A nice "from this... to this!" photo set with the "before" pic showing customers making their way across the tarmac in frozen January might be a nice touch! (I might have some similar pics from a chilly November night.)

Windsurfing used to be VERY popular there, and that was before they started cleaning up the overflows! Actual sailboats.... maybe not so much.

Is there a locator map to better show where on the property that development is going to be?

As in the Tate House Mr. Tate? He was a mast agent for the Royal Navy under Kings George II and III, so my hunch is that he would sympathize with the rich neighbors.

The neighbors are appealing the Planning Board approval to Superior Court.

NNEPRA wanted a station on the mainline and on the peninsula. That's a very short stretch, and the sites around Congress have two big drawbacks: you're dealing with Maine Health, who owns them, and they're close enough to the crossing that the detectors would fire and drop the gates the whole...

MaineDOT is leading the project. NNEPRA is of course a stakeholder, and eventually the Portland Planning Board will have a say. But DOT is running the show (probably since they have more money than NNEPRA does).

Indeed. The roadway as built up to Congress and Cumberland was intended to be the exit ramps.

It is indeed parking for UNE, with a shuttle service up the hill to the campus. Parking on the main campus is very tight, and it's still TBD whether the new College of Medicine lot will really accommodate everyone from that school. That bit at the far left of the photo, past the UNE lot of...

As a proud Portland native, I feel compelled to observe that Lewiston and Bangor have such nice signs as a service to those who arrive there and say, "Are you sure this is it?" Franklin would indeed be a great place for a cool sign (assuming we can't have the tunnel to Middle St.). The few nice...

LOL... only a year later. Yup! The two roads exiting at the top are St. John and Valley, the one to the left is the old Veterans' Bridge (which was directly next and parallel to the existing railroad bridge), lower left is the Cassidy Point road connector with the hated RR overpass, going...

My late dad drove truck for a career, and he (not a sophisticated man by any means) remarked on this too... after seeing the way things were done across the rest of the country, he noticed that when things were built here, even attractions like e.g. Seacoast Club in Windham, they weren't "done...

Remember the limited funding sources the city has available. The only tax revenue they have is from direct taxes on their citizens: property and excise taxes. Grant funding and state revenue sharing are mercurial. The Legislature takes very seriously the state constitution's mandate that it...

I don't travel for work, so I typically only fly on vacation. I used CCL a couple of years ago when I was flying to London, and last year when our flight out of IAH was cancelled due to thunderstorms and we rebooked to BOS. But typically, if the cost or timing difference is significant, we'll...

I've never used MIA, but I've used FLL several times, and I can say, at least as far as getting in and out of the airport goes, it's excellent. None of the terminals I've used has been sprawling, and it's crazy close to town as opposed to being way off somewhere. I do recall that the airside...

I think they're determined to move. They want the total trip time BRK-BON reduced (which doesn't just save travel time for people using Brunswick and Freeport, it also saves crew hours), and they want out of having to pay rent to Concord Coach. Remember, they wanted to move 15 years ago, and the...

Taken today ...

Do we have any idea how the gates will work with the FIS facility? I know Paul originally wanted to leverage the former walled-off Delta area behind the old ticketing area, since it's already enclosed. That led me to believe that Gates 1A & B could be upgraded to be the international ones, and...

At first glance, I thought it was done and the Jetport had gotten new grab-n-go sandwich and burger places!

So are they planning on vacating the Rainbow Mall?
