With the exception of Paris and London, most of these routes will need a decent amount of business travelers to be sustainable, but I wonder how appealing the value prop of Primera is for this segment. I am flying to Europe at least once a month and for example the Delta/AF Sky Priority benefit...

Re: Official City Hall Plaza Proposals Is it just me or does $60M sound excessive for the work that this visual appears to implicate? I see lots of new trees, landscaping and street furniture enhancements, but no large structural changes to the plaza itself... Granted anything would be better...

Re: Seaport Parcels M1-M2 | Seaport Sq. | Seaport ^ Always love reading your enthusiastic assessments of Seaport developments, Stick. And I am with you on this one. This will be the beating heart in the middle of the neighborhood. With the NEMA building wrapping up around the same time, there...

^Agreed, FINALLY! Summer street has a lot of potential, especially once the residential components of Seaport Square creep closer to Summer Street. The bike lanes and sidewalk reconstruction are great improvements. I am hoping they will improve the median as well. The above pictures give me...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport just posted a long reply to the Globe article. The whole point of Shelley that the city is restricting access is just so bogus. This is not a access issue, but an architecture issue. No one in their right mind can say access to the Harbor has declined...

Re: Offical City Hall Plaza Proposals Sometimes I am simply amazed by the level of negativity on this forum for anything that is not a Pelli designed super tower. I think the winter plaza is going to be a great success and be a very welcome center of activity between Quincy market and DTX. And...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport It's crazy to think that the current Google Map image of the Innovation District is probably no more than 2 years old, yet it seems like such a distant reality from where we are today. This is true urban renewal. Although some might not agree with the...

^^^^^ Indeed very impressive numbers. I am probably one of the 11% and have been flying a great deal more this year. I think overall the airport is holding up quite well. The new garage addition was completed just in time. What Logan does need is a true rapid transit connection to the city. the...

Re: Pier 4 Residential Tower | 136-146 Northern Avenue | Seaport I think Committee has been a good addition that mixes it up a little. Good, but not great, Greek/ ME food. The problem will be for all these places to stay in business during the ramp up years for the Seaport as a whole. It is...

I actually work in this part of Waltham. Having worked in the booming Fort Point area for while it definitely was quite an adjustment, but saving $500 per month in parking, tolls and gas and getting 1 hour of my life back each day is worth something as well. Hopefully some of these new...

I understand there are some very well versed architecture professionals on this forum, but I simply don't understand the consistent pattern of totaling condemning any new rendering before it has any detail to it and then slowly showing support when it is getting build. I am not an expert but...

I am with you sm89. I've been excited about this building for a long time. It is (part of) a good connection between the North Station area, the North End Haymarket. If the street activation is anywhere near decent, this building will be a huge win for creating a more connected city.

Number 49! London Gatwick by Norwegian starting in May on a 787 (!) From the Globe today:

Re: Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels) As if someone listened... from the Boston Herald

Definitely agreed! I walked by this yesterday and the Barking Crab had their patio extended in the "alley". Felt bustling. This will be even better once the hotel opens. On a more negative note, the closure of the Old Northern Ave bridge is really hurting the area. It is almost painful to see...

I think this decision was made long before the due diligence was done by Baker's team. I get the fiscal prudence, but heck can this man come out with something that creates jobs? Something we can be proud of as Bay Staters? I am just afraid he is sending the wrong message to the world that MA is...

GREAT! Just great. What else is there to say about such an amazing international expansion for a relatively small US airport. Looks like we are preparing for the Olympics already..

New Cathay Pacific service announced! 4 times weekly starting May next year. Logan is on a roll! http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/08/21/logan-adding-direct-flight-hong-kong/Sr2OSM0gxeAEQrUGJtEvVI/story.html?s_campaign=email_BG_TodaysHeadline

I just sent my first email to a Rep ever (probably should have done this a long time ago), but this issue got me quite worked up. What is this guy (Rushing) thinking??? Reps like him give people ever reason not to trust State Govt. This is purely a matter of interest of the few (BB and BH...
