The Boston Globe reports that the developer of the stalled "Filene's project" in Downtown Crossing (Boston's version of OneTen Westminster), may be looking to get out:

Still, Vornado’s exit could be seen as a step forward, since the firm’s executives are out of favor with Menino, who has made redevelopment of the Filene’s block a top priority. In March, Menino accused Vornado executives of deliberately allowing the property to become blighted in order to pressure the city to provide funding or other help. “This development is too important to Downtown Crossing and to the entire City of Boston to be used as a bargaining chip to improve your bottom line,’’ Menino wrote at the time.

Wouldn't it be nice to see our mayor taking a hardline on OneTen or any other stalled blight currently plaguing this city? Sure, on Menino's part it is mostly just hot air, but hot air is nice sometimes, isn't it?

PBN is asking in a poll if the 35 Weybosset Facade should be removed. Feel free to go there and vote no. Word on the street is the current owner has given up and is trying to sell the property as is. I have not been able as yet to confirm that by finding a listing for the property or verifying that any other way.

Hi, I am Pat Brown, owner of The Silver Top Diner. I have been looking for a spot to rebuild the diner and would like to know if anyone has info on this spot, what the address is & who owns it. Is it city land? The Mayor of Providence, David Cicilline had told me a few years ago he would love to have the diner back in Providence. Does anyone know how big this piece of land is? or any info on it at all. Please contact me. silvertopdiner06@yahoo.com Thank You, Pat brown
