Innocent people passing by on the T or the roads can see it, as can those who work or live in the fancy new office or residential buildings in Assembly Row.
The Orange Line counts about 51,000 weekday journeys between Wellington and Assembly stations, where Encore Boston Harbor is most visible from the rail (some riders are likely counted twice, on the way to and from work).
Add those viewers to another nearly 300,000 motorists traveling on I-93/Zakim Bridge, Route 1/Tobin Bridge, and Route 99/Alford Street Bridge, according to the state Department of Transportation. (As with the Orange Line, some drivers are likely counted twice.)
“It’s as orange as Donald Trump’s face,” said Sweeney, the star of the film “Sweeney Killing Sweeney.”
“It’s the same color as the lamp in my grandma’s apartment,” one passerby said. Others likened it to: “old union hall brown,” “ ’70s car brown,” and “taupe.”
Ali Nix, a native Everett resident, is in the “monstrosity” camp.
“It’s an eyesore,” said Nix, a publicist who’s confronted by the building every time she drives Route 99 to work or the gym.
“It’s like an evil person watching over me,” Thomas said in Assembly Row on a recent afternoon, her glass-and-steel tormentor over her shoulder, a fresh mani-pedi, an on-trend teddy bear coat, and a giant Louis Vuittan duffel giving zip to her look.
