Imagine a five-story luxury-car dealership built entirely out of giant gray Lego blocks

The Dorchester Reporter has the scoop on car dealer Herb Chambers's new plans for the old Channel 56 lot on Morrissey Boulevard next to where we will eventually say the Globe used to be.

Being stuck on a packed red line train with no AC with a view of a parking lot filled with luxury cars will lead to a red line revolt.

It makes a great deal of sense for Herb to set up a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership somewhere closer to Boston than the current location (Sudbury). However, I'm not convinced that Dorchester is the best location. Now if only they'd move an outpost of their luxury brands (Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce) closer to town!

Oh well, it will make it easier for me to go and have a looky loo.

That can't be very common. Would they need a huge elevator, like the one at the Children's Museum (originally built to carry the Museum of Transportation's antique cars)?

The buildings on Memorial Drive - near Western I think? were a Ford Manufacturing plant. 640 Memorial Drive, I believe.
