"The Coolidge" is a beloved neighborhood theater for independent film lovers, and one of Boston's few remaining art deco movie theaters. The Coolidge is planning a 12,000 square foot expansion to add two additional theaters, a community space, and a new lobby. These components will synthesize with the existing lobby and building to create a simple flow between the two.
Extending into that back parking lot, next to the CVS. BTW, that's one of my favorite alleyways among the several great alleyways in that area along that side of Harvard Street. Really a template case study in how to CELEBRATE and make dynamic alleyways.Did I miss the thread/announcement on this? The date is 2020.

In japan they make full use of side alleyways and even back alleyways with lots of stores and restaurants ffilling every available space. Its pretty cozy, no traffic, and also gives some nice extra space where you can spill out into the alley. When there is a bigger alley that has built up over time many times they install a canopy overhead between the buildings to create a covered pedestrian mall. I think it actually works really nice and it must more than double the rentable/usable retail space. I dont see any reason why we couldnt do that here besides we just havent yet so nobody would know what to expect.Wouldn't it be awesome if cities began to treat alleyways as niche spaces that can be dressed up and enlivened? I know many buildings use them in utilitarian ways, but many don't, and it is a lost aesthetic opportunity.
Bit of practicality (and regulation) in the way -- many of those "unused" alleyways are fire lanes.Wouldn't it be awesome if cities began to treat alleyways as niche spaces that can be dressed up and enlivened?

Looks like the link is dead. It's been ages since I've been to Newton Centre, but I'd pay a visit soon for sentimental reasons - has anyone seen any development on the apartment building that was supposed to go in between Cypress and Herrick Road?Small apartment building next to Newton Centre GL:

I haven't seen anything super comprehensive that was easy to play with in google maps, so I dug through this old gem and made a google map with some layers that show the approximate locations and extents of the parcels. My apologies if there is a version of this out there already.Does anyone have a full map of all the Pike Development Parcels? Got curious after seeing the news today about parcel 7.
That map is great. Thanks.I haven't seen anything super comprehensive that was easy to play with in google maps, so I dug through this old gem and made a google map with some layers that show the approximate locations and extents of the parcels.

* Disclaimer: I didn't go through any of the current air rights projects to make sure the boundaries are still valid and I am sure there are more updated resources out there.
