Fenway on Fire

I had a funny feeling about the welding going on at Fenway Park while I was snapping these pictures Saturday night.

T stop gets a makeover

Peer into the pit with me.

This Blue Line station (State) is getting a makeover, according to these workers who were kind enough to let me take some pictures of the work-in-progress.

Construction craziness - Will it ever end?

My commute is like a soap opera. I am on the edge of my (car) seat every morning.

Will the left lane on VFW Parkway be closed this morning? Or will it be the right lane? Will the stupid retail construction and its overflow of paving mess be spewing onto Route 1 this morning? Will it be finished in time for football season? Or will the Patriots be forced to play in a stadium surrounded by piles of dirt and gravel? Do I take I-95 and risk getting caught in a tangle of traffic at the Split?

Commute under construction (again)

I can't escape it. It's like the construction is following me south.


The new bane of my commute is the construction on Route 1 by Gillette Stadium. Generally there's not much typical* traffic on a given morning (especially compared to when there's a football game or concert). But add some orange cones, big machines, and men in DayGlo vests and you've got a traffic-stopping mess on your hands.





*Typical traffic = general volume, frequent slowdowns, commuters afloat in a sea of brake lights (ex: Storrow Drive at rush hour)
