Last weekend I found myself reading Jaclyn Cashman’s article in the Boston Herald, “Sale of Hynes must include commitment to arts center”, and I’d encourage you to do the same.
She asserts that the building should not just go to the highest bidder but to a buyer that will commit serious square footage dedicated to the arts. Boston has spent the better part of the last decade bending over backwards, accommodating developers looking to build luxury residences that do little to enhance the quality of life in Boston and it is now time to make investments that can benefit all.

Hoping that both of you are enjoying the holiday On another note, did I miss a note along the way with regards to the Druker “what you may want to call it” s going up on the ruins of the Shreve Crump & Lowe I would have thought that the Shreve building would have fallen under “historical” architecture. I remember a few years back of the “commotion” the minute that Mr Druker released plans for the site I feel your pain with the traffic pattern of the South End. I lived in the area for years, a decade on Cambridge – the block of Sporter’s (for those of us who remember the establishment) and much more time in Dorchester but I worked at South Station spend most of the time in Rozzie, even though the condo is in Worcester with the new traffic patterns it now takes me 45 minutes+ to South Station and recently took 1hour20 minutes from Logan to Rozzie – where before it took us 30 – 40 minutes OUCH and while I feel your pain, I dred the traffic (sorry bike riders (and I used a 10speed from 1970 through 1989) when the Druker nightmare comes on line, not to be confused with the complex opposite Police Station #1
OK so much for my ranting OK enjoy the holiday weekend George Mercier
