It is visible in the photo (post 264) in the same spot where the Lobsterman statue is located. (y)

I don't think Cosakita would mind, he's making some serious money off of this thread now! :) The only TV commercial I remember was around 1971 which was the "Look around you, discover Intown Portland" (follow the gull) campaign and the newly completed One Monument Square building was in it...

The Falmouth Hotel with Union Street to the right.

Two City Center under construction, building with whiskey ad is long gone. The gal in the red skirt would have actually been inside the Falmouth Hotel before it was torn down.

This photo shows the mess the area was going through around 1971 and the Falmouth Hotel was actually located at the dirt piles in the foreground ended prior to the Seagram's Whiskey sign. Two City Center now sits where the two further pick ups are and the building with the whiskey ad which was...

You are correct, that is Union Street in the dead center of the top photo and it was not aligned with Temple until the Spring Street Arterial finally meandered down to meet Middle Street. The large empty square lot is where the Falmouth Hotel was located and its western wall was where the Two...

Canal Plaza construction wrapping up in 1973 with an AMC Gremlin sighting to the right!

Here's some 70's charm for those commentators! Plum Street is visible in the top photo and located under the word "Canal". East Brown Cow video screenshots.

185 Commercial Street is disappointing to hear but the New Green Deal has been a financial dealbreaker for many of the developers.

Because I refuse to subscribe to the Press Herald rag, what type of spin did the writer put on the proposed project? Probably safe to bet that most of the 68 comments so far are negative.

Great question that I was wondering myself. I'm guessing no termite issues at that height but how structurally sound could it possibly be with just glass and wood during heavy winds and we could lose TC on the day it opens!

Mr Soley has spent the past 8 years fine tuning his vision for this tower and the overall well being and financial success of Old Port Square. He has invested a decent sum of money to get to this point in the process and his selection of a world renowned architectural firm shows his level of...

Now you're just being greedy!

Have faith, many of us on here were skeptical on whether "The Casco" would ever materialize but Redfern's determination and ability to prioritize financial issues and resolve numerous obstacles along the way pulled it off.

Original concept at 22 floors and approximately 283 feet. I do remember asking Tim in the very early stages if he would consider eliminating a few floors of height to appease the city and any naysayers and his answer was a firm no and it would not be financially feasible due to the small...

1. My gut feeling after talking to Tim Soley and his son Jacob is that this is what they want to build, they are within the new downtown Portland height requirements and I don't think they want to shrink it back down to the original 283' height and 22 floors. I'd still be pleased with 283'...

TC, I always enjoy your posts and agree with the opinions most of the time but could you help us all out with a few paragraph breaks which would make them a little easier to read especially for the older generation? :)

Impressive from this angle!
