Beautiful picture Endus, and hilarious analogy, Statler!

Have we seen this one before? Not that I mind seeing it again at all, it's a fantastic shot. But I thought this one was posted somewhere else.
 
International Place looks so great at night when you don't notice those awful palladian windows...
 
You're right. I found this one on the internet (maybe flickr) I don't know the photographer but it's now in my screen saver photo folder. Slightly different angle, but you can see how I confused the two at first glance:

 
Any idea how much longer the Stad is in Boston? My father raced across the Atlantic aboard that in the 2005 Rolex TransAtlantic as a member of the Storm Trysail Club charter group. I would love to get over and see it again before she leaves.

Guess the Building:

Took a walk today (and some pictures) in the Leather District.

There is a power plant across the street from an old school diner.







And some interesting views.




Swan boats are back.




And then some time in the Pru's garden.






Best view of the Pru I've found so far.
 
benches with plaza-turned-parking-lot at Paul Rudolph's Government Service Center:
hey state government it's April! plant some flowers in the planters and sweep the gravel off the benches and steps! I've half a mind to go over there with a broom and do it myself...
 
restoring this building's proper dignity would go along way to make it more likeable.

get rid of the parking lot, add some cafe's, some seating.... there's no reason this couldn't be a nice successful plaza.

It would also give people a reason to walk or sit on those awesome staircases and finally give this building life. Then again, i wouldn't object to a nice triangular (or whatever shape that parcel is) building there either.

I should add that parking lot to the "things i hate about boston" thread...
 
^^^

yeah I would have thought that after they filmed the "departed" there they would have cleaned it up a little bit and let tourists / locals alike enjoy it.

guess not.. Gotta love the Govt ....
 
Could be real in the future, though...a lot of PDs are switching to Impalas.

Frankly, I think it looks nicer, and it's probably more fuel efficient, too.
