They had typical start-up offices for Boston.com in the Four Point Channel area - another growth area in real estate - but not sure if they leased or owned. But as much as they have great assets, they never had relationships with their users. Namely, I never paid a dime to the Globe from when they went live in the 90's until I left the area for any Boston.com content - main content or premium. Geodomainers should take this to heart if they want to get beyond PPC and banner ads. mp/m The Globe’s HQ is in the Dorchester Bay area of the city, which has seen growth in the last few years.

At least that way you have something if the business doesn't work out. I remember when Excite.com went out of business and Moniker auctioned off their assets, the domains were there only assets worth anything.
