Though I am a huge proponent of historic preservation, I personally do not believe the Children's Museum is worth saving as it has been bastardized multiple times over the years from it's original iteration. I am in favor of razing it to accommodate the PMA expansion. HOWEVER this entire...

Perhaps the powers that be should hit these guys up to fund a new stadium. https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/12/26/news/hancock/maine-major-league-sports-team-ownership-n6hjn1me0n/

Of course the final solution will likely make no sense. If they were to do it right, they would build a single transportation hub to serve all forms of ground transportation with room to grow as the city does. But I am sure the various modes of transport will end up scattered across the map.

These properties should be sold as "needs to be relocated" to free up future space if USM is going to get serious about being a true urban university. Next to go - Oakhurst.

This is just plain embarassing.

How original in it's design! (note sarcasm) MEH

Casco Tower. Though I think there is a better name out there still. Azimuth and Lorelei are too obscure and people will have no clue how these names would relate to the building (because they don't).

Your counter argument is ridiculous. Trying to market a building full of apartments under the John Ford name is asking for failure. Unless you are an old film buff you have no clue who he was. "Blyth and Burrows" and "Henry's" can be catchy names for an establishment without patrons knowing...

And the majority of younger folks would be asking who the hell John Ford is. Personally I was raised on John Ford films but I am also a boomer (barely ... lol). "The John Ford Building" would be DOA with the majority of folks to whom these apartments would be marketed.

Yes! And gray too! What a surprise .... oy vey.

If you have not yet taken the opportunity to explore The Downs in Scarborough I highly recommend doing so. I was in the area yesterday and was highly impressed with what they are creating. Aceto Landscape Architects have done a tremendous job of designing this mixed use development...

Which is why I make mention of that in my comment on the article ... they need to go away.

The elevated platform was put there by the developer. It was in place prior to the unit being placed on the market.

Stupid design choice. Can't imagine what they were thinking.

A few new pics from today. Exterior is very near completion.

You obviously haven't seen some of the McMansions built with new money. The nouveau riche definitely have a flair for the ostentatious! LOL

Last week I arrived into PWM on the 2:14 Delta flight from Minneapolis which is right in the midst of the afternoon rush. The terminal was absolutely packed with passengers waiting to depart on flights and all of the restaurants and shops were crowded with people. It had the feel of a much...
