Where am I? The photo contest

[pelhamhall]

I thought it could be fun for people to post kind of obscure photos and have people guess where in Boston (or Greater Boston) the photo was taken.

I'll go first:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/pelhamhall/DSC01797.jpg

Where am I?

[statler]

Fuck you Pelham!

I've had this idea in my head for years, I've just been too lazy to follow through.

So...thanks.

That said, I have no idea where this photo was taken. :confused:

[Boston02124]

parking garage on claredeon?

[pelhamhall]

Bingo! Boston02124 wins. You're looking at the former Hard Rock building, The Clarendon, the Old Hancock, and the dead give-away... 500 Boylston with the arched window and concrete ball adornments on the podium roof.

Here's another from the same garage:

Where am I?

[Boston02124]

back bay? boylston st?

[DZH22]

It's definitely a view of Kendall, and I don't see the river so probably somewhere in Cambridge... someone else finish this one off

[belmont square]

Inside the Trinity Church steeple?

[kmp1284]

Hancock, 5th floor +/-?

[belmont square]

^ Would have to be the original Hancock, no? Or the Clarendon.

[kmp1284]

No, I'm reasonably sure it's 200 Clarendon, maybe a little higher than the 5th floor though. Those are obviously the two spires on the western side of Trinity.

[Justin7]

Hancock, 5th floor +/-?

Yeah, I'd say 10th.

[pelhamhall]

I didn't take the pic, so I'm not exactly sure, but it's around the 8-10th floor of the Hancock Tower, looking out towards Cambridge. Here's the full picture that I used for the crop-job:

[Boston02124]

I've been thinking about this one for awhile... I think I know it but I'm not going to guess yet.

At first I thought it was Avenir, but now I think it's something else...

[Ron Newman]

statler: One Bowdoin Square, Verizon?

[statler]

^^ Close! Six Bowdoin Sq. One is that little funky building next door.

Yup, Ron got the correct answer.

It's acceptable for it to be called Down or Down's Syndrome; either way is fine and who cares if he said, "your" instead of "you're"... it's the interweb, son. Anyway, you're still a douche.

Jeez Armpits, I didn't realize we were having an asshole of the week contest this evening. Perhaps next time you ought to tell us when the contest starts instead of running headlong into the assholery without so much as a notice of competition. After dinner when I'm good and liquored up, maybe I'll play along.

I think Pelhamhall's must be a school somewhere, for some reason. Could be Blackstone School in South End. Or is the old WGBH headquarters?

[Boston02124]

^umass boston would be my other guess

[Suffolk 83]

That could be the first time I've made that mistake in years but yea you're right armfuck. and yea you're still a douche.

I call it the Greek National Bank building, but i think it's some other bank now. Located between Devonshire and Congress where they meet State St. (across from the Old State House)

[Boston02124]

correct!

[JoeGallows]

Here's one for you guys. Hint: it's in Cambridge.


Harvard Street near Central?

Harvard Street near Central?

Correct! Corner of Harvard and Clinton.

^to be fair this is in Camb.

[pelhamhall]

I'm going to guess One Broadway in Kendall?

Here's the fuller, less cropped version of my photo... any guessers now?

[czsz]

^to be fair this is in Camb.

MIT?

[crash575]

pelhamhall,

Is that the 'New' Charles River Dam?

[pelhamhall]

Correct! It is the "new" Charles River Dam - located next to the Leonard Peter Zakim Archie Bunker Hill Freedom Charlestown Interstate 93 Bridge and the old Charlestown bridge. It's also the State Police boat station.

[pelhamhall]

Boston02124's concrete window grid has me stumped. I've checked photos and it's not the two I thought it could be - it's not the East Cambridge court/jail and it's not One Broadway.

My guess now is an academic building at either MIT or Harvard but I don't know.

Here's another:

And to answer your question, the last pic I posted was taken within Boston proper... somewhere on the Shawmut Peninsula...

[Boston02124]

no wrong again! ^ ur pic(pelham)is it part of the same complex as ur last pic in Charlestown?

[CDubs]

[Boston02124]

correct!

[pelhamhall]

^ Art Deco older portion of 75-101 Federal (I think that's the address). I figured this one out by spotting in the window the reflection of that building which recently housed the Boston Stock Exchange.

[Ron Newman]

Well, my "somewhere at Logan" doesn't really count as an answer. Where at Logan? (I don't know, or I would have said.)

[Beton Brut]

Where at Logan?

Harborside Drive. It's the Ted Williams Tunnel Vent Building, opposite the airport Hyatt Hotel. The area, geographically, is called Bird Island Flats.

This is in Boston... not on the Southcoast. It's within the city limits. It says, "Southcoast" in my signature, but that photo is from Boston.

Note, despite the references, this is NOT at the the Granary Burying Ground or King's Chapel Burying Ground.

[statler]

That is the pathway/alley by Winthrop Sq. I used to know the name but I've forgotten it. It cuts over to Arch St.

I won't give any hints but I'll post a zoomed out photo if no one gets it.

Somewhere near the Renaissance Hotel at the Seaport?

[crash575]

nope

[Ron Newman]

MIT Sloan School (Hermann Building)

[crash575]

Closer but no it's not the Sloan School.

[Ron Newman]

This (http://web.mit.edu/campus-map/objimgs/object-E53.jpg) is the building I was thinking of ... but you're right, it can't be, because the MIT building has only two rows of those windows.

[Boston02124]

the building in the reflection looks like the apts at Alewife sta.

[crash575]

Cambridge is the right town but no it's not near Alewife.

[crash575]

No more guesses?

It's Building 400 in Technology Square (Cambridge).

^Gotta be another Cambridge Building....hmmmm

[Boston02124]

franklin st

[kz1000ps]

^ Right. It's actually the backside of 260 Franklin, in that little alley.

Next!

Back side of Harvard-Epworth Church in Cambridge?

[kz1000ps]

Nosiree.

[Boston02124]

I'm stumpd!

[kz1000ps]

^ It's in Allston.

Another... someone better recognize this one:

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/213/img5232b.jpg

[Boston02124]

the building where the old greyhound building was, I think at stuart and arlington streets

[kz1000ps]

Not even close :)

[crash575]

Landmark Center?

[czsz]

There's a building in Bulfinch Triangle that has a landscaped atrium like that...complete with a waterfall, from what I remember.

[kz1000ps]

Crash, you got it!

And czsz, you're thinking of 101 Merrimack Street.

[czsz]

That's it! The ABP there has a nice "terrace" that opens into the courtyard. Kind of a relaxing, tranquil place.

[kz1000ps]

Very much so. Great place to grab a bagel and read a book.

[snarl71]

Mass General Hospital along Charles Street (adjacent to Storrow Drive) and near the corner of Blossom Street?

[kz1000ps]

Yep. Shades of Aalto.

[kz1000ps]

What's the name of this jungle-y street?

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3716/dscf00041.jpg

[czsz]

Looks like South End?

[kz1000ps]

Not in the South End.

[Ron Newman]

St. Botolph St? Bay State Road?

[kz1000ps]

Nope to both.

[Boston02124]

Marlboro st or Beacon st?

[pelhamhall]

St. Germain near the Christian Science church?

I'm thinking somewhere closer to the Fenway area...

[Ron Newman]

Symphony Road?

[kz1000ps]

St. Germain near the Christian Science church?

.

You can tell it isn't the South End or Back Bay because the doors are just about at ground level and the front yards are really small.

[Ron Newman]

Does that mean that my guess is also wrong, along with any other similar guesses for other nearby streets in the Fenway?

[JohnAKeith]

Cookie cutter front lawns? Yeah, I say St Germain St.

[shiz02130]

Landmark Center?

[kz1000ps]

Oops meant to put a yes before that period. It's St. Germain.

[Ron Newman]

OK ... but I'd call that street (and others east of Mass. Ave., north of Huntington) part of the Back Bay.

[kz1000ps]

I wouldn't. That's East Fenway territory to me.

[Boston02124]

where am I? http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn80/boston02124/proposed%20and%20then%20what%20was%20built/371.jpg

[vanshnookenraggen]

Boston Water and Sewer Commission building on Harrison and Melnea Cass.

[Boston02124]

too easy! how about this one http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn80/boston02124/boston%202010/108.jpg

[kz1000ps]

Is that on Bay State?

[JohnAKeith]

This won't be hard to figure out for most people but a cool photo, nonetheless.
