$4 million package to keep JP Morgan in the city - by consolidating its local operations in a waterfront building, using city and state programs intended to help blighted areas. As the Globe notes:

... The tax breaks come as the city is struggling to fund its school system and Mayor Thomas M. Menino has proposed increasing parking fines to raise money. ...

However, the tax deal would run through 2022, with the estimated $4 million in breaks spread out over that period, so it's not like the city will have to close a school or two next month to pay for it.

Detailed plans due tonight for $3-billion, 5,000-resident development next to the Moakley Courthouse.

Shutterscript photographs it, docked at Rowes Wharf.

Yesterday, I linked to a cool photo on Flickr of a Beacon Hill street at night. Turns out the photographer has a blog, where he's posted that and a lot of other great photos of places around Boston (in particular, the waterfront).

Daily Candy shucks the starbucks and grabs a cup from Flamepoeira on Lewis Street in the North End, apparently just missing Bostonist.

Flamepoeira introduces a new type of cafe to Boston, a friendly, social, caffeinated art spot that is part Littlest Bar, part Pan 9-- yet oddly North End.

Fort Point Channel?

1960 waterfront photo - back when the Custom House was still the tallest building in town (compare to this slightly more modern photo).

Matt Hooker wonders if the woman living in the waterfront condo across the street from his office realizes he and his office mates spend way too much time watching her through her perpetually uncovered window:

... A 30 something woman who does nothing while at home... but watch shit t.v. Two men frequent her place. One her age. One much older. Who's the sugar daddy? Both? Neither? How can a woman who watches Dancing With the Stars marathons live in a luxury apartment on the waterfront?

I'll walk in and first shift will say "TV's been on since 7:30 am to 2:00 pm. Oh and earlier old guy walked around in his tighty whities after they disappeared for a while." ...

If you see only one photograph of Boston at night this week, make it this one.

Glowing buildings as the sun comes up.
