Oddly enough, it all relates to the project.

Well, in theory.

Schmess -- you're just jealous that you can't come up with anything original so you have to wait until ol-westy posts

for your enlightenment these ladies were all associated either with Scollay Sq. in its early to mid 20th C heydey or the Combat Zone -- Scollays later less exiting and somewhat more raunchy re-incarnation late 20th C

and nearly everyone of the Boston political elite [aka Democrats] during those periods seems to have had a weakness for these highly skilled ladies favors

Why not after Benjamin Franklin Keith, who i believe first brought the motion picture to Boston, and is one of the founders of vaudeville.

Why not Thoreau? Walden Pond is just a couple miles north.

The path through Charles River Park is Thoreau Path, so that name is already used.

It's just a metaphor (or a simile, or whatever) for the development process in Boston - probably one that's closer to reality than it should be.

Anyways turning this thing back - I understand whole the build includes a significant portion of green space work, would seem there's an opportunity to actually remind people that there's an inside to the West End, and it had a park. Maybe residents around the way would like to keep it secluded, but if the area's never going to reestablish a remotely urban fabric, the least we could hope for would be a better, more obvious entrance to green space. Not gonna lie, I only learned that there was such a thing as Thoreau from looking at a map.

Cantab -- to complete the diversion of this

there's a true story about a Japanese Banker visiting the area a few years ago who was being entertained by a local banker from Concord

when the entertainment process was over the Japanese Banker went to his seminar at the Boston Fed

and later he talked to his folks back in Tokyo and when asked how the trip was he said it was fine as far as the technical matters were concerned

But he didn't understand the entertainment phase -- the locals kept dragging him to see old houses and tracts of conservation land


while all he wanted was to meet Lester Thurow -- apparently his accent led to the Concordian's thinking he was interested in Henry David Thoreau and the Concordian's threw in visits to the Emerson House as well

Hey new idea how about instead of purposely taking this off topic yet again and most likely annoying a lot of people on here we actually talk about the building being proposed.

Does anyone know who is doing the landscape design?
 
Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

Any BRA updates from last night? I'm sure the Longfellow Towers community came with their pitchforks.

*Woops, meeting is tonight.
 
Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

Sounds dramatic...was it approved?

It was an IAG meeting, not a BRA approval meeting.
