Remember when every new development proposal in Boston seemed to involve life sciences?

The Crimson: Real estate firms are hitting the brakes on laboratory development in Allston. The Crimson says this includes a halt to plans for a billion-dollar lab-sciences and residential complex where WBZ is now on Soldiers Field Road.

They don't offer any courses in spelling. They don't even have a department of experimental and applied orthography.

I love your headline.

I thought that the Crimson meant to suggest that these real estate firms had gone surfing.

Thank you BPDA. Thank you Marty. Thank you Michelle. Not only a waste of good land, but the higher income people brought into the city have priced the middle class out of the neighborhoods where some families have lived for generations. Roxbury is pretty much gone. Mattapan on deck. Michelle is now in charge, and will she ever start listening?

Oh, man, I thought I committed another typo for a second, but, no, twarn't me this time - I just copied and pasted what the Crimson wrote (and then didn't notice it until I read these here comments). I've changed it here, not to try to preserve the reputation of Harvard writers (I mean, I can already think of at least one crack that starts "You can always tell a Harvard Crimson writer, you just can't ..."), but because it's painful to see.

Anyone know how much of 66 Galen Street in Watertown is leased? I often walk past it(usually on my way to skate at Casey Park). When that space was first cleared out(there used to be an auto dealership and a Valvoline oil change location), I thought it would be an apartment building.
