Yes, that is disturbing. The Portland area is going to see continued growth and it will be above projections. In 10 years the Jetport will be a congested mess if not addressed. I would bite the bullet and accept this truth and build a massive garage, something on the scale or even larger than...

They had me for a second (in my Instagram feed), but then I realized what day it is.

Elvis and his private jet at the Jetport. Did not know that. I've heard that a few celebrities or notable personalities have been flying in and out privately to the MAC Jets ramp. Former Bulls and Lakers coach Phil Jackson does. Anyone else fun coming into the Jetport?

I'd like to see Linda Bean's space replaced by the Bissell Brothers. Not only do they have some of the most tasty and interesting brews--and know how to design a space that is unique and fun--but they have a full-time chef and food operation going on now. In the old Cellardoor Winery space next...

Nice to see something a bit more interesting than taxidermy when you're headed to get your luggage. Or is this new display on the ground level behind the down escalator? https://www.pressherald.com/2024/03/26/travelers-at-maines-biggest-airport-can-visit-the-moon-or-at-least-a-chunk-of-it/

Those balcony views will be epic for the sunrise views of the harbor and islands, but I'll take the views from the upcoming Redfern 165 Wash. Ave building looking out at the sunset and skyline and Bayside sprawl (and 295) if it's with my money. Mimosas and sunrises are still a good thing, but...

This entire intersection area is an unfocused mess. The museum with its stalled expansion plans, the plaza in front with its black tar surface though the rusty surface giant "7" now seems apropos, Congress Square Park with its planned makeover (though it is de facto working well as is), and the...

Yes, interesting. I edited a book for a pilot who used to fly 747's and 777's and he told me a story of another pilot (though probably him) who did exactly that, turned a corner on a narrow taxi way and one set of wheels rolled into some soft mud. The plane had to be emptied and towed back to...

Perhaps it will need to be graduated in height. I can't see them wanting to block the sunset views of their other development behind.

Maybe a shorter and wider version of this... BIG Tetrahedron Building (NYC)

With 142 Free Street remaining, the proposed design will have to be radically changed. I would not let a mediocre arch firm with *no experience with this kind of reimagining* take a swipe at the museum's now more complicated addition. It's a veritable roll of the dice. Someone with a head and...

It would be money well spent as the current firm is not capable of creating a proper solution. As we all know, sometimes in business you have to accept a loss in order to move past it. If not, this will continue to be a quagmire and headache for all of us. Egos must be put aside.

Agreed. The only thing he has to do is to dig deep inside his noggin to find some intelligence to hire this firm.... (A contest between a few mediocre firms is not a smart solution.) https://www.jtcampo.com/projecthist-jw-marriott-savannah-plant-riverside-district-power-plant-hotel There was...

Sorry, I didn't intend to disparage the school with all of its sports--they have done well with hockey and baseball--but realistically, it's not going to be prominent in the future with basketball AND soccer. Boston is too big of a draw for future players and others to ignore. If a covered...

And, when Cooper Flagg starts playing at Duke, Boston (BC) will be less of a drive away to see him play than if he came to Orono (not happening, ever). He might become one of the top 5 players in the country and he's from Maine. No player of his stature is going up to Orono. A few years back...

That was not my argument. You can see UMO basketball and hockey play at UNH was one (an hour's drive away), and the other, that Portland residents are closer to a much higher level of collegiate sports in Boston than they are in Maine, and that's unfortunate, or wrong. I'm not driving up to...

Do many fans in Portland drive up to Orono? It's a shorter drive to see Boston College hockey and basketball. The latter of which is a level or two above UMO. But you can see them play UNH when they do, an hour away.

$170 million for UMO sports. Is anyone from Portland driving up there to watch college sports? It's sad or unfortunate that the Portland area does not have college sports at a higher level. Why can't soccer at USM be upgraded (recruited) for men and women to use the new soccer stadium, though as...

Perhaps this massing will be scaled back a bit, or in the near future. https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2024-02-23/eimskip-revenues-declined-by-nearly-a-third-last-year **
