[jencoleslaw]

i suggested at the cpc meeting that the ALCO sign also put a red nose on the front of the locomotive.

Well that was boring.

Mold, I should invite Taricani to my office. Sweeps. More like Naps. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Mold. The building isn't completely watertight yet, but they are installing draw wall in some areas. I think it's likely way overblown.

[Cotuit]

draw wall? Are you from Alabama today?

[bhooley]

Walked by this yesteday and noticed some electrical junctions for lights underneath each column. Those should be the upward lights for lighting up the building. Should be very cool...

[mental757]

so long as the mold doesn't overgrow them. They are still running 'follow-ups' on that 'breaking development'

how sad...

sensationalism at it's best 'sad' IMHO. Jim Taricani has gone from inside scoop on mobsters and crooked politicians to...

...mold

[citationx092]

Maybe Tericani liked to stare at the Masonic temple when it was abandoned. It's a real shame that such a stupid and common issue like mold is being brought up on such a good project for the city. He can go make himself useful and uncover all the illegal things that go down at the warehouse across from the 903, which by the way, seems to get more graffiti every day.

[MikeR]

Sad because of the follow-ups or the mold? I haven't seen any of the reports, is it really a problem or just media hype?

[Frankie811]

Hype. In the late 1990's I did some work for DLT and the OSHA office was in the same building. The OSHA inspector used to tell me stories when Providence Place was being built. The mall had mold during contruction too - water will get into new construction until the roof is on. All that happens is that cleaning crews go in and eliminate it and clean up everything after the building is closed up.

This story is much ado about nothing...

This never really seemed on task from the start. March 2007, is still a nice time though.

well, at least getting around the city via car or bus will be easier with this and the point street bridge both re-opening today!

Anyone available for some pics of this 'new' area???

Hopefully what they claim is true, and it will be used more often.
