    Gigantic plans for Westbrook

    A pipe dream! It makes no sense. Why do we need another mega cinema and another indoor sports facility? Indoor Sports facilities and indoor ice rinks are not big money makers. Like most large projects in the greater Portland area, it will likely never happen. How about a new 9,000 seat arena...

    Eastern Waterfront

    Actually, yesterday we received a full set of architectural drawings for Watermark. It has changed from the renderings shown on Architectural Team's website. It's still a fairly substantial and aesthetically pleasing project.

    Eastern Waterfront

    I suspect he (JC) will sell the property. He's just biding his time. My guess is that Waterview will never happen, at least not by JC. Those renderings look pretty much the same as what I saw on Channel 8 News last week. I assumed they were the up to date drawings.

    The school has to be approved by the voters which is very doubtful. I think the price tag was around $30 million wasn't it? Question about Whole Foods (Great Grocery Store).

    Intermed - as it develops (now officially a high-rise)

    WHY is the Waterview sign still up? Does anyone, including Allied/Cook Const. & CWS Architects (whose names are on the sign) think this project will ever happen?
