Mancandy

handsome, hunk, hairy chestI’m still traveling and on the road so I didn’t have time to update my blog and am assuming nobody will mind this “fluff” post that I fondly refer to as mancandy. The good news about these posts are that they have zero calories and are likely to make you smile no matter what kind of day you’ve had.

Vintage gay

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share?

Real estate news: Exchange South End gets approval

A 1.6 million square-foot project in the South End wins key approval

The $1 billion development known as the “Exchange South End” received approval from the Boston Planning & Development Agency last week to build on the former site of the Boston Flower Exchange in the South End.

The development, which sits on more than 5 acres of land, will eventually be home to four new buildings that will sit between I-93 and Albany Street. When finished the new development is expected to have an estimated 7.000 technology and life science jobs.

According to this Curbed Boston article The Exchange will include:

  • Buildings will total 1.4+ million square feet of commercial, technology, and life science research space.
  • 42,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.
  • 30,000 square feet of civic and business-incubator space.
  • 30,000-square-foot, publicly accessible park.
  • With an additional 14 surface spaces, the Exchange South End would contain a total of 1,159 parking spaces.

HUBweek 2018 announces some big names

boston innovationEarlier this summer I wrote a post about HUBweek, which will take place this year from October 8-14. The annual fall festival celebrates innovation  in art, science and technology when it takes over Boston’s City Hall Plaza later this year. Michael Bloomberg, Malcolm Gladwell, Deepak Chopra and Atul Gawande were previously announced as speakers at this year’s event. Earlier this week HUBweek organizers said NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd and Parkland  shooting survivor, David Hogg will also be coming to speak at the festival.

Dowd will take part in HUBweek Forums, discussing how the future will look in terms of everything from cities to health and medicine and Hogg, a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and a co-founder of March for Our Lives, will be part of a HUBweek forum in Faneuil Hall on “the successes and challenges of the nationwide student-led movement to end gun violence”.

Many pf the events during HUBweek are free but they do fill up. Learn more here: hubweek.org
