We have an empty drydock in Charlestown. The Olympia is a great piece of history, and would go well with the Constitution. http://www.scolympia.org/faq.html http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20131006_A_plan_to_save_the_USS_Olympia.htm

Isn't the developer mister uber-liberal? So it would be all about public handouts.

Ultimately, there will be a monument, perhaps in Copley Square. I'd like to see something that isn't a "memorial", but something affirming that we carry on. Nothing mawkish like the horrible Irish Famine memorial, or abstract, or designed by school children. I'd like a 12 foot St Gaudens style...

Hope they bury him in a bacon casket.

I wish the moderators hadn't locked down the Columbus Center thread. That can't help but look as if it targeted Ned, even if it isn't meant that way. My record of disagreeing with him, especially as to matters such as the Ellis group, is clear. But I look forward to Ned's posts, and don't...

A wistful remembrance of the fraternal architecture of the DDR: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4531606,00.html

This is not an exercise in existentialism. I've been wondering (in a friendly way) about the meaning of some names folks post under and why they were chosen. Some speak for themselves, JAK and Ned Flaherty come to mind, or Kent Xie (ex-DFX). Mine? Toby for my dog, who is wiser than me...

Last night about 3 AM, as I was walking by the crater, I started to hear Johnny (or is it Edgar) Winter's "Frankenstein". Strobe lights were going off all over the broken open parts of the building. Fog was rising out of the pit. Little "Enchanted Village" figures twirled in the windows. Did...

Has he gone?

If you want an interesting bit of reading about how business is done in City Hall, read the FBI affidavit posted as a PDF at Boston.com. It is 31 pages long, but every page is worth reading. Many of our favorite characters appear, either named or pseudonimously. There are few heroes among the...

Car fans and photographers: Italian Car Day at Museum of Transportation at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline, Sunday, August 3rd, 10 am to 3 pm. (www.larzanderson.org) Good spot to picnic, and dynamite view of the city from the summit of the hill. The old Ferraris, Alfas, Fiats, Lancias are real...

I wasn't sure where to put this, but for movie buffs: Franklin St will be closed tomorrow so that Bruce Willis can make something called "Surrogates".

A. I don't mind reuse of any of my photos for non-commercial purposes. Look at 'em, print them on soft paper, smoke them, or just wipe your.....nose with them. Have a ball. B. I hereby authorize the commercial electronic display (but not commercial physical reproduction or sale) of any of the...

I though it might be interesting to discuss how (if) this area can be developed in a pleasing but practical nature. Let's look forward! Pope Building. This is how the area looked before the John Hancock Parking Garage, and before Copley Place. The taller brick building on the left is the...

I admit my bias. I love F1 racing. But what I love even more is the four day event that surrounds the two hours of the race. Skip the race if you don't like cars. Soak up the party instead. Montreal's race draws 125,000 free spending visitors. Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 supremo is...
