Rose Kennedy Greenway

[BarbaricManchurian]

The first pic looks like an urban paradise, unfortunately in the other ones, the city doesn't look too nice with the gash of the Greenway. The parks look great, some 5-15 story buildings on maybe 40% of the Greenway will do wonders for the space.

The Hard Rock cafe is located in a parking garage? That is awful.

 

[caravaggiste]

i know, right!?

 

[kennedy]

I thought Hard Rock was going in on Lansdowne St.?

 

[Ron Newman]

No, that's House of Blues.

I always thought that was SUCH a SHIT site for the Hard Rock.

Here's an idea. Michael McKinnell's original plan for City Hall included a beer garden. Why not the Hard Rock? It's no sillier than some of the redevelopment schemes for the building that have been posted here...

What exactly is a beer garden?

Let me suggest a new location for the Hard Rock Cafe: a rocket, being shot directly into the sun.

A beer garden is exactly what it sound like: a "garden" (usually a yard with trees and tables set up) where you drink beer, outside. My friends live near one in Astoria, Queens and it is so popular they actually feature it in the new GTA IV game. It's the best way to relax after work when it's nice out.

Bohemia Beer Garden! I love that place! I have some friends nearby (off of Ditmars Blvd) and try to make a point on going there whenever I'm down. It's a great place to go on a summer night.

Likewise across from where I live they just opened the Brighton Beer Garden. Unfortunately despite all of my hopes and dreams it is not actually a beer garden, merely a sports bar.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed a fine example, Midway Gardens on the South Side of Chicago. Prohibition killed it.

I wouldn't be opposed to this solution either.

Would not Gov't Cntr be the most ideal place for a bear garden?
Pleny of dead space (barring special events) and you've got plenty of public trans so people won't have to stumble far.
