The Kenmore bus station is finally getting its scaly glass skin.

What if the MBTA decided to embark on a construction project to improve service on the D Line during Red Sox season and didn't tell anybody?

While everyone is preoccupied with the impending D Line shutdown, the T has been quietly working on another project that hasn't disrupted anyone's life. Trouble is, they don't seem to think that you want to know about it.

You just knew this was going to happen

Kenmore is still a series of glimmers of hope that quickly fade as leaps of progress turn into months of "Are they even doing anything?"

Seeing the banners at Copley and Arlington forced me to finally get around to resurrecting my transit blog.

You know those cool above-ground maps the T installed in the 1970s - then never updated? Paul Levy was looking at one at Kenmore and noticed all the long-gone names:

... Hospital of the House of the Good Samaritan; Peter Bent Brigham Hospital; Jimmy Fund Research Lab; State Teachers College of Boston; Boston English High School; New England Deaconess Hospital; Beth Israel Hospital; Sears Roebuck and Company; Children's Hospital Medical Center; Boston Lying Inn Hospital; Joslin Clinic. ...

He also provides some stats on the Longwood Medical Area (2 million patients a year!).
