City to pilot music and arts space in Brighton
The city of Boston plans to open temporary music and art studios in Brighton next summer. The Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture has been working with the Boston Housing Authority to design a music and arts building, alongside affordable housing, at a large city-owned parcel at 290 North Beacon St. With rising construction costs and a complex financing picture, the project will take years to complete. In light of this, the city now plans to build out a temporary pilot space to be completed in a matter of months.

Court ruling ends Boston high school football team’s playoff hopes after clerical error
Earlier in the week it was announced a Massachusetts high school football program would miss the postseason due a clerical error regarding its schedule. Days later, that ruling was upheld despite an injunction filed by Boston Public Schools.

Had it been counted as a forfeit, they would have qualified for the postseason playing as a lower seed. “We are disappointed that our MIAA appeal was denied,” a

New 18-Acre Historic District Could Ease Boston Office-to-Housing Conversions
A proposed 18-acre historic district in Boston’s Financial District is moving toward federal review, but its effect on office-to-housing conversions would depend on more than whether a building falls within its boundaries. The Massachusetts Historical Commission voted to advance the proposed Exchange District to the National Park Service for final review and potential listing on the National Register of Historic Places. If listed, the district could make qualifying rehabilitation projects eligible to seek state and federal historic tax credits.

Inside Boston's Forgotten Subway Tunnel, Rusted Tracks and Cold War Crackers

NBC10 Boston went inside the forgotten passage, part of the historic Tremont Street Subway, and found it frozen in time, down to stacked civil-defense ration cans left over from the Cold War.
