I'm not all that familiar with Murfreesboro, but looking at it on Google Maps (not sure how old this view is), there appears to be no shortage of asphalt that could be turned into more high-rises or other infill projects.

That satellite photo is deceiving. The container facility is now a bustling hub for Eimskip. They added two new cranes last year, and Eimskip is expanding container service, especially now that the cold storage warehouse is operational next door. This view from Google Maps shows just how many...

I appreciate the vision, and in a perfect world with unlimited budgets, a downtown or near downtown stadium would be incredible. But when I look at actual development projects, I prefer to stay grounded in the financial and logistical realities of the current market. Here is why that idealism...

I still think the Maine Mall parking lot remains the most viable option. It simply checks more boxes than any other site: ✔️ Land Cost & Availability: Usable land for a fraction of the cost of urban property in Portland or South Portland. ✔️ Infrastructure: Direct access from I-95, I-295, and...

And the same view today:

Yeah, I'm skeptical of the Wells and Ellsworth predictions, but Wells does have a lot of available land away from the coast. If Sanford does take off, Wells could benefit from it. Agreed on limits for Standish given the lack of public sewer and water. I think it could crack 16,000, though...

It's a slow time of year at work, so I've been spending time having hypothetical development conversations with AI Chatbots (my wife certainly isn't interested in having these conversations :ROFLMAO:). Since we're nearing the end of 2025, I asked Gemini to come up with a few different scenarios...

I didn't totally get rid of it. More tried to reimagine what it would look like without the crown but something else to visually distinguish the top. This is what it looks like just straight removing the crown: And this is the side-by-side of what I did:

This is what it would look like without the crown. Honestly, I like it is better with it than without.

I think a lot of Mainers simply have a clinical relationship with change, a sort of natural reflex to reject anything new before understanding any benefit whatsoever. We want a thriving economy and housing, but we refuse to accept the vertical growth required to support it. Even if this isn't...

That's an interesting idea of extending a Mountain Division Branch into Mosher's Corner, because that's really where you want a commuter station, not Little Falls or South Windham. PLUS, you could potentially get Amazon to pay for a large chunk of it to use as a siding into their new...

Makeup date set for 12/16

Not sure that's possible now that the widening took away the median until you get past BJ's Wholesale Club heading northbound.

Re-imagining the original Lincoln Square proposal from the 1980s to today as a mixed-use but mostly residential development. Original Lincoln Square Proposal: Reimagined:

AI ain't perfect :ROFLMAO:

Tinkering with AI. Concepts for a 30-story building at the corner of Free Street and Center Street (the empty parking lot across from the civic center).

Via monorail, of course! There's no other option to consider!

If the State ever decides to close the Long Creek youth center, that could be a feasible location for an overflow lot with a shuttle going directly over to the terminal. It'd be a much better option than the Pink Lot on the other side of the Turnpike, where the shuttle has to navigate through...

Realistically, if rail were ever extended north of the city, it would most likely come from Bayside, not around the East End via the Grand Trunk. Otherwise, via the Grand Trunk you're re-introducing rail to Commercial Street, and Commercial Street is an entirely different animal today than it...

Feels like they rushed to tear it down before another lawsuit or appeal came along to stop it.
