Massport: Free ride on us and running through Sept. 3, Logan Airport travelers can get a free ride to South Station on the MBTA’s Silver Line. State officials announced yesterday a three-month “On Us” pilot program that aims to relieve traffic congestion and encourage riders to use mass transit. The program will cost Massport about $100,000 per month, but because it reduces the need for airport parking, loss of revenue will be offset by cutting garage staff, a spokesman said. METRO

An artist’s rendering of the proposed lobby.

Suffolk Downs revealed plans yesterday for a $1 billion Caesars-branded casino resort at its historic racetrack in East Boston. Project leaders unveiled architectural renderings of the proposed development, which they have dubbed a “world class resort and casino” that would include a hotel, restaurants, a casino gaming complex, retail shops, a nightclub, a luxury spa, and of course, horse racing. “This facility will add to the appeal of visitation in Boston,” said Gary Loveman, chairman, CEO and president of Caesars Entertainment, and Suffolk Downs gaming management partner for the development. “We’ll bring the 45 million American adults that are already customers of ours around the country and around the world to Boston.” The 200,000-square-foot gaming complex would include up to 5,000 slot machines, 200 table games and a World Series of Poker room. The 163-acre track, which has been running live horses racing for 77 years, is about 10 minutes from downtown Boston and about three miles from Logan Airport. If voters in East Boston and

riod of time the effects on local business can be really dramatic,” Loveman said. When asked what impact the project would have on local traffic, specifically Route. 1A which one member of the media called “a traffic nightmare,” Chip Tuttle, Suffolk Downs CEO, said part of the $1 billion investment would include $40 million for local road and infrastructure improvements. Tuttle said specific details on those improvements will be released soon. While there were several rounds of applause at yesterday’s unveiling, not all residents are on board with the plan.

No Eastie Casino, a grassroots group of neighbors, released a statement yesterday saying it feared the resort would “drastically and negatively change the face of the neighborhood and city” by driving up traffic and crime, detracting from local businesses, and lowering home values. “Over the last several years, East Boston’s low crime rate, affordable housing, and proximity to Boston and the North Shore have made it one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the city,” said Celeste Meyers, a spokeswoman for No Eastie Casino. “A casino is simply not in the vision many residents have for their neighborhood or Boston as a whole.”

Workin’ hard for the money Officials predict the resort will generate $200 million in new tax revenue each year About 2,500 construction jobs and 4,000 resort new jobs are expected Developers say they will spend $150 million annually for goods and services among local and regional businesses

Proposal to protect nondrivers dies

NICOLAUS CZARNECKI/METRO

BU student Olivia Culpo shows oﬀ her crown.

‘I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHERE THIS YEAR IS GOING TO TAKE ME’ Boston University student Olivia Culpo was named the new Miss USA earlier this week after besting 50 other beauty queens in the Las Vegas pageant. The 20-year-old took some time yesterday to talk with Metro about her widely discussed pageant answer and time in Boston. You just ﬁnished your sophomore year at BU and now you’re Miss USA. What does that mean for your future with school? I am still

enrolled in school, so right now I just plan on taking a year off, but I don’t really know where this year is going to take me. I definitely want to finish my college degree, but I’m not sure where yet. I’m thinking I’ll come back to Boston though. Your response of support to the question about including transgender people in the

competition is getting a lot of attention on its own. Are you surprised or did you think it would be that big of a deal?

Well I did know that it was a controversial topic so, yeah, I had an idea. I was just in such shock after I had won that it didn’t exactly register, but as soon as I won everybody kept asking me about my question and saying they were so nervous for me when I was asked such a controversial question. But it wasn’t really too difficult for me to answer. I kind of just stuck to what I believe and that was pretty easy for me. I just kind of spoke from my heart I guess. BU has had a tough year ... including the hazing incidents and hockey players accused of rape and some tragedy with students killed while abroad and another fatally shot. What do you think your win does for BU after all of that?

I hope that it would uplift the spirits because we have had a tough year. Those sort of tragedies are just awful and of course nobody can control them, but that’s kind of how just life happens. It was just really, really awful tragedies that can happen in [parts of] life.

Shortly after Beacon Hill lawmakers essentially killed a bill meant to help protect bicyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, a bike rider was killed and another seriously injured in separate incidents. Rather than vote on vulnerable road users bill, the Joint Committee on Transportation sent the bill to study, which almost always means a bill is done progressing for the legislative session. “We’re definitely dismayed the Legislature didn’t deem it important enough to even debate,” said Pete Stidman, executive director of the Boston Cyclists Union. “We’re not talking about a huge change. It’s something I think that we deemed passable, but we’re going to have to do some homework to find out why the legislators were hesitant to bring it to the floor.” A staffer for the committee’s members said he could not comment by press time. The committee voted to send it to study just before its

Lawyer: City settles lawsuit with man who recorded BPD officers Lawyers for a Dorchester man who was arrested for recording Boston police officers with his cell phone camera said the city has agreed to pay $33,000 to settle the civil rights lawsuit the man filed last year. Boston police said they did not receive any official notification yet, but said at the time the lawsuit was filed last year that officers had since received training and that public and open recording of officers is allowed under state statute. Maury Paulino was 19 when he was arrested in November 2009 for resisting arrest, assault and battery on a police officer

Other case set standard Paulinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, David Milton, also represented Simon Glik. Glik sued the city for arresting him for recording an arrest on the Boston Common in 2007. That case went to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that recording police openly in public was legal. The city settled that lawsuit for $170,000.

and disorderly conduct. He was acquitted last year. Paulino was outside the Roxbury police station after bailing out a friend who exchanged words with the officers. The lawsuit alleged that the officers then used excessive force when arresting Paulino for recording the incident. He alleged the officers punched and kneed him and used pepper spray. "I hope this settlement teaches the police not to arrest people for recording them," Paulino said in a statement. MICHAEL NAUGHTON

In what U.S. officials described as major blow to al Qaeda, the group's second-ranking leader, a militant known as Abu Yahya al-Libi, was killed in a strike by a missile fired from a U.S.-operated drone, an official confirmed yesterday. The official said the Libyanborn Libi, a cleric whose real name was Mohamed Hassan Qaid, was killed in a drone strike early morning Monday, Pakistan time. The dronelaunched missile was targeted at a suspected militant hideout in Hesokhel, a village in North Waziristan, a tribal region in Pakistan along its border with Afghanistan. U.S. officials said that Libi, who had appeared in al Qaeda propaganda videos and once escaped from an a U.S.-operated prison in Afghanistan, was a key figure in what remained

Social not-working?

Survey shows few Facebook users actually click the site’s ads In light of disastrous IPO, new data shed light on flaws of Internet business model Four out of five Facebook users have never bought a product or service as a result of advertising or comments on the social network site, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows, the latest sign that much more needs to be done to turn its 900 million customer base into advertising dollars. The online poll also found that 34 percent of Facebook users surveyed were spending less time on the website than six months ago, whereas only 20 percent were spending more. The findings underscore investors’ worries about Facebook’s moneymaking abilities that have pushed the stock down 29 percent since its initial public offering last month, reducing its market value by $30 billion to roughly $74 billion.

$38B

Facebook competes for online ads with Google, the world’s No. 1 Web search engine, which generated roughly $38 billion in revenue last year. Google’s search ads, which appear alongside the company’s search results, are considered among the most eﬀective means of marketing. While Facebook $3.7B generated $3.7 billion in revenue last year, mostly from ads on its website, sales growth is slowing. REUTERS

About 44 percent of respondents said the market debut, seen by investors as troubled, has made them less favorable toward Facebook, according to the survey. Facebook’s 900 million users make it among the most popular online destinations, challenging entrenched Internet players such as Google and Yahoo. Not everyone is convinced the company has figured out how to translate that popularity into a business that can justify its lofty valuation. Shares of Facebook closed Monday’s regular trading session down 3 percent at $26.90. While the survey did not ask how other forms of advertising affected purchasing behavior, a February study by research firm eMarketer suggested Facebook fared worse than e-mail

or direct-mail marketing in terms of influencing consumers’ decisions. “It shows that Facebook has work to do in terms of making its advertising more effective and more relevant to people,” eMarketer analyst Debra Williamson said. Those concerns were exacerbated last month when General Motors Co., the third-largest advertiser in the United States, said it would stop paid advertising on Facebook. Facebook declined to comment in detail on the survey, but referred to case studies of companies such as Nutella, which found that a 15 percent increase in sales was attributable to Facebook, and restaurant chain Applebee’s, whose Facebook ads delivered a threefold return on investment.

Tweeting under the influence, for real

Checking in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer. Today, Joan Rivers is messing with the wrong lady, Justin Bieber is causing a Twitter frenzy, Joel McHale is on the hunt and Sarah Silverman is having “It” flashbacks. @Joan_Rivers Madonna launched her world tour in Tel Aviv and she looks great...for a woman only 10 years younger than the State of Israel. @justinbieber note to self don’t leave twitter open and unattended! @joelmchale My spirit animal got out again.

Gwyneth Paltrow has spent the

past couple days dealing with the fallout over her now infamous tweet from a Jay-Z and Kanye West concert in France. (Your day doesn’t include petty Twitter arguments? Fascinating. We’ll catch you up: She tweeted a photo of herself dancing onstage with the rappers and a caption that read “N***as in paris for real.”) Most people weren’t buying Paltrow’s initial argument that the caption was a harmless play on a song title from the JayZ/West album “Watch the Throne” and not an N-word violation — probably because she runs a “lifestyle” blog and starred in “Shakespeare in Love.” But now The-Dream has jumped in to defend the actress, claiming that he took the photo from her phone and also sent the offending Tweet. “Fyi Sorry for the Confu I typed Ni**as in paris for real from Gwens Phone my bad I was Fkd up please excuse it! We were lit!” the rapper posted. Now, we’re going to let Twitter and The-Dream sort out who is allowed to say what words and when — real issues

teresting one at that. After splitting in May, the singer and her boyfriend, “Vampire Diaries” star Taylor Kinney, are back together. “They sure looked like they were back together — holding hands and being cute everywhere they went,” a source tells UsMagazine.com. Gaga, you’re better — or at least weirder — than this. Leave the CW ghost werewolves to the “Jersey Shore” Bteam.

Kelly Clarkson will play a mentoring role on the upcoming singing competition “Duets,” and she hopes that she’s learned from the mistakes that “American Idol” made when she was a contestant. “I’m going to be completely honest — I had no one looking out for me. They were looking out for the show, and it was horrible,” she says. “I was 19 years old. I was smart enough to know that it wasn’t about me, but that didn’t make it any easier. I’m all cried out about it, but my first four years, I hated my life; I almost quit a dozen times.”

Today’s cover magic prize goes to the good people over at Vanity Fair who, instead of trying to Photoshop a little will to live into Kristen Stewart’s eyes, just plopped a fluffy Pomeranian on her lap. Inside, Stewart laments losing her privacy after “Twilight.” “You can Google my name and one of the first things that comes up is images of me sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe. It was taken the day the movie came out. I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18,” she says. “The next day it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot. Big deal. But that changed my daily life instantly. I didn’t go out in my underwear anymore.” Oh Kris, we have galleries full of red carpet photos that beg to differ.

Alexander apologizes for cricket comments Former “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander is offering an apology for his comments about cricket, which he called “a gay game” during an interview with Craig Ferguson. “The worst part is, I should know better,” he says. “My daily life is filled with gay men and women, both socially and professionally. I am profoundly aware of the challenges these friends of mine face and I have openly advocated on their behalf.”

Elijah Wood on his TV ‘Uprising’ BECK STARR/FILM MAGIC/GETTY IMAGES

Elijah Wood is jumping feetfirst into the world of animated series television with “Tron: Uprising,” a new show that takes place in the time between 1982’s “Tron” and 2010’s “Tron: Legacy.” Of course, it’s not necessarily new territory for the actor, who’s popped up as a voice in films, TV and video games in the past. “Over the last number of years, I’m no stranger to voice work in animation, so I’m used to it,” Wood says. “But getting a chance to work within the context of a universe I was already familiar with was really fun. It just gave the whole experience a more special quality, I think.” The familiar universe of “Tron: Uprising” also meant more than just the usual voiceover work, though: “The character happens to be extremely physical, so there’s a lot of me standing in front of a microphone, punching and kicking

“I’m always intrigued by new challenges and things that I’ve never done before, and new experiences.”

Elijah Wood lends his voice to the animated series “Tron: Uprising,” premiering tomorrow at 9 p.m. on Disney XD.

ELIJAH WOOD

Speaking of franchises Though he seems to be spending most of his time on TV these days, Elijah Wood has a fairly notable big-screen appearance coming up, reprising his role as Frodo Baggins for a cameo in “The

Hobbit.” Returning to New Zealand — and the character that’s come to define his career — was a thrill, Wood says. “It’s not often that you have such an intense formative life experience, and then, 10 year later, get to revisit that,” he says. “We shot a little bit in Hobbiton, and I realized that I had turned 19 in Hobbiton. I was there 11 years

ago. That’s bonkers! And it hasn’t changed.” Well, mostly it hasn’t changed: “It just got bigger,” he admits. “It’s only two movies this time, but there’s more trailers than we had last time. It feels bigger, but it’s the same atmosphere.” Awesome as becoming Frodo again might have been, Wood does admit that one

the air, and making myself sound like I’m in all sorts of intense physical scenarios, which is pretty hilarious,” Wood says. “I’m sure there’s some footage of me standing there looking like an idiot.” Finding the right voice for his character was easy, as it turns out, since the show’s producers really just wanted Wood. “It was determined right away that it would be my own voice,” he says, though he cautions that with secret identities and hush-hush rebellions on the menu, it’s never that simple. “When the character is Tron, or The Renegade, we do change his voice a little bit,” Wood explains. “Digitally, they mess with his voice, and I also give it a gravity that Beck doesn’t have in his normal Beck mode. The character is split between the two, in a way. Some of those more TronRenegade moments definitely have a depth and a gravity to them, and that’s fun. It’s fun to play around with all of that.” While “Tron: Uprising” and his live-action TV series, “Wilfred,” have kept him busy — not to mention several film projects — Wood is keeping an open mind when it comes to what’s next. “I don’t know that I’m ever looking for anything, in particular,” Wood admits. particular moment didn’t quite live up to his expectations. “Putting on the feet was very surreal. It was a mix of being incredibly surreal and yet totally normal, because I’d done that for four years. ... I actually expected it to be more surreal than it was, but in a way it also just felt like no time had passed and suddenly there I was.”

“I’m always intrigued by new challenges and things that I’ve never done before, and new experiences. It sounds so simple, but the primary interest is just something that’s good and instills within me some kind of gut feeling that I’m passionate and excited about — and there

can be multiple variables that can instill that. But, I’m always just looking to do things that I’ve never done before, primarily.” NED EHRBAR METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES

MaryAnn Camilleri wants to flash forward to a time when photographers of all ages work together. In fact, that’s why she founded the Flash Forward Festival. “Because of the ever changing industry at this point in time, I’m trying to teach Boston how to work together and create something,” says Camilleri. “It is really about being inclusive.” Camilleri is the Flash Forward Festival director and founder of the nonprofit Magenta Foundation. The festival was born out of a desire to network and educate aspiring photographers. Since its beginnings as a competition, which introduced emerging photographers from Canada, the U.K. and the U.S., Torontobased Camilleri and the Magenta Foundation have developed their understanding of and appreciation for the Boston arts community. “I started to get to know the community and asked everyone who I should talk to. I campaigned,” she says. “It was like being the mayor.” The campaigning has paid

The second iteration of the fiveday festival combines industry panels on how to publish, publicize and monetize photography in print, magazine and digital formats with a variety of different exhibitions. Camilleri says a committee of six people internationally came up with what they would like to show people. “The programming is exciting, taking people from different fields,” she says. “When we talk about the [photography] industry, people forget that the art directors are really critical — it’s important to introduce the [art directors] from Vanity Fair and Enroute Magazine in Canada.” CHRIS LEO PALERMINO letters@metro.us

Facebook will disappear by 2020, says analyst When it comes to online companies, you can’t stay on top forever Just as Yahoo! had its heyday in 2000, so will Facebook become a fading star

acebook‘s sliding stock price has one hedge fund manager predicting a dismal decade ahead for the social network. “In five to eight years, they are going to disappear in the way that Yahoo has disappeared,” Ironfire Capital founder Eric Jackson told the CNBC show Squawk on the Street on Monday. “Yahoo is still making money, it’s still profitable, still has 13,000 employees working for it, but it’s 10 percent of the value that it was at the height of 2000,” Jackson added. “For all intents and purposes, it’s disappeared.” So how exactly does Jackson see Facebook’s power eroding by decade’s end? He says it will be the continued emergence of the mobile Web — and Facebook’s struggle to adapt to that paradigm shift. “I think those who are dominant in their prior gen-

In its required initial preIPO disclosure of 35 “risk factors” released February, the company admitted that as mobile use of Facebook continues to expand, its ad-free mobile platform will become more problematic.

Greedy corporations are anti-American RE: “WE MUST PAY RICH OR THEY’LL LEAVE US!”: Corpora-

tions who send American jobs abroad for love of money over country are traitors! They can go bankrupt, for all I care. Once global wages inflate closer to ours (and they’re rapidly doing so!), those same companies will be begging to come back. Screw ‘em! Sleep in the bed you made yourselves. Since when did profit mean more than country?! This is why Republicans are trying to destroy unions. The living wage unions represent should be the norm, not the $4/hour slave wages of China and India. Who could live on that? For this treason, the GOP should go extinct. They’re evil puppets working hard for billionaires

looking to further line their pockets at the expense of the American worker. Is there class warfare today? You bet! But hard-working folks didn’t start it, corporate raiders did. The question now becomes: Will my neighbor stand with me, trying to make a better life for my family? Or will he stand with greedy, profiteering billionaires hell-bent on destroying the way of life for an entire generation in the name of vulture capitalism? I know where Joey Whitmoyer stands.

Gemini May 21-June 20. You should guard against an inclination to be too possessive or too demanding of your loved ones. This type of behavior usually has a tendency to push others away. Cancer June 21-July 22. Neither you nor your mate should make any major decision without first discussing it with the other. If either of you take action independently, it will only cause problems. Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Someone you dislike for no particular reason does not feel the same way about you. Instead of holding fast to this bias, give the person the benefit of the doubt.

The churches themselves are not being held to the new health care law, it is Catholic business that is being held to it. If the Catholic Church wants to do business then it must abide by the same rules as everyone else; if it wants to stick with religion, then it can be exempt, but it must abide by religious dogma and give away its services for free as charity. It can’t have both.

friend of yours who has yet to return something that he or she borrowed will put the bite on you for another loan. Before you accede, establish some strict ground rules. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Striving to make your mark in the world is admirable, but not if it’s done at the expense of others. Know the difference between climbing and clawing your way up to the top. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Be careful about offering any advice to others, even if asked. If what you say is misunderstood or misinterpreted, you could be blamed for the asking party’s failure. Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. There is a negative situation that you’ve had ample opportunity to change but that you haven’t done anything about. Unfortunately, this opens the door for another to walk in and alter it to his or her liking. Aries March 21-April 19. If an alliance that you established in the past didn’t work out, think twice before getting involved once again. Ask: Was it the team or the objective that was at fault? Taurus April 20-May 20. Just because a co-worker isn’t in accord with your way of doing things does not mean you can’t succeed. Don’t allow a disagreement between you to shut the production down.

The never say die C’s

Garnett’s free throws, Pierce’s big 3-pointer sinks Miami again in 94-90 stunner C’s lead series 3-2 GETTY IMAGES

Three things we learned in the Celtics thrilling 94-90 win in Game 5 last night in Miami:

TIME

Brandon Bass gave the Celtics a lift in the ﬁrst half.

Do you suffer from CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN?

Ugly starts The Celtics and Heat played a brutal offensive first half last night as Miami took a 42-40 lead into intermission. Brandon Bass was the Celtics high scorer in the first half, totalling 10 points. Miami’s Big 3 scored 34 of the Heat’s 42 with Chris Bosh posting 9 points in the first.

24-16 lead. Bosh played just 14:23 minutes in the game, but showed that he’s healthy enough to play more in Game 6 and Game 7 (if necessary).

Nobody – NOBODY – thought the Celtics would be one game away from going to the NBA Finals, but sure enough, here they are. It took a double-digit comeback, some clutch shots down the stretch, and ice-in-their-veins free throws to seal the deal in the final seconds. Kevin Garnett finished with a team-high 26 points, Paul Pierce 19 points, and Rajon Rondo 13 assists. Mickael Pietrus was the team’s most potent sixth man in Game 5, finishing with 13 points including two 3-pointers. The Celtics now have Miami’s back against the wall, and hope to punch their ticket to Oklahoma City or San Antonio with a win on Thursday night in Boston. It’s been a wild ride so far, but Tuesday’s win in Miami might have been the

Paul Pierce drained a huge three late in the fourth.

Celtics most impressive win in two years.

THE

BOSH

EFFECT

Chris Bosh didn’t start in Game 5, but he was active and made his presence felt soon after coming off the bench midway through the first quarter. Bosh scored five points in the first, including a nice drive, score, and foul that resulted in a three-point play. Bosh entered the game when it was 13-9 Miami, but by the end of the first quarter Miami had a

After such a bad start for Boston, it would be normal to think the C’s would pack it in and hope to win Game 6 to force a Game 7 – but that hasn’t been the makeup of this Celtics team. Instead, they roared back. Pietrus makes you want to pull out your hair one second, but then he totally redeems himself by hitting a 3pointer the next second. Garnett hit two huge jumpers in the second half, and don’t forget the dunks. And finally, we would be remiss not to mention Pierce’s huge 3-pointer to put the Celtics up by four points with under a minute to go. JIMMY TOSCANO sports@metro.us

Bard sent down, Dice-K in? GETTY IMAGES

Remember back in late April when Daniel Bard was going to be the knight in shining armor as he briefly returned to the Red Sox bullpen? “Now I still view myself as a starter,” Bard said that week. “(Management) said they do too. That’s where they said they want me in the long run. For now, they said they’re trying to address a need for a couple of days and keep me from going 10 days without throwing. I told them I was OK with it for now.” Well, that confusing stretch should seem like the

“good ol’ days” for the 26year-old righty now. Bard was assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday and outfielder Darnell McDonald was activated for Boston. Bard walked six batters in Toronto on Sunday and was extremely wild. He now owns a 5.24 ERA this year in 10 starts. Daisuke Matsuzaka (remember him?) has looked very good in the minors as of late after having Tommy John surgery a year ago. Matsuzaka allowed just one run on two hits over 5.1 innings last

There is a possibility that Dice-K, who is expected to throw three innings Tuesday night for Pawtucket, could take Bard’s place this Saturday at Fenway Park against the Washington Nationals.

Depression is gone, but how is your sex drive?

The Rondo trade rumors don’t die

Boston Clinical Trials is currently seeking participants for a Clinical Research Study evaluating the effects of an investigational medication on sexual functioning in adults with well treated depression.

ESPN writer says a Rondo-Westbrook trade could still be a possibility Thunder-Celtics in NBA Finals?

• Are you currently taking Zoloft, Paxil, or Celexa for depression? • Are you 18 - 55 years old?

GETTY IMAGES

A Thunder-Celtics NBA Finals matchup would offer plenty of intrigue. There’s the obvious Kendrick Perkins angle. Then there’s the fact that Kevin Durant could easily have become a Celtic if the lottery had had a different outcome back in 2007. Prior to Tuesday’s Game 5 in Miami, ESPN writer and analyst Chris Broussard refloated the idea of a Rajon Rondo for Russell Westbrook trade this upcoming summer. Broussard tweeted last November that Celtics boss Danny Ainge proposed a bizarre

Rondo and Jeff Green for Russell Westbrook and Kendrick Perkins trade to Oklahoma City prior to the start of the season. Both Rondo and Westbrook are having fabulous postseasons for their respective squads. Westbrook is a notably better scorer than Rondo, as he averaged 23.6 points per game this season. Still, Rondo’s 44 point game in Game 2 of the Miami series seemed to have put an infinite end to trade rumors ... that is until last night. Russell Westbrook

An amazing loft space up for rent should fit like a comfortable old shoe A former footwear factory, it is the opposite of what you usually think of with the Back Bay

HELL BENT FOR THE LEATHER DISTRICT

The Leather District is the antithesis of Brahmin Back Bay living. It comprises the renovated remnants of Boston’s oncefruitful manufacturing past, namely leatherworking and shoemaking in this part. After the area’s post-Great Depression decline, the L.D. slowly became a place of cheap rents, often in illegal apartments, and bohemia became its lifeblood. “Many of the buildings have been restored and renovated over the past 15 years,” says Chad James Lingle of Artisan Properties, the company handling the rental of two apartments on Beach Street. “This has brought a strong residential component to the area, with luxurious loft-style condominiums now hiding behind the 1880s facades.” One of Lingle’s vacant apartments is a one-bedroom that was renovated in 2004. Lovely maple floors and magnificent industrial-era windows work

with open-plan, movable sliding partitions to create smaller private spaces. Lingle doesn’t expect it to stay vacant long. “There’s lots of demand and very little supply,” he says. “What was once just storage spaces, relatively cheap office units and quasi-permissible loft apartments has transformed itself into a true urban village.” Nightlife has boomed courtesy of District and Splash. Dining includes French stalwart Les Zygomates, nationally lauded sushi haven O-ya and Italian eatery Sorriso. Plus, Chinatown is right down the street. “Things are much quieter over the weekends, and on Sunday the L.D. rests,” says Lingle. “Everyone closes their doors and the denizens of the neighborhood shut down for a day of pause and puritanical reflection. After all ... this is Boston.” LINDA LABAN

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN A HOME INSPECTION

By Attorney George Warshaw

letters@metro.us at home with metro

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in the details: Sabrina Soto teaches us the little things that make or break home decor E

home inspection is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mustâ&#x20AC;? for a person buying a home or a condo, even if (and sometimes especially if) the home or condo is brand new.

Too often home buyers bemoan after the purchase that the broker advised them that an inspection wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed because the home or condo was brand new. Just because a new home or newly renovated home or condo is new doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the work was done right, or the appliances, plumbing or electricals were properly connected and functioning. I love reviewing an inspection report that uses digital photographs with big red circles to pinpoint problems requiring repair. So much of time wasted in a purchase is spent trying to describe what needs to be done or arguing over whether the condition is a problem. A photograph with a nice red circle indicating the problem often ends the discussion and simpliďŹ es getting a quote from a repair person. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my suggestion in interviewing an inspector: ask if the report will contain digital photographs of the problems encountered; or better yet, ask if you can review an existing report online to get a sense of the quality of the inspectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

ven if your design aesthetic currently means your college futon coexists with your great auntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee table, there are ways to pull a room together stylishly. Just ask HGTV star Sabrina Soto, whose new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Design,â&#x20AC;? gives the lowdown on layering to get a roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flavor just right. Here, she walks through the finishing touches that give any space extra pizzazz.

Steal this trick To work around a clunky radiator: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put a floating shelf on top of it and use it as a table. You could get a floating shelf at Ikea or Target for nothing. And I usually like to have it blend in with the wall, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll paint it the exact same color, but you just want to make sure to use high-heat paint.â&#x20AC;?

The right accent pieces

Soto encourages mixing up prints to create a look thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all your own.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think accessorizing can take a room from being OK to absolutely fabulous,â&#x20AC;? Soto says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about making the right decisions when accessorizing. You want pops of color, you want different textures, you want interesting pieces that tell your story, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to overdo it.â&#x20AC;? Her two rules for polishing a room like a pro? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always like to accessorize in odd numbers, and I never like to use things smaller than a grapefruit. I think too many little knickknacks become clutter.â&#x20AC;?

The right lighting Soto says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important aspect of design â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sorry: Overhead bulbs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gonna cut it. She suggests â&#x20AC;&#x153;two, maybe even three, artificial forms of light per room,â&#x20AC;? even in small rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighting really does make or break a room, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sconce, chandelier, recess lighting, even table lamps. You want to have enough light in a room to balance a space.â&#x20AC;? MEREDITH ENGEL

meredith.engel@metro.us

Soto recommends two or three light sources in each room of your home.
