Maybe the lions over at Harvard need a litter box.

Re: Residences at Kensington
Hey type001 you claimed you knew some insider info. Can't you just tell us? Its only us, its not like the whole world can see this or anything. I won't tell.
Tobes tell Gina I said Hi.... I didn't see her there till now, hopefully she calmed down.

Re: Residences at Kensington
To be honest, there is nothing that I know right now accept for that the project is approved. Someone on this forum knows either the developer or the architect and almost got someone I know into serious trouble because I released the renderings without permission in November of 2005. It was a misunderstanding, but I won't let that happen again.

Re: Residences at Kensington
Ok this is just ridiculous....how can they allow this to sit like that? Jesus, what is wrong with this city? The city should be taking action. They should set a deadline for the develops to get this off the ground again, and if they can't then they should be forced to sell it to someone else who can undertake this project. A huge "sandbox" should not be allowed to sit in the middle of Downtown Boston....

Re: Residences at Kensington
maybe it'll get scrapped and they'll put up a couple more strip clubs
but seriously city needs the money at least throw up a parking lot to get taxed.

Re: Residences at Kensington
Oh great, now some shyster is going to carp about the loss of an urban wild, or an ad hoc park for crack-heads, when construction actually starts. The developer, mayor, BRA, and landmarks, must be ashamed of the demolition of the Gaiety for this fiasco.

Re: Residences at Kensington
HUGE PROBLEM FOUND!
Excuse me while I create a laundry list of ways the developer can "mitigate" this issue to the benefit of my community.
On the bright side, it probably has more shade than the entire Greenway.

Re: Residences at Kensington
Just as an interesting historical aside, this 1928 Boston map (see link pasted below; looks like it's from the Assessor's Office) reveals that the parking lot appearing in the last photo in post #30 was once the location of a police station! Sure coulda used that back in the wild-and-woolly days of Lagrange Street. Which makes me think: Can you imagine what kind of nocturnal Mardi Gras that huge open space left by the demolition of the Gaiety would have hosted in the heyday of the Combat Zone? Oh, the humanity!!
