I agree, but at least Congress St/Merrimac Street will be opened up.Im not as excited about the garage coming down now as I was before, knowing what comes next is horrible.
There's a lot of hate of the revised proposal and perhaps justified but the streetscape will be so much better when the garage is leveled. Maybe, just maybe, the actual building will be far better than the rendering.

I'm imagining another weekend Haymarket closure to get this corner down
I remember reading when they first built the GC garage that it's mass was intended to draw attention away from the old elevated Central Artery. The reasoning was that the massive GC Garage was deliberately placed perpendicular to the elevated highway, somewhat overpowering it visually, so that the elevated highway wouldn't loom so prominently over the area. However, once the elevated Central Artery was demolished, the GC Garage stuck out like a sore thumb.What once looked like a work of modern art, it now looks like a disgusting pile of junk!!
It wasn't a bad looking building; it was just out of place where it was located. It would have been fine at some other locations, especially out in a suburb.I used to admire that building when it looked like it had office space on the top floor.
Those office floors weren't original. They were added in the early 90s. I remember seeing them under construction, I always thought they added a more "completed" look to it. That said, if there was one building I wanted to see gone anywhere, it would probably be this.I used to admire that building when it looked like it had office space on the top floor.
What's the timeline to get this monstrosity completely taken down? Can't wait to have this gone.
Are development milestone often reported by quarter because the information comes from financial reports or because developers want to give themselves a three-month margin of error?Q3 2032
There was my Pinot with shining headlights facing my direction!
Ah, the pain of too many edits! Thanks....the car actually had less power than a bottle of Pinot Noir!You know what, Ford Pinot has a certain ring to it...
Someone with the pocket cash should take an old Pinto body and wrap some Tesla guts and call it the Pinot. I’d definitely watch that rebuild on YouTube!Ah, the pain of too many edits! Thanks....the car actually had less power than a bottle of Pinot Noir!
