Every time I see Pink Carrot, I expect it to be a corporate sibling of Pink Taco.

This is the first time I'm noticing that the sign has a couple "emoji" type faces. The black ties behind it add to the sloppiness.

How far we've come. This makes me so happy!

That's a really interesting installation method...

Also, I'm coming to like this building in it's form; the facade could be a step up. Something about how shiny it is when you walk by really cheapens it. A matte finish would give a more solid and "natural" look. I also still wish it was green as originally intended.

Both stores were once my go to Friday evening kick-off if I didn't have other plans. Hit Tower, browse, listen, buy something, then pick-up a nice bottle to drink while listening to the album back at the apartment was always a good way to spend an otherwise unprogrammed evening.

You and I probably bumped elbows back then, though I was more partial to Newbury Comics because they seemed to offer more interesting merch and had decent events, like the time my friends and I wandered in to a then-mostly unknown Elliott Smith playing an in-store concert. I bought his XO album on CD on the spot, he's been my favorite musician since.

Lego is coming to Boston. Hereâs what its CEO has to say about why. - The Boston Globe

As the popular toymaker keeps growing, it wanted a North American headquarters with access to a wider array of talented workers. It chose Boston.

www.bostonglobe.com

[Lego CEO] - “For us to continue our growth, we thought it was important to get into a metropolitan area. We looked around [and] Boston stacks strongly: the creativity, the culture, the value systems. We have access to very diverse talent [here]. This is what we need.”

Lego will lease 100,000 square feet across five floors — enough space to accommodate up to 750 employees — at 1001 Boylston St.
