Where is this? I was in Boston this week and wanted to see it simply to take a Departed-inspired photo, to no avail.

That brutalist monstrosity is Boston City hall, at government center.

rashfreedom 03-12-07 11:15 AM

The whole government center around city hall in boston is awful especially in contrast to old building and areas in that vicinity. There was an area near kendall square by the garment district that look like it was designed by the same folks.

Mueslix 03-12-07 11:50 AM

Yeah, city hall was built during the late 60's so it has that era's special "ain't no students burnin' this down" architecture.

Kilgore_Trout 03-12-07 04:24 PM

BU's law school building is a hideous work of brutalist architecure. whose smart-a*s idea was it to mix ugly 60s architecture while having really nice colonial architecture only a few blocks away?^

^(rhetorical)

ummm, I don't believe city hall was in the departed. quite possibly the ugliest building in Boston. If you went to Fanuel hall/quincy market, I don't know how you missed it. The building that was the state police office is located a few blocks down from that location.

I have not seen the the Departed yet but every boston movie seems to use Government Center for something other than it's true purpose, example in Blown Away they parked a bunch of BPD cars out front and slapped a police HQ sign on it. The real police HQ looks a lot cooler, not sure if it was built then yet though.

BuddyMike 03-12-07 05:10 PM

A-1 is the headquarters right? I believe that has been there for quite awhile. Its been awhile since I've seen blown away.

BeantownFixed 03-12-07 05:25 PM

The heaquarters is right behind Northeastern on Tremont Street. It's a huge glass building. Is A1 downtown?

BuddyMike 03-12-07 05:28 PM

A-1 is on new sudbury I think or the next street over. Its between congress and cambridge str. by haymarket.


Ok, I remember where the HQ is.

Here's a bunch from PDX. I can't wait to move back after graduation; these weekend visits just aren't enough.

I get pretty jealous of all that I see come out of PDX. Is it really as great as it seems?

doofo 03-12-07 10:13 PM

depends on what you do and who you know

Jonny Pockets 03-12-07 11:20 PM

PDX is pretty amazing, as long as you don't let yourself get caught in any given routine; which I am sure is the same for any place really. The city just has so much to offer, but few seek it out.

I forget about all the BU housing. That's still a bourgeois area.
