    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    I would love a direct PWM-MIA option. But then I would probably do too much lazing in South Beach each winter.

    General Portland Discussion

    Concord Coach has never been a "mad house" scene in the two decades I have been using it. I have ridden the bus to BOS hundreds of time and I am grateful for their competent service. The daily ridership from CCL in Portland to BOS is well in excess of 300 a day.

    89 Elm Street | Port Properties Bayside Phase 1A | Portland

    Looking at Market Squares portfolio I have little hope that anything but the usual cookie cutter crap to come of this project. MEH.

    General Portland Discussion

    For someone who travels almost weekly I find Concord Coach Lines to be critical in getting to where I need to go. PWM is very limited in its connection options and until that changes CCL will continue to be a clean, convenient way to get to Boston to catch flights. I live on Sebago Lake and I...

    USM | Portland

    As a former professional musician, this can be said of many schools of music around the country.

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    When I went through there the other day I noticed the plates of the cars at the museum came from far and wide. Many NY, MA, VT, PA plates.

    USM | Portland

    It's going to take a lot more than completing the new music school for USM to punch above its weight. It is moving in the right direction finally but has a long way to go.

    Ummmm ... next to the children's museum. :unsure:

    Portland, ME - New Construction Continued

    As a landscape designer I have seen much worse. The boulders around the playground are a non-issue. The kids will use these as stepping stones and they will be fine. The slide is a wait and see situation. I would not have designed it that way but the angle of the slide is very shallow and I...

    Maine Medical Center Expansion | Portland

    That totally depends on your providers. I have received nothing short of stellar care from MaineHealth. It has been on par with the care I have received from MassGeneral.

    Portland, ME - The Existing Environment

    It is caused by lime leaching from the mortar. Higher than usual amounts of lime are needed in mortar that is laid in winter and this is the result. It usually continues for a number of years.

    Infill and Small Developments | Portland

    You obviously don't need to commute through Portland at peak times of traffic. Some areas have become ridiculous and it can take more than an hour to cross the city.

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Make the orchard a prominent feature in your presentations and make it an asset instead of a liability. Clearly show seasonal shadow lines. If I recall, shadows would only be cast on the orchard by the building in the winter. Fun fact ... that is a GOOD thing. Winter sunlight can often cause...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    This plan is already outdated and unfeasible. 105 parking spaces and 750 sq. ft. passenger waiting area? What about planning for the future? Oh wait. It's Portland. We don't do that here.

    Maine state flag preference?

    I laughed my ass off listening to the guy who won the design contest going on about his inspiration for the white pine tree. It was a pile of BS. That image is not original to him. I have it in my horticulture graphics library.

    Maine state flag preference?

    Unfortunately this is not a pine tree. It represents a spruce or a fir.

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    There is no wondering. I lived in Billings for 10 years. For tourists, Bozeman and Missoula are closer to the areas that tourists want to visit. Billings is the primary hub for agriculture, energy and healthcare care for the four state area around it. (MT, WY, ND, SD) Billings just completed...
