I would love to join the hate, but I just went to my local House of Sport and picked up some On Running shoes for me and my wife and some kicks for one of my kids. Great selection and nice staff, too. Would this be better in Burlington? Maybe, but if the zoning is what it is, then this is great...

That first shot really hit home the amount of development that has been completed (and is still going on) in the Boylston/Brookline Ave stretch from the Pike to the Fens since I left town over 15 years ago. I like the slow and steady pace of things and how it continues to evolve.

Looks like someone folded time and space and instantly transported us from Allston to Greystar in Everett. I kid though. I lived in a new 5 over 1 a few years ago after living in Hudson Yards and honestly, it was perfectly fine. Lifeless outside aesthetic, but the apartments were quite nice.

The house that Mounjaro built.

I must have accidentally ended up on some rich person list, because I get lots of pings from guys slinging condos in car-branded Miami towers and now I am getting a lot of pings from this one. I think they have fully ramped up the marketing engine.

That origami-looking building is fire!

Looks like some Kendall Square lab buildings escaped the asylum.

Is that top left corner condo furnished? Looks like a model unit maybe?

I am saying this hiding behind a wall and at a safe distance from Ab, but I don't like the way this building looks. It seems busy and the colors already look dated and it will not age well. Am I out of my mind?

Well, at least there are people there socializing, sitting around, etc. A lot of Midwest cities downtown's would dream of this.

The more I see this building go up between the design and the actual glass panels going up, it feels like a building designed and built 30 years ago that was put into storage and is being brought out and dusted off. Maybe because I have not seen it in person?

I know I am whining to the wrong people, but the chasm of open sky the demolition has opened up after decades of this hulking monstrosity makes me wonder about the hypocrisy of shadow laws for Boston Common or the Harbor Towers/Aquarium Garage nonsense. How was this totally ok, but a 700-foot...

In my next life, I want to come back as a slurry wall rig.

Sort of gives off a Warren Towers vibe and that is not a compliment.

Any time I see those solitary concrete cores completed with no floors built, I just think of the opening scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
