My guess is that quick serve food uses encourage loitering by non-travelers.

Let's demand its only vegan bowls. That will clean the place up.

But they will need to enlarge the bathrooms…

Like One Congress?

I’d like MORE of what you describe, but One Congress, at least, delivers.

SST is way less underwhelming than Winthrop which is a total snooze.

Winthrop did an impressive speedrun of becoming background filler that I never notice. And as a skyline element, everything Winthrop does SST does better, in which case I have even less of a reason to notice it.

Winthrop currently has the most impactful night lighting of the 5 tallest new buildings built. It remains to be seen whether South Station Tower will live up to the renders. State Street's is solid, but from too narrow of a viewpoint and is otherwise practically invisible from most angles other than the sign. Millennium Tower and 1 Dalton both completely disappear into the night.

I walk (and drive) along the Greenway often and am at North Station/the Garden, as well as East Boston a lot, so -- to me -- One Congress is plenty visible, but you're (of course) correct that from perhaps more traditional money-shot angles of the skyline -- Charles River Basin and anywhere West of the city -- it can disappear.
