Atlantic Wharf (née Russia Wharf) | Atlantic Ave | Waterfront

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

Boston 02124 your pics look great. I for one will never tire of seeing them, so never feel there are too many. Thanks again for your time and efforts in taking and posting them.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

Nice pics; I really like this tower.

Now all we need is the SST and this will be a nice, glassy corner of the city.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

If they had to remove the historic name, couldn't they have just used the street address or given it a name? There's enough "Wharfs" in Boston that they didn't have to come up with Atlantic. 520 Atlantic Ave or the The "X" Building........ at Russia Wharf.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

^ Which is worse: third rate or mediocre? From photographs, I see both new buildings slugging it out for both titles.

Hodgepodges of un resolved elements.

I know, I know ... you can't tell from photographs.

Then why post them?

Anyway, you know that's BS; most folks know Haghia Sophia and the Hearst Tower from photographs.

On a related note, Inception opens tonight.

Back to your question. If we were to have a coherent, uninterupted discussion regarding this 3rd rate project on a 1st rate site... hold a second.

Someone is at my doo

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

I am thoroughly confused.
 
Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

Admittedly not a well-made point, Kennedy, I was just expressing continued frustration that it's impossible to have a discussion on this significant project knowing that a somewhat surreal stream of photos will follow every comment.

The project's public waterfront spaces and first floor, all of which went through multiple rounds of BRA approvals and discussion/publicity in the Globe because of the site's status on tidelands, are soon to be completed.

I think given the knowledge of ArchBoston commenters a discussion would be more valuable than just visiting to view hundreds of images of a building that people can visit in person.

Needless to say, I withdrew this point when I made it before. It just feels like a missed opportunity.

Oh yes, I'm sure most people are clicking on these threads to hear random person X trying to one-up random person Y in who can be the biggest complainer. Instead of pictures, we can just listen to people bitch about it and then use our imaginations about how crappy any/all new projects are looking. Also, I guess it slipped my mind just how easy it is for every single person reading these threads to just pop down and look at these projects anytime. Why don't I just hop into my teleporter and I can go get my daily update. Seriously man, you could have at least been a little more timely in presenting your already weakened case. The guy only posted 3 pictures!

How do pictures make it impossible to have a discussion? Just scroll past them. It's not that difficult. The only thing disruptive here is your bitching about the pictures.
 
Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

Dude, relax. Sicilian is always pretty respectful and typically contributes to good discussion (and doesn't bitch).
 
Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)

Yeah if it's really a big deal just configure your browser to block images from showing up
