If they have a Super Off-Road machine I'm there

Great look inside an industrial data center:

Is there a long term plan to try to get Marr out of the adjacent lots to connect this back towards Dot Ave better?

I wonder if that driveway predates the access road to the Plaza or vice versa. It's weird to have a driveway drop into an intersection like that.

So "The Benjamin" on Franklin...aahhhhh .

That's been vacant at least a decade, maybe longer. Huge win if this goes forward.

What happens to these mockups when they're no longer needed? Just scrapped? Seems like it would make a great exhibit for a children's museum, or at least someone's super sick Densha De Go setup.

What's there now...

I honestly didn't know that building to the right (408 Atlantic) is that old until seeing that photo. It looks so firmly planted in the late-80s aesthetic that it looks like it was designed from the outset that way, even though it's been modified. There's some sort of plaque at the corner of...

I wonder if the designers of the current building took that arch motif from the original building as inspiration or if it was just serendipity.

Yesterday afternoon I had the honor of attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the EcoTarium's new Stoddard Exhibition Hall. This 8000 SF expansion adds a 6000 SF exhibition hall with 16 foot high ceilings to allow for the large travelling exhibits that usually only come to Boston. It also...

I think being over the Pike is the type of thing that helps this place be so popular. The neat trick it pulls is how it makes you want to explore it, especially with the seating on the upper levels visible from Mass Ave. and the design of the staircase. You get to go on a little 2 minute quest...

Is that actually a entrance to a balcony in the bathroom? Even if it's not, I'm not the biggest fan of that much window right next to the shower.

The Gardner has purchased an apartment building directly behind the museum on Palace Road with the intent to prevent future development there. They plan on maintaining it as residential, for now at least...

That's a great point about the volume of people in this area. I don't think additional gerbil tubes here would make the street level any less vibrant or chaotic. For one, the bulk of the traffic is people coming in from out of town for care, and second, most of the lunch places, etc., still...

I love how everyone wears red colored socks in Boston, especially around all those brown bears we see all the time. Anyhow, yes, the name sucks. Why not just call it "Boss FC" or "Boss Town FC" - those would sound awesome. Marketing by committee, and I suspect they're going to find the limits...

Fascinating stuff, Mjolnir! Longwood could be such a model for patient-centered design if they could get all 4 hospitals connected so patients wouldn't need to go outside.

Why are the doors so narrow?

I attended a screening of Inundation District at the EcoTarium on Sunday night, which was focused on such issues. The conceit was that the developers of the Seaport should be on the hook for any seawall development to protect the neighborhood that they've invested in, but I thought the film did...
