Re: W Hotel

My first guess was Broad Canal or Lechmere Canal in Cambridge, since the building on the right looks a bit like Thomas Graves Landing. But it's not really either one, as I don't recognize the left buildings at all.
 
Re: W Hotel

Well I think it looks just like the W...

Its Baltimore, the inner harbor.

There's a shitload of parking in Baltimore.
 
Re: W Hotel

That's how the WTC at the seaport should have looked like.

God, I need to start visiting more of America's shithole cities in order to appreciate Boston. I thought this was the canal near Kendall Square, too. Depressing that Baltimore's showcase attraction looks almost exactly like one of Cambridge's most dull and dispiriting regions.

From the DC thread:

"Parking garages are in many jurisdictions a prime economic development tool," said Mayor Stephen Brayman. "I think it incentivizes redeveloping in the area."
 
Re: W Hotel

^ Garages are fine if they include ground floor retail (Motor Mart).

Parking lots are never OK in a real city.

Last time I was in Baltimore it was way too generously equipped with the latter, and that kept it from functioning as a city.
 
Re: W Hotel

I think Baltimore is a great city...you may be looking at it too narrowly. It has wonderful, urban neighborhoods with handsome brick rowhouses. Granted, many of those rowhouses are in decrepit condition, but it is a city with good bones. I'd trade somerville, dorchester, allston, roxbury, mattapan and brighton for vast swaths of baltimore in a heartbeat.
 
Re: W Hotel

^agree I found Baltimore to be quite charming a bigger Providence a smaller Boston even though it has a bigger city population!
 
Re: W Hotel

Oh, I agree. I like rowhouse Baltimore. It's just sad that the city's "highlight" attraction looks just as architecturally and literally moribund as Kendall Square.
 
Re: W Hotel

I have to defend Baltimore as well. It does have some wonderful neighborhoods with beautiful rowhouse designs. Lots of great bars too in the old wharf district. I attended a game at Camden yard years ago when the Sox played the Orioles. Clemens threw a 2 -hitter. Afterwards, I went to a bar in that area and Clemens came in with a few of his buddies. There were maybe a total of 8 people in the bar. I approached him and told him he pitched a masterpiece. The A**hole wouldn't even look at me or acknowledge I had complimented him. One of his pals said "screw". I hope he rots in hell and his name will always be associated with 'roids.

LOL! Good story and typical of most of those overpaid boneheads. I've never been to Baltimore, but I do know their aquarium puts ours to shame.
