They have a sale on, but they just quoted me this: I didn't follow through to see what the additional fees are, but $70 r/t as a base fare is definitely competitive!

Yes, that was the one! There was some discussion of it, but it was literally a decade ago and I wonder if the owners of Union and Widgery are still interested.

With Sapporo having moved out, I wonder if someone is going to revive the full Widgery Wharf redevelopment from 10 years ago (I searched here for it, but the references I found depended on a long-since-expired Loopnet listing). Update: Google found Said expired listing for me.

I believe you're both right, but I think an RDC shuttle running from a new platform just north of Cumberland St. (so not using the parts that have been built on) in to Bishop St. could have been a great amenity... but again, the Turnpike is in the way as well as the ROW having been obliterated...

The author is a teacher of Art History at MECA and USM. Honestly, the piece basically says "tall building full of rich people bad!"

Ironic that, prior to 1955, that spot essentially had direct rail access to the Westbrook College campus. But doing anything with that corridor west of the Turnpike, other than salvaging scrap metal, isn't on anyone's work plan. They presumably would have had to substantially raise the Turnpike...

I think this one slipped by us; it's visible when waiting at the light to turn right from Warren Ave., and is behind the Stockhouse on some of the old rail yard.

Almost; restaurant on 29, sky lobby / observation deck on 30.

So what was your intended answer?

Having been that guy, I'd still take the new arrangement with level deplaning and no wind or rain over the prior situation. Not to mention, that guy is going to be exiting on the other side of the terminal soon enough, and I don't believe that the number of people who choose "I'll wear shorts on...

The thought occurs to me that, if it weren't divided between Gates 12 and 14, you could cut a hole in the side in the middle of it and park a food truck (with a scissor lift as needed) there to serve it! Although I'm sure in this city Mr. Tuna would immediately grab the license.

This should all probably go to General Portland Discussion, but I recall a commercial from the 70's, the era when Maine Savings, Casco Bank and Canal Bank had all built new headquarters buildings, where Portland Savings was supposedly contemplating one (a tall black tower with their "The Bank"...

I knew "Michael" was originally somewhere other than where it is now at the base of Free St., but I had forgotten where. Thanks for the reminder! Interesting that the garage was built following the old Temple St. path, rather than filling out the grassy esplanade. I assume that green patch was...

A couple of things worth pointing out in this photo (I don't really remember the "before," but I remember the construction of the "Maineway" project at the time... That's Temple Street coming straight down from the First Parish Church. That's Union cutting diagonally up from "Post-Demolition"...

Aren't both the former $3 Dewey's and Cadillac Jack's spaces on Fore St. vacant? (For those who have no idea where I mean, maybe the two storefronts where Pearl used to be?) Just saying, there's must be other places in the Old Port to open a bar. I've never been to Novare though so maybe I'm...

I'll be honest, while I don't dislike the idea, the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was the current president's proposal for a development called Television City, which would have been built on the West Side Yards site (now Hudson Yards). It was to include the world's tallest...

Here's an updated version of @cneal's sketch of the Old Port Square properties, with the specific additions EBC mentioned above... (Something else is coming soon, but my phone is being balky...)

As a suburbanist, Western Ave. doesn't bother me. What does stick out to me is that I've never seen anything you could call the "nice" part of town to live in. Anything residential I've ever seen in Augusta is either a trailer park, or it reminds me of the Hill c. 1990. I am certainly open to...

@Redfern , you guys did it! Congratulations!

I recall Key Bank saying they were proud to be making a contribution to the revival of Water Street at the time; ISTR they had a pretty decent office presence in the building originally, in addition to the branch. And alas, Water Street indeed does not appear in a search of Key locations in...
