    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    You just missed #93 which is my hometown airport BZN Bozeman-Yellowstone at 1.23M emplanements. 20% the population of the Portland area but a hugely popular tourist area due to its proximity to Yellowstone and ski resorts. BZN has been under constant construction for 15 years and is currently...

    The Casco | 201 Federal Street | Portland

    As someone who has been a landscape design professional for 40 years I can tell you that you couldn't be more wrong with your assertions.

    The Casco | 201 Federal Street | Portland

    Unfortunately this is not a park. It is a plaza. I would have liked to have seen much more greenery and much less hardscape.

    Westbrook, ME

    I lived on the river next to this site for many years and the water even at it's highest never caused any damage.

    Infill and Small Developments | Portland

    I know it's early but this looks like cheap public housing or university housing for families. Again, zero design effort.

    Did I say "everybody that I know has a car"? NO

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    There are just not enough interesting aircraft in and out of Portland to justify anything like this. The cars that occupy the current viewing lot often sit there for hours making it appear that the lot id full but it's just squatters taking up space. Spotting is better at the remote lot off...

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    This may be characteristic of Gen Z'ers in larger metropolitan areas but is not really representative of those in that group in Maine and other more rural states. All of my nieces and nephews are Gen Z'ers and they all drive.

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Maybe Portland isn't Boston but do we need to lower our standards because of that?

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Please don't bother. The addition is not the holy grail. I do not care who designed it. EVERY designer makes mistakes and the addition to the PMA is no exception. It is mediocre and deserves no effort at preservation. Who gives a damn WHO designed it? Blah, blah, blah. It lacks balance in...

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Mark Bessire definitely needs to be removed but so does much of the board who has followed his mis-guided lead. His arrogance around the Free St. property is nothing short of irresponsible. We need a new director, board members and architects to start back at square one. I personally feel the...

    Maine Medical Center Expansion | Portland

    I was able to get a good look into the porte cochere last evening and there is definitely direct access into the garage.

    There are a number of manufacturers building triple glazed windows in the U.S. including Paradigm in Portland.

    I give them credit however for revising their stance after receiving new information. Refreshing in this current climate.

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Nice, but can we do away with the use of gray on this project? Gray structures are already becoming dated looking as it is so overused and rarely attractive to begin with.

    Sorry, my bad.

    Likely in jeopardy since Maine Public is no longer a potential tenant as they will be moving into the former public market building.

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    I am at the bus station 4 times a week and they are far beyond capacity at this point. Their lots will be full when Amtrak leaves.

    I would not be surprised if plans are not already being made for Maine Med to transfer ownership of part or all of the shopping center to build the new train station and integrate it into their future infrastructure. I predict Maine Health's next expansion will be towards St. Johns Street on...
