Don't forget the telescoping spire!

Parts of it are a carbon copy of the Wynn in Vegas and other parts are unique. For example the hallway rendering is basically a copy/paste from the Vegas casino, while the main entrance with the curving escalators is unique from what I can tell. Though the more I think about it the more it...

Depends how luxury the trim/amenity package is. I'd guess somewhere in the range of $1200/sqft, so ~$750k for a 1br and ~$1M for a 2br. Currently the Fenway market is around $1000/sqft for nice, older units. There aren't really many comps for new construction in this area except for Pierce which...

Usually there are only 2 bathrooms at the back of the plane for ~160 people. The wait can get really long and the bathrooms can get pretty nasty, especially on an overnight flight when everyone will be using them at once when they wake up. I've seen the line stretch halfway down the cabin on an...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Entry level business analysts get $55k-65k at my company. We have somewhere in the range of 500-1000 of them in our Boston office. Also, these are run-of-the-mill business/finance graduates from a non-Ivy school, not top-tier graduates. Not to...

I've complained before about the lack of higher-end bars in Fenway, especially compared to the relative abundance of sports bars and college bars. With Nathalie having opened recently and Fool's Errand opening up this week, I think my complaints are no longer valid. Fool's Errand reminds me of a...

The same could be said about almost any building in the world. Unless it's some architectural masterpiece or a soviet-era concrete bloc, people generally don't care what it looks like on the outside. That doesn't mean that they should be immune from criticism.

So when someone goes and shoots up a school, it's also the government's fault for not having stricter gun control... right? Don't blame the shooter, blame the government.

Re: Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay This is a bad analogy because if you steal my car I don't have a car anymore. There would be actual negative consequences for me. Compared to this photographer who has had literally no negative consequences from his photo being posted...

Re: Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay Agreed. It's like that woman in LA who yells at kids selling candy because they don't have a street vendor permit. Who cares, even if it might be technically illegal?

Re: Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay From an ethical standpoint, he never claimed it was his and he left the watermark on the photo. Nor is he using it for personal gain. I don't see what the issue is and why you feel the need to call it out? Of course, the legality is...

Those are all great spots to have a drink, but they're primarily restaurants. Though they do have bar areas it's not the same as a dedicated bar IMO.

Nathalie Wine Bar is opening this afternoon, located at the Pierce building in Fenway. Glad we're finally getting a bar out of all this new construction on Boylston. It'll be a totally different vibe from the bars down the street near Fenway Park. Hoping the neighborhood continues to build a...

I'd define a dive bar as: - Cheap drinks - Limited selection - No-frills/run down decor - Bar service only - Regulars In that sense dive bars and college bars are not mutually exclusive. If you're limiting the definition of dive bar to "must have a bunch of old people" then of course it's...

I could devote a fridge to all the mixers, liquers, fruits and bitters that would be required to make fancy cocktails. I could install a wine cellar in my basement storage unit. I could install a kegerator in my kitchen and drive to local breweries to pick up pony kegs. However, the value...

This is all just IMO of course, but I don't really see the appeal of dive bars. If I wanted to drink cheap booze I would just buy something from the grocery store and drink it at my place. I like bars that provide something I can't do myself: well-made cocktails, a curated wine list, or draft...

Wayfair is asking for the equivalent of ~30 floors on the Pru just to put some context on that amount of space. It's going to have to be an entire office building or a campus made up of smaller buildings. It's certainly possible they build up a campus in the South End starting with 60 E...

100% this. I was hoping that this development would provide an opportunity for some smaller retail operations that couldn't afford the rent on Boylston Street. Ideally it could have been an extension of the restaurant row on Peterborough which would have helped balance out and provide contrast...

Koreatown alone is bigger than downtown Boston. You're also forgetting quite a few neighborhoods - West Hollywood, Los Feliz, Arts District, Silverlake, Mid-Wilshire, Echo Park just to name a few off the top of my head. The main problem with LA is that the urban parts of neighborhoods aren't...

Of course. I was talking about people who are choosing to move to a city of their own volition. I know a lot of people don't have that luxury and have to go where the jobs are.
