Tweets and opinions regarding Fort Point, Boston. Lover of all things creative, worldly and aspirational. Otherwise bristly.

Lead planner of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers COB CSRM Project Team assured me today that all comment letters on USACE's Feasibility Study will be published.

Hat's off to the City's climate team for its groundbreaking collab w/USACE.

@FortPointer I knew Shane when he worked for Baker's office. He is really awesome at his job.

I have a deep personal appreciation for municipal employees, and really love the fact that BMRB’s Shattuck Awards honors a few each year.

Here’s the 2026 list of awardees. 🙏🏼

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

Shane Pac, @BOSCityCouncil Director of Policy and Research, was a Shattuck Award recipient this evening. So well-deserved. 🔥💯🙏🏼

On the topic of dark money nonprofits with undisclosed backers, media darling Greg Maynard of the 501c4 boiler room formerly known as “Boston Policy Institute” has joined the 501c4 Pioneer Institute. https://t.co/sIF5z0pg5c

Interior of USPS Dot Ave is under construction, but when it comes to holiday decorations, USPS employees never disappoint. And I mean “never.” ❤️

@Tweetorelli “This town” hits the nail on the head. It’s all so laughingly parochial.

More from the guy who, just yesterday, fabricated a story about Bromfield St. from whole cloth, smearing Wu and Healey, and who the Globe lends its imprimatur to week after week, featured without full disclosure as to who pays his bills (reportedly GOP sugar daddy Rick Green).

@timothymsylvia @JeffSez90 @SuperSam_WiSe @imlesliestewart @pauldiegocraney Come on, Tim, give it up. You’re probably an ok guy. You just let Craney exploit the fact that you had an axe to grind.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

@timothymsylvia @JeffSez90 @SuperSam_WiSe @imlesliestewart @pauldiegocraney No knows or cares what you’re going on about now. The OP targets a low-information audience and you took the bait. That’s another indisputable fact.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

@JeffSez90 @timothymsylvia @SuperSam_WiSe @imlesliestewart @pauldiegocraney The dude is so lost in his ideological beliefs he has no interest in facts.

And FTR, here's the development plan for 11-21 Bromfield St, with an LOI filed in June. Craney somehow wasn't aware of the history of this block. https://t.co/RyRcCzQQ7u

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

While media darling Paul Craney continues to promulgate falsehoods without accountability, the Globe fails to inform readers that Craney is ED of a 501(c)4 "dark money" nonprofit funded by undisclosed backers. A boiler room operation.

The symbiotic relationship is disgusting.

What an outright liar. This block of Bromfield St hasn’t “thrived” in decades. The last holdout in this video clip, City Sports, closed over a decade ago.

[Paul Diego Craney @pauldiegocraney]

Not that long ago, this street in Boston was full of thriving businesses. New Mayor and City Council, new Boston.

[Lydia Polaski @SouthBostonONS]

This Friday, see you at Caffe Nero, Fort Point @ 10am ☕️ always look forward to connecting!

@timothymsylvia @imlesliestewart @pauldiegocraney Empty shell? Boston hosted more visitors this summer than Providence did in the last 10 years.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

@WDWVacationer @pauldiegocraney Original poster is the ED of a 501c4 dark money nonprofit funded by undisclosed backers. Doesn’t give a damn about truth.

@JulietCJP Loved Silvertone too

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

@imlesliestewart @pauldiegocraney The street was absolutely slammed by Covid. I really liked Shed’s, the BBQ joint. They had a great brisket chile. Marliave was also shuttered in the spring of 2021.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

@JulietCJP It was sold around 2021 and closed a few years ago.

I liked Shed’s BBQ, slammed shut by Covid.

Agree about Bromfield. A lovely street with great potential.
