Dear Sir or Madam,

I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) to inquire as to whether it would be possible to arrange for a brief tour of the Burnham building / the Millennium Tower construction site for our annual winter outing in January.

The MAPC is the regional planning agency for 101 cities and towns in MetroBoston with a mission of promoting smart growth and regional collaboration by working towards sound municipal management, sustainable land use, the protection of natural resources, efficient and affordable transportation, the creation of a diverse housing stock, public safety, and economic development. The MAPC uses the winter outing as a chance to bring together its employees to learn about new or ongoing developments in and around Boston. Working primarily in land use, environmental, health, and transportation planning, and located in downtown crossing just down Washington St. from the Burnham building, I know that there is a lot of excitement about the Millennium Tower development among my colleagues.

Please let me know if a tour of any parts of the facility would be possible and/or if someone from the development team would be willing to speak with us about the history and scope of the project and the other work Millennium has done in the area. If this is at all possible, I would be more than happy to work out the details with you. Thank you for the consideration and good luck with the continued development of the tower.

Regards,

Hey there,
Thanks for posting your pics but I've noticed something in your preface of the pics that remind me of the following...
My mother had the habit of always saying...hmmm, my sauce didn't come out as well as I usually make it or I don't think the roast came out very well, etc. which of course set the tone of the meal (expecting that the rest of us wouldn't like it either) in spite of the fact that her cooking was superb and always was wonderful. I used to say, ma, let us make that judgement, before you tell us ahead of time what's wrong with it!
I really appreciate your photos in spite of the fact that you take them with your phone (I do too) and that the lighting isn't always perfect, or whatever. It's ok but when you apologize ahead of time in your pic description, it sort of takes the fun out of scrolling down to view your pics. I'm expecting he worst when, in fact, heck, they're good pics! Of course, it's just my opinion and I hope you don't take offense.
I finally figured out after many years how to post so I'm always appreciative of anyone who takes the time to post pics.

Hiii. Would it be possible for me to republish your images of the 212 Stuart Street project on the Boston Magazine website? Those photos of the church arch are fantastic.

DM me or email me at john@johnakeith.com. I'd love to put it up today.

Corey,
Thank you for the pictures you post. I really appreciate your efforts.

So ... do you still have those plans for Parcels B and C???

Uh, so if you want to get some free cash from Uber you can use my coupon code: 4zq9k

Just enter it in before you take your first ride, there's a menu option.

Full disclosure: it gives me cash too. so if you have a friend you'd rather benefit than me, you should get his or her code.

Hi Briv, Is it possible for someone to tell me why I can't post attachments? I've emailed archboston several times in the past 2+ months but received no replies. Thanks, John

Hey there, data'
It's atlantaden, I tried to find you on Facebook, since you practically gave permission.. (Refer to my Facebook pix if you haven't already snooped! ;-)) but I was unable to find you on FB! I would enjoy being a facebook friend and would send you a request but, since I can't find you, I'll give you my FB name with the hope you'll send a friend request! Dennis Ferioli Hope you do friend me! Thanks, Den

Hi there. No worries at all. I'm just happy to hear that news. Although I am very tempted to see them, you don't have to send them. Don't want to get you in trouble. Does this mean that the Garage is coming down on a set date, or are these renderings just conceptual? Thanks.

I like to but u reminded me of how much trouble I almost got into when I posted the south station video so now im a little leary about posting renderings as they do belong to our cilents and they hav'nt submited them to the BRA yet so sorry shot off my mouth before I checked if it was ok if u send me ur email I can send u them but please donot post!!!

Could you please share the renderings (or at least the news) for 1 Congress? You really got a lot of board members exited and then were mum on it.

No, this.... "That's UMass logic for you. Isn't our state university system great?"

I've never been one for sensitivity towards psychopaths and morons or in this case, psychopathic morons.

Hi, I am nominating bblancha to be banned from this forum. Can you please make it happen? Thanks.

if I go to the meetup tonight, how do I find you? I can't find your cell phone number here.

hey, didn't see you're message til now.

I am doing a Master's in Commerce and Economic Development. The program head did the T analysis on the impact of the MBTA fare increase.
Most of the work is online, but I try and get there once a month just to get that college feel if nothing else.

How you liking your program?

Matt
