Proposed Seaport building makes giant developer crabby

The Boston Business Journal reports that owners of the Barking Crab won't go silently into that good night: They've submitted plans to replace their shack with a six-story building that could complicate plans for the gazillion-dollr Seaport Square project all around the restaurant.

The developers of that project had proposed their own six-story building basically right atop the ~~Krusty Krab~~ Fort Point Channel establishment - and offered space in it to the Barking Crab.

John Keith offers some grudging admiration for the shellfish behavior:

Gale International did all the "dirty" work, hosting at least six community meetings, modified all its plans, got everyone on board (including the BRA) and now the BC wants to come in and just build? Well, wouldn't you?
