Back Bay / South End Gateway proposal updated

Posted on March 12, 2017 | 3 comments
boston real estate, Back Bay T Station

Back Bay/South End Gateway proposal will include 1,260,000 sq ft

Last month the development team for the Back Bay/South End Gateway project shared their revised plans to transform the MBTA Back Bay station, the neighboring 100 Clarendon St. parking garage, as well as the entire block bound by Dartmouth, Stuart, Clarendon streets and Columbus Avenue, which also includes four air-rights parcels.

Their plans call for a sprawling mixed-use complex that includes three new high-rises that would accommodate residential, retail and office space, including an office tower with ground level retail. In addition, a new 11,000 square-foot public plaza has been proposed for the Clarendon Street side of the station.

Images below were provided from the February 1, 2017 documents shared with the Boston Planning and Development Agency. All images are from the Back Bay / South End Gateway Project Draft Environmental Impact Report. Click on the images below to enlarge.

More modifications will likely be made before it gets board approval. Public comments on the project will be accepted until April 16 and can be directed to Michael Rooney, project manager for the Planning & Development Agency, at Michael.Rooney@boston.gov.

The members of the council who initially voted to ban OUTVETS should step down

Posted on March 11, 2017 | 1 comment

gay boston, lgbt rightsAn “emergency” meeting was held on Friday by the 13-members of the Allied War Veterans Council of South Boston — the group who organize the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. Following that meeting, they announced they signed an ‘‘acceptance letter’’, clearing the way for OUTVETS to participate, which in effect reversed their original announcement barring the group from the 2017 parade.

While the organizers ultimately did the right thing they’ve once again cast a shadow over an uncomfortable legacy of discrimination.

It was unclear if the reversal of the decision was a result of a second vote by the council, but what is clear is that several of the members of the council need to step down and allow new members to replace them. While the organizers ultimately did the right thing they’ve once again cast a shadow over an uncomfortable legacy of discrimination that most of us had thought was put to rest when the LGBT group (OUTVETS) were first allowed to march in Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2015.

The damage done by the members of the council who initially voted not to allow OUTVETS to march was self inflicted and news of their decision was picked up by local, national and international media. Those who initially sought to justify their vote to ban OUTVETS claimed it was the use of the groups rainbow in their logo that was the source of them being denied to which Bryan Bishop, OUTVETS Director replied,  “…I told them if that’s the case, then every picture of a rainbow in the parade that leads to a pot of gold needs to be removed.”

However, the bizarre excuse sounded more like a vain attempt to deflect criticism and calls of discrimination that put the parade in jeopardy as more of Boston’s Southie residents started speaking up and as several high profile parade sponsors sought to distance themselves by ending their relationship.

Cheers: Mayor looks to add 152 new liquor licenses in Boston

Posted on March 10, 2017 | 3 comments

Stella Patio PartyEarlier this week Mayor Marty Walsh office working in conjunction with City Councilor Ayanna Pressley would add another 152 non-transferable liquor licenses to the City of Boston over the next three years. The proposal would bring the following to Boston from 2017 to 2019:

-Ten citywide (seven all-alcohol licenses and three malt & wine) licenses a year, with no more than three a year able to go to Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and North End each (30 total)

-Five licenses (three all-alcohol and two malt & wine) a year, 15 per neighborhood over three years, for each of the following: Dorchester, E. Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Mission Hill and Roxbury (105 total)

-Five licenses (three all-alcohol and two malt & wine) a year for Main Streets Districts (15 total) as well as one all-alcohol license for the Boston Center for the Arts in the South End (hooray!) And finally the Lawn on D would get one all-alcohol license.

More needs to be done to reform the State’s antiquated liquor licensing laws but this is a move in the right direction. You can read the full article from BostInno, here.

BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on March 10, 2017 | 5 comments

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s riddle:
I’m the longest ruling monarch in history,
The most ruthless that you’ll ever see.

I travel the country with blistering haste.
Laying castles and outposts to waste.

Swatting down cavalry, disassembling the faith,
If I should fall, I’ll see you again on the 8th.

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.

Scott Thorson and Liberace

For those unfamiliar with Liberace and his intense relationship with the very troubled, Scott Thorson, I’d suggest you watch HBO’s 2013 brilliant film starring Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his lover, Scott Thorson – Behind the Candelabra.

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?

SpeakEasy Stage presents Grand Concourse

Posted on March 8, 2017 | Leave a comment
SpeakEasy Stage Grand Concourse

SpeakEasy Stage production of Grand Concourse || Photo by Glenn Perry Photography.

This past week The SpeakEasy Stage Co. production of Grand Concourse opened. The one hour and forty minute drama addresses the mysteries of faith, forgiveness and compassion in a soup kitchen in the Bronx.

Despite the heavy sounding subject matter, the four member cast have several funny lines that guarantee periodic outbursts of laughter. For those who enjoy Latin men, Alejandro Simoes who plays the character of Oscar will make you smile whenever he is on stage (mas Alejandro por favor!) While I enjoyed the four member cast, and they worked well together, it was the slightly crazy character Emma played by Ally Dawson who I followed whenever she was on stage, wondering what she might say or do next.

This is the fourth production for the SpeakEasy Stage Co. 2016/2017 season, which has had one excellent show after another. Grand Concourse closes in approximately three weeks so make plans today and purchase tickets to go see this show. It will make for a fun night out or date option.

LGBT group denied to march in Boston St. Patrick’s Day parade

Posted on March 8, 2017 | 5 comments

gay boston, lgbt rightsIn case you missed it, today’s Boston Globe is reporting something I read on Facebook last night, but didn’t believe (this is the age of fake news after all).

It appears that the Gay veterans group (OUTVETS), which has marched in the two previous St. Patrick’s Day parades in Boston is saying it was denied spot in South Boston parade later this month.

OUTVETS posted a statement on its Facebook page late Tuesday. Ed Flynn, a South Boston resident and a member of the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council — the parade’s organizer — confirmed that the group did not receive approval to participate in the March 19th parade.

Thus far neither Mayor Walsh nor Governor Baker have commented and the organizers of the parade which voted 9-4 against allowing the veterans group to march in the parade had not returned emails by the time the article published.

Follow the OUTVETS facebook page for updates.
