That postage stamp-sized opening in the upper left of "eswwaa's" images was closed this afternoon...
 
Boston02124 I love the shots of the "Last Tenement" juxtaposed against Avalon North Station. Nice work!

Boston -- I agree completely -- the image is by far the best involving Avalon North Station

JeffDowntown its sort of an homage to local boy Mr Spock [aka Leonard Nimoy] who grew up in a building similar to and very close to the last tenement and went on to stardom

Its also an homage to the American Dream -- the late Mr. Nimoy used to hawk newspapers on the street and today [well assuming he made the right investments with his Star Trek money] he could buy not just the choicest apartment in the picture -- but everything in the picture :D
 
Someone finally hit that building with graffiti above that cellular telephone sign over the weekend. And it's not the good kind of graffiti: just a mess.
 
Time for the Feds to sell the Tip O'neill building to a developer

From so many different vantage points -- all you see is this massive bunker-like blog -- squatting on prime property like some enormous African Frog -- just need to paint it green :(

It's one thing for the Fed's to own a specialized facility such as the Volpe or the FBI -- its totally different for them to own a potential major development site

I bike past this daily from Northpoint and haven't managed to warm up to it in all of the years I've done so. I'd support a development here.

The new traffic pattern at the Staniford/Lomasney intersection has managed to snarl a confluence of roads that I didn't think could get worse. To wit: more crosswalk "go" plus turn arrows has made walking there worse than prior to the work. And Martha RD back to 28 is pretty nasty, too.
 
This is a good project and looks good at street level... I walk by it all the time. Now, what they should do:
- cycle track along Lomasney and Nashua Street
- develop the parcel with the Lone Tenement or just demolish it and reconfigure the crazy road designs around this intersection
- sell or lease the state property of the very poorly maintained "park" (where the "greatest neighborhood this side of boston" and hubway station is) to allow construction of a row of small buildings... maybe townhomes with one or two retail. Here.
