Nothing will happen here until this guy is six feet under and the property changes hands. It's like the private house with the junk in the drive and yard smack dab in the middle of the UNE campus in Portland. Feisty old Mainers.

I'm still trying to figure out how they are going to "bus in" and out to Roux 2,000 students (at first) with an eventual 8,000 after. This area (see images) across from Roux will or could become a place for development to satisfy housing needs. These students are graduate students from around...

I'm betting that they finish this before the new Roux campus opening. Just realized this is the closest market rate apartment building to the new Roux. These 326 apartments should go fast--3/4 of a mile from campus. Smart.

Buy a house next door. It will double in value when this opens. It has no housing.

I like to have fun with my postings. I was in Houston last year and was "gifted" back-to-back entry with suite tickets for Taylor Swift. I'm not a big fan, buy hey, she's supposed to be something special--and she was. There were teenage girls running around drinking $40 disco ball cocktails with...

That's about 150-200 more people, and all would be VIPS. More money and the team would like that. The premium experience is always popular with the few who can afford it. If you were rich, would you fly coach? You gonna buy a Toyota after winning the lottery? Let those who can pay, pay. I don't...

I read that they weren't. I wish they would fill in the seating at the top by the home team dugout. It looks weird. I also think it should go up to meet with the Expo wall. The Expo has so many deficiencies as a venue and I or all of us doubt it will ever be razed and replaced--too many good...

Exceptional photo. This angle juxtaposition gives it an ethereal and perhaps holy look, feel and significance. NY has that classic view from Brooklyn of the bridge and Manhattan skyline for movies. Maybe something similar for Boston? This one I think can also compete with Trinity Church and the...

Seadogs new clubhouse going up. I wish the old fire station next door had become a brewery with a notable outdoor space as some of the players might have stopped by after the game. What a hang that would have been.

I can see these selling. The location is perfect with train service next door to Portland or Boston. One can work in either place and live here. A half hour or two hours using a laptop on a train is productive. A bus? Not so easy...

As a complex, I think that I would vote (the BSA award) for bro and little bro here... It's certainly not anything we are used to in Boston, but then that's probably why I like it. It feels like a bridge to the future.

The current build environment in highlight. It's 2025 and the following is a select status quo for architecture to be thankful for in such "a small city:" And is it really small, comparatively? Is the immediate population the key metric for the size of and dynamism of a city? Other than Boston...

Depicting the four seasons... https://www.cambridgeseven.com/project/roux-institute-at-northeastern-university/?industry=featured

Exciting to see this. They have an ambitious plan to add students every year. What's their housing plan? UNE in Portland has lost students due to a lack of housing, or housing within a reasonable distance. I think not building the dorm and hotel in the first iteration is a mistake. Neighbors...

First post of 2025... 👏 Here are more pics and in higher rez too. After USM's new arts center is done, that and its student center/dorm build along with Maine Med's addition elevates the architecture in the city up a bit--perhaps even a level. All three designs are from noted international arch...

I'm actually in consultant mode right now (in Vegas) with Live Nation and 50 Cent for his residency at Planet Hollywood. Is that the past or the present? You tell me. "Rad" does date me a bit to surfer/beach culture in the 90s and early 2000's in LA.. I'm not going to say "sick" or "fire" though.

One more point, or for Cross Insurance Arena to become a viable arena again--the lighting. HID lamps or mercury vapor is what they use, of which makes you look and feel like being in a parking lot at night. It's not flattering in any sense--ghastly. It's one key reason why conventions don't work...

Here are 4 key things to draw big music acts.... 1. more profits with merch and food and drink 2. good acoustics 3. a rad and perhaps epic space for the artist's dressing room (you have no idea) 4. no rank odors (older places like the State Theatre and Merrill) ALL Maine venues fail miserably...

Live Nation would then control ALL of the acts who appear here (they own Ticketmaster). I kind of had to buy 3 tickets to see the Bruins next week at TD Garden, and each seat cost me $250. The total on Ticketmaster (Live Nation) came to $1,007. That's about a 33% fee hike. They are funding this...
