The top floor will be interesting, or when lit at night. It's an entire floor designed as a running track, so all of it should be evenly lit. When looking at it with a more level perspective from another building, it will be runners making loops. Inspiration, perhaps.

I think that the Democratic idea is an unspoken one, to offset this population loss with the new immigration numbers. They are not counted in the census. I've read and seen evidence firsthand that in LA County and Orange county, it's nearly 3 million people not counted in the census, unless...

Thanks for the technical perspective. It sounds like a potential $100 million dollar project if better functionality, parking, and future growth are factored in. And it should be. It's why the existing station, though not perfect because of the train back-up issue, is good as is. Thompson's...

Call it an extended stay hotel with 30-day option guaranteed renewals focused on Roux students. Jim Brady did that with the Weldon. That's no hotel--in name only, really.

Well, there is the Bissell beer garden. That helps.

Sorry, it's de facto $270 if you want to reserve a ticket for that game.

I wanted to take some friends to the May 31st Hearts of Pine game at Fitzpatrick, but tickets are $270 each! I'm not paying over $1,200 (with fees) to sit in Fitzpatrick Stadium in a seat with a makeshift back. There are only 5,500 seats planned for the summer matches, and soon all 5,500 will be...

You will not hear it admitted, but I'll bet many with owned property on the peninsula carry an inner smile when they hear of large housing project proposals being cancelled. Their property values keep going up and up and up. I recently read that (sorry, forgot where) Portland's luxury housing...

The Downeaster line between Boston and Brunswick falls into (or can) a kind of commuter/tourism/suburb train. And with Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics games it's no different a function than the D Line in Boston bringing in hundreds of fans for the game from the western locale suburbs (can take an...

Here's a link to the NNEPRA contact page... https://www.nnepra.com/contact/ I sent them my thoughts along with a link to our Arch page. You know, to get a bigger picture. Perhaps they can join our blog and contribute too (Lol). I think we should ALL send a note. This could be the single dumbest...

Agree 110%. As I indicated earlier, it will look like the Old Saybrook station in CT, though at least that station has some surrounding food businesses. The population of Old Saybrook is 10,481 so with the new Portland station it will result as less-than of the Old Saybrook one! This kind of...

I believe that Jim Brady has started demo work on the Fidelty building hotel project next door. I don't see Time & Temp as a hotel because next door Brady will render his into the best hotel in Portland. On the first floor there is a massive sized vault of which he's making into a bar. We don't...

I like the wood floors... looks cozy in here. A better design idea for those dealing with cancer. And it's all free. Good job, McDreamy.

And so that's why it's a somewhat failed space for shows and will continue to be. Haven't you noticed nearly everyone today is overweight? Most want to continually eat and drink to medicate their sorrows away. Okay then, so make money from it.

People waiting around during the day with nothing to do confronted by convenient and fun food trucks results in... I'd put a big tent in the parking lot with seating too. Bissell could shuttle food and brews over. Make traveling/waiting around fun again.
