes me as more Machiavellian by the week. He...
