17 weeks


Here's this week's profile shot. And a Flickr stroll through all kinds of other bellies at 17 weeks.

Last night we went to an NBAT (Newton-Booth Alhambra Triangle) neighborhood association meeting regarding the ongoing saga of the new condos going up on S street & Alhambra where the state buildings are. Developers are pitching a huge 278 unit "condo" community and we're pushing back on several aspects of their proposal by drafting a letter to the developer and City before it goes any further. Now, I say "condo" because 700 sqft doesn't really sound like the ideal owner-occupied dwelling. It sounds more like an apartment. But don't get me wrong, we're not against additional housing in our neighborhood, but it has to be done right and in accordance with the City's rules and regs. The way it stands right now, there are just too many units, not enough parking, the potential for traffic congestion problems and the poor people that live on S street now between 34th and Alhambra will have to deal with 400+ noisy new neighbors.
