Braniff Airlines... Back when the flight attendants were more fun and everyone got a proper meal.

Which brings me to mention the "elephant in the room" next door to this development--cemeteries. At what point will they be scaled back instead of continual expansion? And why does someone who died over 200 years ago get a piece of real estate for eternity? What kind of life did they lead? Are...

And, unrelated though maybe not, Brunswick has a relatively easy lengthening for one of its 8,000 footers to reach up to 15,000 for when Elon Musk builds his "Super Duper Mars Lander" aircraft that can take off and land like a plane with over 100 passengers on board. Hey, you know it's coming...

Stunning views from their primary floor; the city, the harbor, the islands, the boats... The best in the entire city, I'm guessing (360 degrees). https://www.mainebiz.biz/article/flexibility-client-connections-are-common-themes-in-law-office-build-outs

Good points. However, even though it was many moons ago, I accumulated 17 hours in Piper at the Jetport. It was a lot of touch and gos on 18/36, but a few on slooooooow days with 11/29. I got a feel for it. Yes, LGA is 7,002 and they seem to have relatively no problems, but I've actually been in...

The ebb and flow of the restaurant industry.

This is what Portland needs. It's tall, slim, and primarily glass, so feels a bit modern (and fun). It's going up now in Boston's Chinatown. https://www.wbur.org/news/2024/09/24/st-francis-house-boston-homeless-affordable-housing

RE: Scarborough's new town center. I've noticed that in cities with new developments like this many will have a large section of cushioned artificial grass. It's easier upkeep and feels and even looks better. Parents like it because the kids will run around on it to expel some energy. It looks...

The little sign that almost could.

It would be nice to see Corey and his camera all over this when it opens. The arch firm is noted (international).

Houston has two airports. The other one (Hobby) is all for Southwest. It's an hour's drive south from IAH. Interesting article in NY Times yesterday about the guy who created the skiplagging app. I will have to try this Portland/Houston/LA?

This is incredible! Boston.com with nearly 500K followers is admitting that Portland, Maine is the most livable city in the U.S. I think I'll stop complaining (maybe). It's not about the source (RentCafe) in this argument, it's that Boston.com would post it. Wow, wow, wow.

Dallas? I sometimes fly direct to Logan from Dallas on my way up to Portland. Now if they can only do one or some from Austin, I'm in heaven (much of my work will begin to emanate from Austin starting early next year).

Maine Savings Amphitheater appears to be a well thought out and well run outdoor concert facility at I think 16,000 capacity?👏 Below is Portland's, at a 5,000 capacity in which people sit on spotty grass or dirt. And one that draws with a one hour or less drive to about one million people--two...

Meanwhile, down there at Havaad... (science and lab related across the river in Allston)

They need to step up the donation game for Southern Maine higher education.

Portland approved 1,300 new housing units in 2023, and in 2024 we are at 439 (today's PPH on hotel development). Perhaps some hi-rises can be built now that the ReCode was passed last night. If it looks like a duck...

222 St. John Street? For what? Another La Quinta Inn? This is still a relatively dead part of town, and even with the new passenger rail platform, not much better. What happened to their tall hotel/condo proposal behind Key Bank? They've done some interesting modern design, including the Hyatt...

Well, that will be a tough one for the souls in the dead of winter coming back from Florida in their shorts.

The Daily Mail primarily reposts content but will embellish with sensationalistic captions. A while back in Saco, when two teens were brutally murdered by their landlord over a parking dispute in Biddeford (I could see the driveway with yellow tape around it with binoculars from my mom's house...
