Not sure about the hired political favors part, but a Greenway BID would go a long way to getting the Greenway/Conservancy off of state funds.

I did see it! Thanks for posting. In any case, to be 200% over budget on something is a bit wacky.

Greenway appoints investigator after critical report Globe article about some sort of whistleblower's report about finances and over budget Echelman art piece.

I'm sure CJP can pony up the cash for several synagogues in the Seaport district, but I don't think there's enough critical mass to justify them.

In this case it is as long as you don't touch it. Once you start disturbing asbestos, the risk of it becoming airborne is pretty high and remediation costs starts to shoot up so CAT decided to just cap it and move on. That's the story anyway. If Wynn wanted to spend the money, he certainly...

Yep. Edit: South Bay Tower was to be built at the site of the current MassDOT building (where those pics were taken from), not that mound.

Wait, that doesn't even sound right.

Re: Theater District Parcel P-7A | 240 Tremont Street | Downtown Maybe some folks are interested in reading what other people here might think, so they ask a blatantly obvious question just to solicit those opinions. Anywho, how about those small hotel rooms? Anyone stay in one?

Re: New Brighton Landing | New Balance Complex Good points. Record cold here plus a port shutdown on the west coast = slow construction activity.

Spot on! I read three times in a row just for fun.

^Burn. I read somewhere that the land was actually sold, but with stipulations. BBJ article

CityLab rarely mentions Boston in any of its articles. When they do it's often anecdotally. They seem to focus on the hip cities du jour: New York, LA, SF, Austin, DC.

Re: MBTA & Regular Driving May Be Shut Down During Coming Snowstorm! I can't take it anymore! :eek:

Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But I do agree, some of us are having a hard time picturing how a spire is going to look on top of this building.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Dear Steve Belkin, Please go away. Better yet, take a permanent TNT Vacation.

Not sure if this belongs here, but Crate & Barrel Furniture on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge closed last week after being open for thirty years. Not sure what's going in next or across the street at the now shuttered (moved to Somerville) City Schemes store. So much for Furniture Row!

Curious. Why doesn't this building have one of those concrete cores going up the middle like so many other buildings have these days? Is it because it is below a certain floor count?

The BTD controls those intersections now.

They are replacing the granite crosswalks with asphalt.
