Either every city with an NFL team gets to host a Super Bowl...or New Orleans should host it PERMANENTLY! There is no better place for that kind of event.

The appeal of Key West : 1.) off Duval street are the pastel colored single family homes which resemble those "up north". 2.) getting drunk. 3.) the drive on US 1 through the keys.

Patrick---Most people in Miami Beach consider SOUTH BEACH is everything south of 23rd street. Mid Beach runs up to approximately 75th street (this includes Millionaires Row or streets in the 50s as well as the Eden Roc and Fontaineblu Hotels) and north beach is up to 96th street where it...

Will do. Loser.

FLAindy, vBulletin was made for prunes like you; if my posts bother you that much then all you need to do is block me and put me on your ignore list. Ask a MOD if you need help. Getting back on topic, did you like my track, "Take A Shit On My Head?" --Armpits.

Foul! I'm sorry but I don't log in every day. Have we all agreed not to respond to "armpitsofmight" unless he can post without using filthy language? I'm no prude but I can't stand reading those posts. Armpits....do you have turrets?

As my grandmother used to say, "no need to go into Boston, Lynn was THE place!".....yeah....in 1938.

As a kid growing up in Lynn in the 60's and 70's there was very little difference between Lynn, Salem and Peabody. All 3 were distinctly middle class, smelled awful from the tanneries and factories and had their "good" and "not so good" neighborhoods. But all 3 served southern Essex county...

Agreed. Waterbury is one of the more interesting cities in CT. The architecture is more interesting (read:old) than most of the suburbs around Hartford.

Agreed. For anyone driving 128 on a daily basis the use of the breakdown lane during rush hour is frightening. Not that most people posting on this Board would ever consider daily highway driving in suburbia! Perish the thought!

That was a good article on Miami. It is URBANE....not URBAN as I had claimed in an earlier post in the "White Flight" topic.

Thanks Kennedy. That was exactly my point. It DOES sound elitist when those of you very knowledgeable about urban planning, architecture and design (most members of this Board) try to educate. Don't get me wrong....I've read this Board for 7+ years now and I have learned a hell of a...

Unless you work for the census bureau, I think 98% of Americans would consider Miami "urban". Like I said before, it isn't necessarily pretty, but it does have its bright spots. Boston it ain't. That's the point.

So South Beach is "urban" and Miami is not. Huh?

Re: Gardner Museum to undertake $60 million expansion Anti-deliberately contextual.

Wow. I looked at page 39 of this thread and new construction is right. Should someone win an award for making it look like a 1920's rooming house in downtown Lynn?

I like it. True, the additon could have been better but sometimes people on this Board are soooo negative and they take Boston's distinctive architecture for granted. Buildings like this don't exist in Charlotte, but if it did, it would have been torn down and replaced with a Popeyes! I...

I beg to differ. Miami is one big urban mess. There are really no suburbs to speak of here. The sprawl extends for 75 miles...all the way to West Palm Beach. (Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Everglades to the west). While sprawl is a good description of suburbian areas in the NORTH, most...

Miami is not urban? Are you kidding? My definition of "urban" is how long it takes me to get to work...regardless of the suitability of public transportation. I live 11 miles from downtown Miami and some days it takes me two hours to get to work. Lots of lights, people, buses, accidents...

Had those "boxes" not been built starting in the 60's...perhaps Boston might have developed more like a European city for the last 40 years...denser for many miles beyond its central core. Imagine not the immediate cities which border Boston (Chelsea, Cambridge, Brookline, Quincy) but the 2nd...
