A Redditor recounts an incident at Copley Plaza yesterday:

I was still indoors finishing a text when I herd a ton of shouting so I look up above and see a group of people screaming and pointing towards me! That's when I noticed a young man, possibly mid-20's sprinting towards me and without even thinking I bolted towards him as he ran passed me and yanked the purse out of his hand, he slammed through the revolving door and kept running.

Simon Properties, owners of the mall, want to stick a 47-story structure atop it that would include a four-story "winter garden" and 300 condos (starting at $1 million) according to the Boston Business Journal and the Herald.

The Journal notes:

No additional parking is called for by Simon in the plan, which noted the proximity of nearby public transit stations.

When plans for the project first surfaced in 2006, the Herald quoted sources as saying Simon was looking at a 20- to 30-story building.
