Wow, I did not realize that. What a shame.

Lrfox, I was in Quebec City this summer and your photos reminded me that I wanted to post some. This was my first time there since I was about 6 years old. I hope you don't mind sharing your thread with my pics. Taken through my Ray-Bans:

Re: Fenway Area Redevelopment There are umbrellas now! Except they have Birra Moretti logos, not Upper Crust logos. Sorry, I don't have a picture, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Upper Crust Fenway is now open at 1330 Boylston Street. It's nice to finally have a business up and running in that space.

Re: Fenway Area Redevelopment I walked by the McDonald's this afternoon and it's all boarded up now with a sign that says "visit us in Kenmore Square." The big golden arches were sticking out of a dumpster in the parking log.

Looking out towards courtyard. I think the low building is for faculty/administration. View from the 22nd floor Two-story common area Here's a single-room. They are incredibly small in my opinion. I believe there's 800 of these and 200 doubles.

Keep a lookout here for some interior photos. I should have some up next week.

In a northern climate like ours the cheapest and most effective way to make a building more energy efficient is to just insulate the hell out of it. I think it is more that the "green" systems need to be supplemented because they cannot provide the total energy required for heating/cooling.

The problem isn't that people are unwilling to spend, it's that they are unable to spend. New debt creation from consumer spending has slowed to the point at which existing debt is unable to be serviced. That is why the banks are failing. The reality is that Americans have little to no personal...

Infrastructure for a start. I know it's been talked about at length here, but if we're going to be spending billions of dollars it should be turned into something that will have tangible value 50 or a 100 years down the road. Transit systems in metropolitan areas, inter-regional mag-lev...

Buy more and be happy? There's a word for that and it's not confidence. It's called delusion. Increased consumer spending is not going to save us like the Keynesians want you to believe. If the U.S. wants to be able to come out of this depression even somewhat intact, we need to start producing...

Re: New tower at Aquarium parking garage. I think terracotta can go with glass quite well if done right. Take Renzo Piano's Aurora Place for example....

I took these this afternoon.

As far as I know, possession of marijuana is still illegal in the same way that driving 100mph while not wearing your seatbelt is illegal. Besides, "they" would re-criminalize marijuana in a blink if they knew there wouldn't be considerable public backlash as a result.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am), but I believe GGP owns Faneuil Hall Marketplace, which is essentially Quincy Market and the buildings running parallel to it. Faneuil Hall proper is owned by the City of Boston. So I think the article is incorrect to say that GGP is...
