Talk:U.S. Route 1 in Massachusetts

Merge proposal

Northeast Expressway (Boston) is entirely part of US 1. Dough4872 04:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

• Weak Support. Though all of the current Northeast Expressway is Route 1, the canceled part was to carry Interstate 95 through Lynn and Saugus towards Peabody. Grk1011 (talk) 13:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support. I'm not quite sure the Northeast Expressway article is even written correctly, (what's with the section title?), with the one section being a mix-up of the route description, history, and future sections. US 1 can cover the expressway. --PCB 23:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support. The failed extension can be covered as part of US 1's history. – TMF 10:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

The issue is that the extension was for Interstate 95, not Route 1. Grk1011 (talk) 15:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

IMO, it doesn't matter what it was for. A failed extension really only warrants a sentence or two, and there's no harm in placing said sentences in US 1 even if they're not 100% relevant to that route. – TMF 00:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose This is a rather short article, but I'm sure it can be improved greatly if someone writes a bit more information on it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I actually did that the other day, but it can still be vastly improved. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:00, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Support merging this article would imrpove it by consolidating relevant information.P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 21:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

The Ship Mall

The ship may be demolished but it was replaced by a complex which pays homage to one of the most significant landmarks on Route 1, no reason to delete this sourced edit and it is a surviving legacy of this ship that can be seen and visited today even though the original is gone in the context of disappearing landmarks. In another article the owners say the planned to use a mast a eagle from the ship in the new project Bachcell (talk) 20:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

https://www.boston.com/news/restaurants/2017/08/29/route-1s-iconic-ship-restaurant-has-been-demolished/ The new development will include aspects of the restaurant, including its mast and eagle,

It was replaced by The Ship Mall which incorporates a mast and displays the original eagle crest on the side of the building — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bachcell (talk • contribs) 20:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Honestly it's a pretty lame tribute to what used to be there and is a run of the mill modern strip mall. It feels rather undue for an article that's about the highway that passes the site. Grk1011 (talk) 21:44, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. The various edits were getting afield of what a highway article should contain. Imzadi 1979 → 03:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
