Boston from South Bay parking garage. ❤️
Kudos to Global Arts Live. The untold story is that the nonprofit's founder was interested in, and toured, the Seaport. It was pathetic. Under Walsh, Seaport cultural obligations were marginalized. Even an $8.5m endowment became an expendable contribution. bostonglobe.com/2025/09/26/art…
Salem eliminates parking minimums for new development, in bid to make housing cheaper... bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/bus… @andrewnbrinker
Cargo bike spotting in Fort Point today @RideCargoB
US Rep. Stephen Lynch today called for a Congressional probe into allegations that Tom Homan, President Trump’s “border czar,” accepted a $50,000 cash bribe as part of a FBI sting operation into public corruption last year. dotnews.com/2025/lynch-wan…
Provincetown is “losing its charm.” (According to anyone who must never have visited Provincetown in the 1960’s, 70’s or even early 80’s, when P-town was still largely a haven for artists, before it lost its charm to ticky tacky T-shirt shops.) bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/met…
A friend exploring the North Shore asks why @MassDEP signage identifying public ways and amenities is so poor. And why no basic design guidelines? I let him know we’ve fought this battle for 3 decades. Guess who the “opponents” are? Mollycoddled property owners & developers.
Below, my Globe comment on David D’Alessandro‘s piece, “Business community needs to get on board the Wu train.” In my view, Boston needs a new brand of business leaders, not buy-in from the old guard. Comments and arguments welcome. bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/opi…
Globe cites “Area around intersection of Summer St. and Congress St.” as Boston’s #1 source of parking complaints. Minor correction: Summer and Congress Streets don’t intersect. bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/dat…

Imagine a newcomer to the S. Boston waterfront thinking about having a fair shot at elected office, learning the hard way that an entire political structure exists to exclusively promote the politically-connected using public resources. As if Southie is their exclusive territory.

Good ol’ boys at @Massport — long known as one of the Commonwealth’s incubators of crony capitalism, believe it’s OK to use public buildings on public land to advertise select candidates for public office. I don’t give a damn who owns the ground lease. This is a public resource,
Waiting for retractions from those in positions of responsibility who fueled outrage in the press rather than leading in a fair and cautious investigation of facts. Why was drama the top priority? (For a clue, see today’s over-the-top hysteria in the Herald.)

Two questions for @jonchesto: 1) Will there be an investigation into bid rigging given the cozy relationships revealed via FOIA? 2) Will Suffolk build Global’s service plazas, or are they precluded from doing so given their history on team Applegreen? bostonglobe.com/2025/09/26/bus…
Why is it important to note that Midway was founded and developed by "(mostly) women?" Because the women that spent 6 years of their lives, from concept to opening day, saw their history erased by revisionist bros who spent <6 months financing a purchase of the project in 2014.

For the 20th anniversary of Midway Studios, Midway's newly-elected board will be celebrating the project's founders and development team, a core group of (mostly) women working to develop permanent, affordable housing for artists in Boston. Stay tuned for details (and more).
