interesting, all of the spaces i've liked this time around are in the int'l category.

arlington is the suburbs. the boston area is weird though. even the city kind of feels like the suburbs at times.

weird, for the number of shows being added, very few were mentioned. hgtv has become kind of an abomination though.

best to check with someone who understands the material. depending on your table base it might need to be supported in certain ways. because it was destined for a counter top it may have been cut a bit thinner than if it was planned to be used as a table top. just a guess.

i don't buy the basic premise of this article.people have different needs/working styles. maybe instead of mistakes, we should talk about intentions.

I'm not sure this is really the inside scoop without talking about $$. Also, and maybe this is just my experience, but I find it hard to think about Boston without consideration to the areas outside of boston. boston is less a city specifically and more of a region given the huge number of people that live outside of the city, and in many cases outside of the state - north shore, south shore, NH, RI etc.
