This is great news for Portland and will be fun to watch develop over the next several years. The renderings will likely change a dozen times prior to anything being built. Hopefully we will get some great looking structures. I'm also very curious about the public space, specifically the route...

This post a million times. Most college sports programs are not profitable. This map is a little old but should be a point of pride for Maine. As someone who grew up in a city and state obsessed with college basketball, I find the lack of emphasis on, and public funding of, college sports...

Photos depict progress on the Citizen at Union and Pleasant and the Tontine Mall at Maine and School. The latter is an especially cool project as it added two stories of residential to an existing structure.

Article in the Press Herald yesterday about approval of an $800k Gorham-Westbrook-Portland rapid transit study. This is the highest priority corridor ID’ed in the Transit Tomorrow study linked to in post 62 above so it’s great to see movement on this already...

Photo from York St. between Maple and High. I hadn’t previously stopped to admire this new courtyard.

Made my annual trip to Providence to bike the East Bay Bike Path, which is the best paved trail in mainland New England I know of. Wandered around Providence after the ride and snapped a few photos. Special attention to Edge College Hill, which somehow manages to look exactly like the computer...

The concepts presented are pretty uninspired and likely to cement outer Pleasant as an auto-dominated space for decades to come. Instead of a solution (in the form of a roundabout) in search of a problem, we should be building a generously sized multi use path along outer Pleasant. Pairing that...

Did a self-guided tour of cities on the Merrimack River yesterday, including Haverhill. Snapped these pictures of the Heights. Not sure when it was completed but the ground floor appeared mostly vacant.

Pictures taken today of the additional stories being constructed on the Tontine Mall.

Hopefully the value of Dogecoin will rap I actually love that building! Gives the area an old wharf feel

Kentucky being added politically may not have the benefit people hope for. Recall that the Health Insurance Marketplace call center was located in KY to smooth passage/acceptance of the ACA and it hasn’t stopped McConnell or other R’s from the state from supporting repeal efforts. Also, the...

Preservation of structures isn’t what limits Portland, it’s height limits and minimum parking requirements. With a few 20 story towers around it, the preservation of this handsome building would be a charming reminder of historic uses in this area and how it has developed while also indicating...

The foundation was in place last weekend and steel has gone up since. Anyone know what this structure at Thompson’s Point will be? Photos taken from the platform and abroad the Downeaster.

Sanibel north?

I love that you’re providing indoor bike parking. Such a nice and needed amenity!

I love the willingness to explore similarly priced alternatives to demolition.

NNEPRA Board meeting minutes from March note that we can expect a fifth roundtrip on the Downeaster to be added by this summer. This was also mentioned by Ms. Quinn during the recent TRNE annual meeting. I believe she said the additional roundtrip would be added in May. I'm really looking...

Very cool! Dynamic multicolored lighting built into the wall the water is falling over would be awesome. Turquoise, purple, and red are my personal preferences but I’m open to anything that brings Only God Forgives to mind :)

For me, a silver lining of the pandemic was that the area around the Ocean Gateway was very quiet this past summer allowing us to enjoy several open container picnics down there. Really nice spot and this proposal would create significantly more manicured public space along the waterfront...
