I like the idea a Maine craft beer tasting room. Maybe one that includes multiple local breweries in one space. Most breweries are off the peninsula or at least not that close to the Old Port, so that could be a huge hit downtown.

Again, I think you're projecting a little bit of bias here. Based on my comment on the prior page and your responses, you probably think of me as some sort of fat, lazy, car-dependent person that circles for the closest parking spot at the grocery store. Far from it. When we moved back to Maine...

Occasionally when I need to go to Boston for work but the Downeaster schedule doesn't work for me, I'll drive to Wellington Station in Medford, where there is ample parking, and take the Orange Line into town.

There's a balance to be had. I never said the station needs 1000 parking spaces, but it can't have 0. I never said that everyone drives to the station, just that some do. From your perspective, an active bike user and strong advocate for bicycle use and non-vehicular transit in Portland, you...

If they do build the West Falmouth station, then I'm more likely to use that than PTC. But, that station isn't convenient for those in suburbs like Gorham, Standish, Windham, etc. (or even parts of Westbrook for that matter). I'd love for there to be some sort of light rail connecting Westbrook...

With all due respect to those that love to ride their bikes and those that live in walking distances - I rode the Downeaster to Boston fairly regularly before the pandemic. I suspect that will start to happen again as more and more folks head back to the office. I also live in Westbrook. My fat...

Ask and thy shall receive. It appears that Google Maps satellite image has been updated to reflect the state of the area this past summer (at least it has in Chrome).

Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea?

Turns out, the Restaurant Class 3 conditional use is for the Smuttynose beer garden that was proposed last year and approved by the Planning Board. The State had a problem with it being classified Restaurant Class 2.

People tend to have a strong emotional reaction to hyperbole.

A few quick shots from this morning. The crane is in place, and they're beginning to assemble the parking garage (all pre-cast/pre-fab). This is obviously the least flattering angle of the project and Vertical Harvest structure, since the garage will abut this east side. I'll try to get some...

This needs to be a mural on the wall in the new entrance to the PMA :love:

Perhaps its needed for the proposed beer hall?

You can find far worse just as close to some of the finest hotels in Boston and NYC.

The loose, dangling wires taped to the side of the pole is a work of art

This might be my favorite post of all time on this board 🤣 (y)

Quick snowy cell phone pic while in the Old Port this morning

Yeah, I scaled it down to fit the property. This was more conceptual than anything.
