Nice photos Corey. Every time I drive by the Intermed Building on Marginal Way and see the white window shades so randomly (some up, some down, some half way, some 1/4 way, etc.) all over the place it irritates me. I think it looks terrible and there must have been a better option that that.

I am guessing that the developer will eventually get fed up with the b.s. and walk away from the project. I hope I am wrong.

They are getting that area ready for the annual Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Tour. 7 Tour locations in the U.S. for 2014. Chico CA, San Diego, Denver, Chicago, Portland ME, Philadelphia & Mills River NC. The date for Portland is Friday, August 1st from 5 to 10 pm. Tickets are $65.

I had the same impression with the top suites. Why bother if you are going to have that much of an obstruction. Some viewing points from the top suite are fine (towards the outside edge of the suite). Overall, I was fairly impressed with what they did with the Civic Center. The mid level...

I plan on going. Looking forward to seeing the improvements.

They eliminated it. The architectural plans show a balcony with a pair of doors going out onto it. The only thing I could imagine was 2 dozen + smokers out there during intermission and a drunk patron falling over the railing onto the street below. The balcony wasn't a good idea to begin with.

I asked a former Editor at the Press Herald the question as to why I get the news about the Portland area much sooner and more in depth from the Bangor Daily. He said it's simple their news department/reporters are much better and work harder than the Press Herald's. Time after time I read...

Per the Bangor Daily News article (which is more in depth than the Press Herald article) the vote won't take place until the boards next meeting on January 14. Also, the Press Herald said the vote won't take place until next month. Federated must be getting very frustrated with this never...

Yeh, 6 homes games and 6 away plus playoffs. Starting in September and ending in December. An AhL team could easily work around that schedule. Indoor (Box) Lacrosse is very fast and physical.

According to the U.S Lacrosse League the first franchise in league history has been signed and will be playing it's games at the Cumberland County Civic Center starting in the Fall of 2014. The name of the team is the Maine Moose Trax. www.theusll.com Obviously this isn't good news for the...

I couldn't agree more. Those braces were just awful to look at and didn't exactly make you feel secure. At least now they blend in with the rest of the structure.

The locker room portion of the Civic Center renovation is on hold. From what I am told the Pirates were going to pay for a significant portion of that part of the project and until the Pirates and the Civic Center agree to terms (if it ever happens) that part of the project will remain on hold...

A very nice project in the works for Portsmouth called 233 Vaughan Street. It can be viewed at cjarchitects.net

In a recent article on the Maine Hockey Journal website Petrovek stated that he wants to remain in the Portland market and ideally it would be to return to the Cumberland County Civic Center. He also said that he is looking at several other options to remain in the Portland market which are...

Well, last year Petrovek said that 40 games was too much for the Portland market and that they would play 6 to 8 games per year in Lewiston. Maybe with the renovation, extra income and whatever agreement they come to with with the Civic Center all games will be in Portland.

After reading this mornings article in the Press Herald "Hockey group with link to Pirates looks at Saco for arena" it seems pretty clear to me that option #1 is to return to Portland and the Civic Center. I think the 2 sides will eventually work things out and the Pirates will be back at the...

As you can read in the article, it is the City of Saco that is being proactive and contacting the Pirates about the available land. The Pirates already have their training facility (MHG Arena) in that area and an established relationship with the City of Saco.

Today's Bangor Daily News www.bangordailynews.com "Pirates hockey team enters into talks to buy Saco property for new permanent home arena".

Unless the Pirates move the team out of the territory which is a 50 miles radius from Portland I don't see another AHL hockey team coming to town anytime soon. I could see the Pirates building a 5,000 seat arena in Saco which is where their practice/training facility is. That has been...
