And it's probably no roof deck sun tanning or parties up there. 2-3 young women (or men) lying out in their bathing suits relishing the attention will create a firestorm in social media and eventually appearing in the PPH.

And if "The Casco" sign had only been larger...

Well, Dave finally got this shot of the new downtown skyline this fall and with the snow capped White Mountains in the background.

But then again, that depiction is from the developer. Hope he (or she) is keeping it honest.

I like to stay at citizenM when I'm in Boston (unless work comps me at Raffles, duh) or at Aloft in other cities. And so now, today, searching off season for next weekend the Aloft's rooms in the Seaport are all over $500 per night! I work and stay sometimes in Austin too, and they have six...

I realize that this article link is from the Daily Mail, but does Burlington now still fall into second place? I believe that Portland is still number one, or with a city that has more to offer from all the angles figured in. I'd even put Portland at number 2 for all of New England. Hartford...

Yes, wondered about that project. I think it will chop a little of the view for the park gazers with Bayside around Marginal Way, but not too much. And it looks like the views for the occupants of the units will be more to the southeast, or downtown, so not much of a sunset one for them.

At their marina, I've noticed (www.marinetraffic.com) significantly less yacht visits this summer than the previous two or three. Perhaps the fees for mooring, etc. were higher this year. However, it was more cruise ship visits next door, or total passengers and crew this summer and fall (and in...

Here's a related story link below and it mentions the upcoming soccer team. Also, the more serious of fans in the Boston area will come up to Portland to see the up-and-coming players on the Seadogs, and now Maine Celtics. Why would this not happen with soccer? And, after the game you've got the...

It reminds me of the 4 story condo building near the fire station on Munjoy Hill. So many got angry at that proposed new build and then after it was built, I think people realized it was far better than all that old junk housing around it, then softened up a bit. If you take away all the older...

Here's more... A "pergola" on the roof.

Maybe it's because they don't have a well thought-out rescue plan, and what if there are traces of "forever chemicals"? I don't know the process for extracting the raw materials to make cement, but I do know that with oil shale it takes high pressure water and chemicals to get it out of the...

Nice find. The point here is that we want more than just a big pit with weird water in it.

And now that we are on a kind of roll with Rock Row, look at this: In Shanghai, China there is an Intercontinental Hotel set down into a rock quarry that doesn't look much different than the one at Rock Row (the quarry, not the hotel). It dips down a bit underneath for viewing under the water...

This is actually now looking quite substantial and impressive. The Dempsey Center will be here. Our own Hollywood celebrity back in town only now with a building. They can put his headshot in the lobby.

So it looks like the capacity of Fitzpatrick hasn't changed much since the 1930s. The teams that played there and still do are all local draws. With a population reach now of nearly 5 million (up to a 1.5 hour drive by car), events or sports that can attract fans or customers from out-of-state...

USM Portland needs an Alfond angel like UMO. It is basically about the educational offerings and explosive tech growth in Boston, and the relative ease of getting there from Brunswick to Wells (the train). My ex-girlfriend is from Beijing (arch degree from USC) and she says parents there want...

That all seems logical. Then I guess it's time to abandon USM Portland for these ideas and focus on Roux and UNE in Biddeford for university level Southern Maine tech offerings. That or Boston. Boston is easier to get to than Bangor, and with far more employment offerings and internships too...

Portland is a de facto suburb of Boston now. Maine's population is about 1.4 million (the vast majority in the south), and N.H. is also that with about 7,000 residents more than Maine. That's nearly 3 million people, and not including the Boston area. So, it is an easy drive to Portland for...

Boston has a somewhat problematic office vacancy rate yet new towers are still being built. Two recent 50 story plus office towers include luxury condos, and State Street Bank just finished a 46 story office tower near TD Garden. And then there is the Seaport District where Amazon recently built...
