I agree with Cneal on this but MaineJeff your opinion is your opinion and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I think we have an imaginary picture of our skyline and yes it seems to always be taken from the other side of the cove which is my hood. Next time you have a moment to stop and...

I put it at 10% that Portland has a building break 300 ft in the next 40 years

Catholic charities started helping bringing them to Portland and Lewiston by the hundreds. Lewiston which was already bad enough got overwhelmed. You can't just drop a few thousand People to a completely different world and think it will be a smooth transition. Not being funny but the worst...

It's really out of hand. Like you said its the younger ones. It's weird because the girls stay traditional to their culture but the young men adopt the american hip hop one immediately. Unlike many of the tilted hat posers that were here, these youth come from where they witnessed violence all...

And as pat said its relative. Absolutely nothing compared to a Camden or any of those real deal street certified places. And don't take my refugee comment as racist. It is what is. You take people from third world hell holes and drop them off here where they adopt the hip hop/gangsta style, you...

There is actually quite a long stretch across the city that you could consider shady, poor, or infested with drug dealers and addicts. All of Kennedy park project, all the way down Cumberland ave and the whole preble street area which is something out of a zombie movie. Then you have most of...

Normally I would say the place would be a failure and they are already established with the other two places. Hipsters love 188 and they love shady neighborhoods. It will be very successful and finally gives a large dining option for sea dogs/red claw games

I'd love something tall but that's never gonna happen. Plus the bayside project turns our skyline from 2-d to 3-d so an iconic tower at the top of the east parking lot wouldnt mean as much. We need an iconic complex of buildings. Maritime landing and Thompson point are both game changers, but...

Brain fart time. What hotel is that?

That really is a huge project. The last phases look the best. Too bad they'll never be built

I'm not gonna dig through all the old posts. I know there was a flyover vid before but I think this might be a little more updated. Maybe not. Pretty sweet. Like I said from a guy in the know, if they don't land Wright Express it might not break ground...

Nice. Looks like it will be the debut of the master plan. Might be shocking considering they spruced up the massings for the original meetings Another guy I know has the contract for thompsons point. If they land wright express they could break ground as early as January. If they don't get the...

A guy who will be working on canal hotel said within a couple weeks they'll be ripping down bricks from the garage. I guess it's going to attach to it

The restaurant in the new commercial street hotel will have the exact same amount of seats and bar stools as sebago brewing. Honestly, somebody get me a job at opechee Obviously not gonna be another sebago but that's too many seats for any other local restaurant . Any thoughts?

It answers the age old questions..... What would a person on bath salts draw on an etch-a-sketch

This guy or girl, sketched such an atrocious drawing of Cincinnati , Johnny fever and venus flytrap jumped out the radio station window after seeing it

God, I saw the absolute worst city sketch artwork in my life today at the Starbucks on Exchange street. Didn't catch the name of the person on the wall but it's so bad I felt like he should be paying me money to look at it. Do me a favor and go buy them so my children don't have to look at it...

Oh and how in the hell did Cumberland farms ever get zoned in there?

Can't complain about that pic. I'll take it And yes the pine street one is great. Complete that intersection

Couple of renderings for the Newbury Loft I hadn't seen yet. Weird how the corner building has all glass on the top floor. That a condo up there or office? I'm sure the first floor is a restaurant or something...
