    Fantasy T maps

    As a BLS alum, that "Boston Latin" station is grating on me. That's Latin Academy, not Boston Latin. Sumus Primi, etc.

    In the back, though! Jaguar XJR-15! Literally a Group C prototype for the street. And a Porsche 906!

    Those LH Chryslers still look great. I remember how cool the Intrepid looked, both generations. The Charger is a vastly superior car, but it never looked as good as the Intrepids.

    Starfire! My dad had a 1962 that was his first car. He wrapped it around a light pole on Morrissey Blvd. and has been chasing one ever since. Mom rolls her eyes every time he finds a new one for sale. I have a new appreciation for the F355 after seeing a Top Gear article on Jeff Segal's...

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    That '80s Chevy Pickup isn't quite right, looks like it has the roofline of a more modern truck and they grafted the classic nose on. Looks like a Mercedes SL behind it.

    121 Seaport Boulevard | Parcel L2 | Seaport Square

    That's kind of 1+1=3, in my opinion. Any barcade with a driving game would fall under that. I am, sadly, going to have to try this out. Maybe early on a weekday so it's not crowded. I just wish F1 had more tracks that were actually fun to drive - Red Bull Ring, Spa, and Suzuka, I guess Imola...

    Boston in Art

    Cute game-style marathon map from an Outside.com article. Don't know why they put the Zakim where the Neponset is, but otherwise it's kinda neat.

    Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    They were able to scramble cruisers to stop traffic. The police audio is something else: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/26/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-maryland/

    Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Both heartbreaking and terrifying. Thinking of all the people who were on the bridge when it happened - a reminder of how quickly life can turn due to things out of your control, something I'm all too familiar with at this point. Sounds like, amazingly, they've gotten two people alive out of the...

    Wouldn't the Hynes be over the tracks?

    I'm sure this has been posted here before, but I have a work trip in the New Haven area, and I encountered this today, which may be the single most cheeky bit of architecture I've ever seen: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MvWLNGVGqDhD9WpM6

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    I'm usually more of the preservationist type for these things, but man, that hotel (it's a Wyndham now, I guess?) has got to go. Drives me nuts that One Post Office Square had to be reclad, but this Topeka-Thinks-Its-Vegas looking thing sticks around like a cockroach. Sorry to go off topic...

    CambridgeSide Galleria Reno/Redev | First Street | East Cambridge

    I'm glad that it appears to be more of a restoration than a redesign. That has always been one of my favorite outdoor spaces in the metro area.
