Went to the Childrens Museum this weekend.
Standing on the Childrens Musuem pier looking towards the city, I thought IC, IP, Atlantic Wharf and the Federal Reserve buildings really stood out looking over the bridge on a very positive note.
Looking towards the city of Boston it's like saying anything is possible.
Then I looked back to the Seaport District. Moakley Courthouse, Fan Pier, Box Condos & restaurants in the area. I'm not sure what the city planning agency is thinking at this point.
Looking towards at the Seaport district evolving, it's like WTF.
I was very impressed with the Childrens Museum. I think it's awesome for Children also a Great location.
I was near the courthouse this weekend too and my observations are about 50% similar to yours. Looking back on downtown, the city looks great. However, I'd like to see more activity in the financial district. It was pretty dull on Sunday, but maybe a few pubs could liven up the area away from work hours.
As for the Seaport, I simply enjoy watching that part of the city grow. It's growing slower than most of us would like, but remember when things moved fast? So fast that we were stuck with an awful looking city hall and a highway that sliced the city in half.
I keep looking at Fan Pier and the progress of the Vertex buildings. Then I see the huge gap between the ICA and the Trade Center and think of what will fill in that gap in the next few years. I also see the buildings a little farther down, and I'm confident that Seaport Square will fill in that missing space. It'll just take time.
