The new owner? The new owner's son or daughter? The song by Suzanne Vega?

I think I've seen that building before

Someone can open Tom's Diner in that space.

The way it is, you want to be as many blocks away from the Common as possible.

… internet trolls were put in the stocks and pillory on the Common.

Today, it's full of marijuana smoke and hard drug addicts

...certainly the imaginary Boston Common, living rent free in your head, is full of those things. Also "illegals".

I mean you have to be high to post some of the drivel you post.

And you have lots of free time to reply and post. So you must not work.

So maybe you're one of those low life scumbag welfare sucking drug addicts that you speak of. Sometimes it takes one to know one.

To be in front of the State House, by the Brewer Fountain, on the hill with the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, or in the Frog Pond?

You don't live in Boston anyway

Челябинская область is a safe distance, certainly.

So residential values seem to be holding up even with higher rates.

Too bad residents won't be able to watch the Common safely from their windows because with such views they would never have to waste money on cable television.

How much time do you spend in the Common?

By Don't Panic on Thu, 07/18/2024 - 3:16am.

"Luka's near the Common" just doesn't have enough cachet real-estate marketing wise. It's like if you were an innkeeper putting a sign on your inn stating "George Washington slept near here", It just doesn't sell well.

It's no worse than all the hotels with "Boston" in their name that are located 30 minutes from the city.

By scollaysq on Thu, 07/18/2024 - 12:38pm.

"Luka's on Lagrange" would be closer. (At least they didn't say 'commons' I guess)

By lbb on Thu, 07/18/2024 - 3:26pm.

Maybe "Luka" means something in some other language, like 'pretentious overpriced apartments". Is there a google search for that?

Lagrange Street inspires short term rentals to a certain generation. Not in a good way.
I thought it was amazing! More cash contracts were finalized there than anywhere in the Financial District.
