My, look at how big Back Bay has gotten
By adamg on Tue, 03/27/2007 - 9:01pm
1010 Mass. Ave. is an office building with 220,770 square feet of space that is, according to its Web site, conveniently located "in Boston's Back Bay."
Larry Davidson of Dorchester, who ran across the site, can only laugh:
... 1010 Mass Ave is in the Newmarket Square area, which was in Roxbury the last time I looked. Some people might justifiably claim it for Dorchester, since it's close to the Dot border - but in any case it's nowhere near Back Bay. It isn't even one neighborhood over: all of the South End sits between this part of Roxbury and Back Bay! ...

are there any truthful statements on that page at all?
Convenient to public transportation? Where? Not even the Silver Line bus goes anywhere near this building.
Easy walking distance to Berklee College of Music? The Prudential Center? Copley Square? Hynes Convention Center? You gotta be joking.
Close to South Bay Shopping Center and MORE!
Lessee, you might never find a better hot dog than in the lot at the corner near the expressway. Also, if that hotdog gives you serious reflux, Boston Medical Center is right nearby. Also, there are a number of noteworthy Irish bars not far away in neighboring parts of Dorchester.
Want something exotic? Try 88 Supermarket.
See? Not so bad.
Here A Bay, There A Bay
Back Bay, South Bay, what's the difference?
the other day a friend who
the other day a friend who lives in cambridge was trying to convince me that there was a hooter's in the north end..... i told him that NORTH station wasnt necessarily the NORTH end. But this would be like trying to say that North Cambridge was in the North End!!
You had a point until you tried to make that analogy
The Hooter's isn't quite in the North End, but it's 2 very short blocks from the North End, and the closest T stop to Hooter's (North Station) is also the closest for much of the North End. Same general neighborhood, especially since the elevated 93 is now gone. The Bullfinch Triangle is technically part of the "downtown" neighborhood but it's not unreasonable to group it in with the West End or North End.
North Cambridge is miles away from the North End.

North End boundary
I think most North Enders consider their neighborhood to end at North Washington Street. Partly because the elevated I-93 and Orange and Green Lines cut off most of the Bulfinch Triangle for many decades, but also because the Bulfinch Triangle was and is largely non-residential. The Triangle also lacks any Italian character.
no, my analogy was my
no, my analogy was my point.... north cambridge is to north end as 1010 mass ave is to back bay
and no one i know in the north end, including myself would include the bulfinch triangle. by that logic you could just as easily add quincy market or long wharf
