    Is it time for a new Portland arena?

    The one puzzling venue that I don't see that often is Hartford (XCel Center) which UConn and Quinnipiac could host. Bridgeport is also a surprise that I would not visit without a sidearm LOL as with Springfield after dark. Maybe the NCAA thinks we are not a state or UMaine actually is not a D1...

    There is a long story behind this. Since the railroad closed the line thru bayside, the 2 scrapyards had to truck everything out vs railcars. Portland has always wanted to move them outside the metro downtown area. So, the bayside redevelopment master plan came into place advocating the movement...

    Is it time for a new Portland arena?

    One of the complaints that came from holding the AHL all star game was lack of media boxes. The renovation did not address this. There is no elevator to that level also. The loading docks are a disgrace, which is partially the Citys fault in design. The planning dept pushed for brick sidewalks...

    Is it time for a new Portland arena?

    Portland was supposed to host a NCAA regional tournament several years ago. First you need a Host school and money. UMaine was the host, but not the money needed to host. Next you need hotel rooms. At the time of the bid, Portland did not meet that. NCAA loves big markets, for example. Worcester...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    it just shows there is a big loyal JetBlue following in this area. I personally much rather fly B6 to MCO to the brand-new terminal vs the old terminal and the driverless tram. Has anyone heard of the loads for PQI-BOS? just curious... on another note, I am surprised B6 does not have 1 flight...

    You have a lot of well-established businesses at Union Station, Maine Hardware, Save Alot, Buckdancers, the pool hall and the Pawn Shop. That strip and the stand-alone building is 100% occupied. If the strip was 50% occupied, I would go for it. But there are a lot of patrons who rely on...
