High Speed Rail U.S. Hey everyone, we have been slowly launching a national High Speed Rail campaign with support from Amtrak, FRA, and other regional rail authorities. The website is about ready to launch. We recently moved our operations from NYC back to Boston ( Cambridge,) If anyone has...

Nice to see everyone is talking about this. The protest today was successful. There are 2 more upcoming. One Saturday at City Hall in Government Center - being organized by me and a girl I'm friends with. We're expecting at least 3000 people. It is a result of Impact for Change a national...

That isn't the point. It doesn't matter where we are geographically. This is helping to catalyze a new movement in gay rights around the country. Why should homosexual couples have to pay taxes or abide by the law if they're unable to share their lives with someone they love? It's treating...

PROTEST PROPOSITION 8 RULING IN CALIFORNIA Sunday, November 9, 2008, 12:00-3:00pm, CENTRAL SQUARE, CAMBRIDGE Hello, There will be a protest in Central Square, Cambridge as a result of the recent proposition 8 ruling in California. Not only is it an illegal constitutional revision that altered...

This sure is starting to poke out in sight from Central Sq in Cambridge. My roommate and I were discussing it today. It will look rather odd to have something so close to the Hancock at night. I do like the idea of taller density starting to creep in though!

Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower Who did they hire for this reconfiguration? It better not have been in house....blagh.

Well I mean, one of my friends is pitching something right now in LA about the Boston mob mentality and government corruption in Boston and MA. I'll keep you updated. We live in a very scandalous place....social circular WASP non-ethics. Aristocratic dominance, governmental origins, societal...

I believe something like that is being proposed right now......

Haha well if you want the 'endless safety of the suburbs' then go to them. Boston violent crime is relatively low. There is a predilection for these kinds of conditions in an urban area. Also you mean to tell me that if a bunch of random non 'thug' looking kids were congregating around the...

Well yeah, I guess I should have been clearer. Harvard & MIT should sponsor a Cambridge wide fiber optic program. Their endowments allow such a thing and their strive for knowledge and connection has always reflected well in the area. It's just a surprise there isn't a service connecting the...

So, I know that the system is set up in Jamaica Plain all down Centre and surrounding streets as well as in the Forest Hills Area. This morning, I was walking with my roommate to work and found Verizon with a massive barrage of trucks and equipment along Main St/Columbia, Mass Ave/MIT...

haha, well I'm sorry but you can't prevent people from hanging out with their friends in DTX. Just because it isn't white, stagnant, and homogeneous - something this city seems to like - doesn't mean it's bad. The issue is a lot larger than these 'thugs' hanging out around the area. It is...

thank you, i couldnt agree more or said it better myself......minus the income tax repeal.

It would be perfect for a N-S rail link......much cheaper alternative.

haha, well still. I hate to be such a debby downer. Boston is an admirable city and pessimism isn't always the right approach. There have just been so many missed opportunities and things move at such a slow pace and get changed erratically. Why doesn't the city employ more progressive...

Well still, all I see are CVS x 3, Verizon Wireless, Starbucks, CVS, CVS, Starbucks, H&M, CVS, CVS, ATT Wireless, CVS, CVS. I have seen their 'branding' attempt. It is admirable but renderings are renderings.

Here's a novel idea! Let's build elevated rail tracks above the high speed traffic lanes and then turn them into a park and shield the pedestrian by constructing a glass wall from the bottom to ground level all up and down the greenway. Wouldn't that be grand!? Followed by fiber optic light...

I was supporting graffiti in the appropriate places - i.e. alleys, highway trenches, certain public domains. I'm mostly speaking of DTX inability (and the city,) to present a clear identity or not even that. I just don't understand what is going on down there. I'm all for urban 'gritty-ness'...

Any friends I bring to the greenway from out of town or from Cambridge who never dare cross the river [GASP] think that it is nothing more than a median strip. I know it's getting RAVE REVIEWS but seriously....I will say it over and over and over and over again, what a waste. 'this is a...

eh, trashy alert. Why is Downtown Crossing so trashy? blagghhhhh
