Agreed that the mall currently has a decent line up of stores and the vacancy rates are better then a lot of other malls. Also with the out-parcels under a variety of ownership it makes coordination more difficult as Sears did that with a lot of stores as its better to own the real estate. Glad...

Going to the Deep South! Dothan, Alabama

Camp Lejeune Jacksonville, NC!

I had the chance to visit this new development after being back in the region for the first time in a few years. I hold out hope, but realize it may take some years to fully develop. The retail looked fine and brings some new chains to the region, but underwhelming. It seems these mixed-use...

I think Portlander's fine example of the former Amoskeag Bank building in Manchester is the most likely possibility. I'd say more workforce housing with smaller units would certainly be supported. I hadn't given much thought to the demolition of the building, do we think that would get any...

This stretch of Route 1 in Falmouth would hardly constitute being a typical 'Edge City', but it seems to be at least how Maine does it and perhaps in it's infancy. Close proximity to a larger city, good highway access, and affluent suburban location. I thought the current multi-story buildings...

The U.P.! Escanaba, MI

Big Spring, Texas Good one. This took some serious internet sleuthing!

Pony. Pony Express. Locking in on St Joseph, Missouri

I've missed this thread! Rail through the city center (maybe coal cars), population peak in the 50's with steady decline, in the southeast w/ smaller mountains nearby, and hilly so you build up due to density and lack of flat ground. I did have to look up current West Virginia city populations...

Glad to hear Breeze is having success and they are trying new routes. Norfolk, Pittsburgh and Islip were always planned to be seasonal and we'll see if they last more than one season. I am not certain of the Jetport's air service incentive package to airlines for new service, but PWM is...

As Boston is New England's downtown and commerce center, Portland is Maine's downtown and commerce center. Boston embraces it and shows its influence outside of New England. Many in Portland just want it to remain a small city by the sea and the interior of Maine doesn't want to acknowledge the...

The homeless issue seems to be like a snowball rolling downhill as I tend to see more and more stories on the issue and I'd worry encampments will grow as the weather warms. I hope the city is taking this issue seriously and is looking to see how other cities have addressed this issue as it is...

New airline and destination announcements are always a positive. For a city of its size Portland does well on the air service side. PWM definitely benefited from new service as a leisure destination during Covid. That seems to be settling down and getting back to more of the hub-spoke system...

Have the plans for the arena completely dried up? I would like to see the Celtics/Red Claws stick around. I wonder when the Celtics' parent club bought the Red Claws if their longer term goal was to relocate the team closer to, or in, Boston like other NBA teams have done. Perhaps after the...

Greetings. Long time reader, first post. I've enjoyed seeing the new projects and progress take shape through visits back home and posted photos, but am also curious on the city's plan for the tents and homelessness. I'm not sure the extent of various encampments around the city as the weather...

I'm going with Evansville, Indiana. Final answer.

Got to go with Lancaster, PA...

That would have to be Yakima, Washington with its SunDome!
