Valet with pleasant young valet personnel in black silk vests and bow ties and customers in nice cars dressed up for a stay or dinner will be a nuisance? You mean the current miscreants and drug addicts shooting up out front with opioids and flakka or meth is a more desirable setting for...

This is a great addition for the Jetport. The new Terminal A in Newark is replete with touches of natural wood for passenger seating areas. It looks like natural wood and suspended ceiling decoration for a more intimate or "cubby hole-like" feel will be a continued new design style at airports...

If "they" ever desire a satellite office outside of Langley, Shreve Crump, & Low could fit in nicely.

Agreed. It would have become a high-tech modern monster of a statement coming around the bend to see that.

Some of the more noteworthy of local bands that I know of from over the years... Lady Lamb (she tours all over the country and is I think, an incredible talent who could be much bigger, though money is not a primary motivation) Spose (he got that initial big record deal... so love that hit he...

The city council last night voted for a 180 day moratorium for anything new to be built. What is wrong with this city? Read this...

If this penthouse and pool is an indication of the theme and style of the remainder of the building units, I'd pass too. It looks and feels like a cleanroom. Wear your masks and shoe covers.

And the Downs keeps on growing. Now it's an outpatient facility from Intermed. The forecast is for over 2,000 housing units, but I think it will become much higher--maybe nearly 3,000. A big parking garage will be necessary too...

Once they get a foot bridge from here built to the train station, it's convenient to get to Portland or Boston on the Downeaster with 5 daily trips.

This is rather odd to see for a new office building. Perhaps it was designed without solar in mind. LL Bean's new 390,000 square foot headquarters is 80% powered by renewable energy. ReVision Energy in SoPo is a leader in solar, with many patents and their panel arrays can be installed flat...

This is "progressing" at a snails pace. But nevertheless, still good for inspiring the future of this area.

What a GREAT event for the Portland area. 6,500 runners head out tomorrow morning starting at 8am. The majority are from outside Portland, the state, and the nation. Where do you think they are staying tonight? Any hotel rooms available? We have a new one at Thompson's Point on the way, and then...

I was in San Antonio last week, downtown, and wow what a fun place to be. It's teeming with activity and not far from its riverwalk there is an observation tower (Tower of the Americas) that is a bit taller (750 feet) than the height of what Old Port Square will be. At night it has some...

I wouldn't think twice about boarding from a "gate 13." But then that's me. (And everyone knows that gate 14 is actually the 13.)

I believe that once the addition is finished and the museum becomes a popular and dynamic community asset again, the old Children's Museum building will be for the most part, forgotten. The new iteration design posted above is much better than the original one, or the one that was going to...

He is impatient with inefficiency. He certainly fixed the politically censoring Twitter. Key Tesla patents are public domain--he wants it that way for the obvious of reasons, and it has spurred on the industry. Starlink is pure genius. SpaceX can land a massive sized rocket vertically, while...

Hope springs eternal... Without action, hope is largely an empty idea. We talk and debate about problems and seemingly insurmountable walls, over and over again and yet nothing is done. But agreed, having optimism is still a healthy mindset to have, a being positive against pessimism. As Freud...

Residents, or the older ones, are rather sensitive when it comes to large signs. If it's been around for a long, long time and quite visible (e.g., The Citgo sign near Fenway, or the Eastland one above the Westin), they will fight for its continued existence, tooth and nail. I like the Hopeful...

I'm counting 7 large yachts in the harbor at this moment (6 at Fore Points Marina and 1 at DiMillos). Someone still likes it here. Let's make America, I mean Portland, great again--all over, not just down at the waterfront and Old Port.
