    The solution is clear. Refuse to fly with them and they will go away. https://www.pressherald.com/2025/07/01/portland-city-council-weighs-options-on-ice-contracted-airline-flying-out-of-jetport/

    Portland's Franklin Street redesign

    Artificial turf does not enhance anyone's quality of life. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Enough in this world is artificial already and in no way enhances the human experience.

    General Portland Discussion

    That was exactly my impression. As one with 40 years experience in designing public spaces I laughed at the thought that this was going to have anything but a negative effect on the area. Who do they think is going to be occupying those seasonal seats? It will be those they would rather...

    I wonder how many Naugas they killed to clad that thing?

    Falmouth Shopping Center Redevelopment

    I am working on a large project behind here so see this place often. So much more could have been done to make this a standout project but it's just there. Nothing impressive about it.

    I really do believe it is short sighted not to go ahead with the parking garage expansion at this time however the NIMBY's knew what they were getting when they bought property next to an airport ... https://www.pressherald.com/2025/05/12/residents-call-for-new-board-to-oversee-portland-jetport/

    Old Port Square (née Canal Plaza) | Portland

    As we all should be aware by now, until anything is put out for bid for construction and often even after, actual designs are fluid and can change significantly. I am keeping an open mind about this project. From a design perspective I actually kind of like it. We will see if that changes...

    Except you are forgetting that aesthetics is a major influence on user experience. I've been a designer (landscape, interior and exterior, graphic) for over 45 years. A mis-step in design of any one aspect of a project can ruin the entire experience for the end user.

    This is an example of horrible design.

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Though I have NO knowledge regarding GPL's stance or involvement in preserving/restoring the Abyssinian Meeting House, if they were not 150% supportive of that then they have no place being involved in historic p-reservation in Portland at all. That certainly would be hypocritcal on their part...

    89 Elm Street | Port Properties Bayside Phase 1A | Portland

    I seriously hope this doesn't truly represent the final design and colors of the project. This is seriously oppressive in an already depressing area. There was no real thought put into the design here. As usuaL

    Is it time for a new Portland arena?

    Portland should not think about building a new arena that doesn't seat at least 18-20k at the minimum. Otherwise we'll just end up with another arena that doesn't allow for thinking big about hosting anything.

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    Well that explains why the terminal had not been cleaned when I flew out of Portland 10 days ago. I headed to Atlanta on the 5:30 a.m. flight from Gate 8 and the place was embarassingly filthy. Not really fond of the colors of the new carpet but at least it's clean. Yep. When I flew out 10...

    Portland Music Hall | Cumberland Avenue

    There is no space outside of the auditorium to offer F&D and it would be inappropriate to allow it inside.
