We've been pretty excited about the news of all the construction and projects here in Boston. Our last post briefly summarized some of the future projects in Boston and here's yet another one! Well...actually this one is an old project that was never completed, in fact it never truly began. Supposedly there are plans (which were originally [...]

Something that is often taken for granted in Boston is the fact that it is constantly on the cutting edge of technology and business.
