Yeah funny, I don't ever recall eating here or even seeing it or noticing it, and I used to spend a lot of time around here.Where is that Sal's pizza located? I don't remember a location near this project.
Idk where else to put this but hotel buckminster is being considered for landmark status.

Does anyone know if there's a thread for 725 Beacon? It's going to be a 22 story tower which should be really prominent in that area. Surprised there isn't more discussion about it on here.People tend to view Pike air rights projects as restoring connections, but what they forget, is that before the Pike, these neighborhoods were severed by the railroad for 100 years, and before that, many of them did not exist, which is why the rail road could be built in the first place. So no, I don't think it's wrong to point that out, or that pre-car cities actually sucked pretty badly. But just the same, every step that does stitch together previously blocked connections when done in the 21st century can be very good for urbanism.

Thanks. I thought “Fenway Center” was a broader development.This is the thread for 725 Beacon Street.
and some areas that were just undeveloped wastelands. The area between LMA and Kenmore was such a wasteland: first it was a swamp, then it was filled in, and it never was developed into anything other than some piecemeal buildings of light industry in the first half of the 20th century (when of course there was also no such thing as the LMA, the LMA being mostly a mix of residences in Roxbury and undeveloped parcels speckled with institutional buildings).
You’re referring to The Fenway and the handful of institutional development that occurred along Huntington Ave and the Forsyth Gate to the Fenway. I’m talking about Brookline Ave. Yes, the Necklace cut across it but the rest of Brookline Ave was always underdeveloped. Up through the 1940s there was a mess of rail yards just behind it and the Sears building; the development that did exist was industrial and there were huge undeveloped lots.I don’t think this is true.
The MFA, Isabella Stuart Museum, Simmons, Emmanuel, Boston Latin, Winsor, and Harvard Medical all date to the 1900s or 1910s. Furthermore, the park through the Fens was laid out by Olmsted as early as 1887.
The filling in of the river to make a parking lot and construction of the big mass of roads especially where Brookline meets Boylston occurred in the 1950s.
Here’s a nice write up:
