    This is the first I've heard that the Mayor has his sights set on the Star Market and surrounding shopping areas across Burgin. There's not much info provided though.

    Quincy General Developments

    Not sure I agree that this is realizing growth potential. They are replacing one business with a tidier one and both are car oriented and low density suburban.

    Barry's Corner Mixed-Use | 180 Western Avenue | Allston

    Wow a continuous street wall along the main road uninterrupted by office park seating areas. Nice!

    Now that's an odd one. You think they could have splurged on wrapping the house in vinyl while fortifying the front.

    That roofline is designed to allow daylight over the entire floor of the building. It was common in older factories before everything was just illuminated with electric lights. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saw-tooth_roof Other remnants of the old industrial waterfront, such as the canal...

    How long have you lived here?

    "Middle class" can't afford the average home in the Boston area. Yes, agreed the high cost of living and doing business has chased away a lot of the things that made me love Boston.

    I had no idea Sheraton was a Boston export, and neither did I know this was the original. Went down a little rabbit hole. Thanks!

    Fenway Corners (Red Sox) | 1 Jersey Street | Fenway

    The new buildings and urban fabric they will create will be nice, much like along Boylston. The stuff in those new buildings will suck, much like along Boylston. In time things will mellow out and hopefully acquire some "character" and "charm", and that can only happen within good urban fabric...

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Wow that was amazing! I don't think I've seen Revere Beach captured so well. Its glory days precede me, but I like to imagine based on stories I've heard, and it looked better than I imagined. Thanks for posting!

    Housing in walking distance of the T... Can't think of anything else to like about this. Could it have turned out any worse? They could have put a stately park in front of the old hospital building but instead did parking and a dropoff area. The buildings could have had some relation to the...
