It was probably just VE'd out.Why did they eliminate the roof-top bar? NIMBY attacks? Menino didn't want another alcohol license going out?
I'm guessing those two forces of irrationality (NIMBYs and Menino) must explain this - there doesn't seem to be any logic behind not giving this hotel permission to have a roof-top bar. This would be the perfect location for one.
I thought there was an edgier one that was posted that had Apple smeared all over it.
That image would seemingly be way too short to be the current (17 story?) proposal. The pnf shows the hotel as being a fair bit taller than the building that houses the wang.
Maybe an obvious question, but what is the rush to get things approved before Menino leaves? Are developers and the BRA really that concerned that Walsh is going to come in yelling "stop!" ? Do developers have to refile or something?
