My bags taking over 40 minutes to get from the plane to my hands the other night is a bigger embarrassment. I hope whatever upgrades they plan to the baggage claim help them process bags faster with the one or two people they have on hand to handle baggage for evening and night arrivals.

They’d probably have even more money to spend if they didn’t heat that building to 95 degrees. My god it was unbearably hot in the terminal today.

Don't forget about the winds that tall buildings create. That was Keep Portland Livable's rally cry.

Shocked, I tell you...shocked! 😂

I wonder how much NIMBY opposition Redfern will get from residents of Munjoy Heights, which Redfern built? If they still control that somehow, they should shut the water off for anyone that complains about this project. 😂

I think Sanford has issues related to image and perception. They need to first solve for that. We were in Sanford on the outskirts of town for a soccer tournament this past fall. We stopped into downtown for a team lunch one of the days, and driving in, it felt and looked old, tired, run-down...

They've been taking off on that runway, too. FedEx's 9:15am 757 to Memphis went over my house in Westbrook at a maybe 2000 feet. Shook the whole house.

A big part of that was securing a significant brownfields grant, and that was not easy. It came down to the wire after construction had already commenced. Thompson's Point was once an industrial wasteland. Fitzpatrick, not so much; it was a wetland. I'm not saying that funding cannot be found...

Unless the City foots the bill for some of it or Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney decide they want to buy another team on this side of the pond, I doubt the ownership group of this team has the readily available capital to make drastic improvements out of the gate. No bank is going to lend a...

The post NR2Portland is referring to: Looks like it's one flight a week at this point, Saturday at 3:45pm, and only in March. Must be testing the waters. Hopefully they quickly expand it, because we're flying Southwest to Orlando via BWI in April, and I'd love for at least one of those legs...

Anyone else just catch this? They came almost right over my house at low altitude, which prompted me to go check FlightRadar24 to see what's up. Guessing they came in too hot or caught a crosswind on the first pass and had to go around for a 2nd pass. Edit to Add: This little guy showed up on...

It has too much of a suburban shopping mall feel (think Settlers Green in North Conway) than what people are probably looking for when they go for a shopping excursion in Freeport. I think tourists, to an extent, like the idea of shopping in an outlet that used to be a home or a bank, probably...

Smart move by Kittery. Brick & motor retail will never come back to what it once was, and this will bring in more local traffic to help support the remaining retail in the area.

If it were me, I'd probably head north. 101 is one of my least favorite stretches of highway in New England.

I'm not big into selfies, but I have never once in my life thought "Hey, let's get a selfie with a random rock in the background instead of the ocean."
