I love that they kept many of the mature trees that surround that parcel. If only more of Maine realized the resource and beauty that grows all around us.

There have been a lot of pictures of the "Umbrella Street"....but when the late afternoon sun was illuminating the Maine Discovery Museum building I just couldn't resist...

Also I was absolutely giddy about the full service Starbucks now open on campus....a very well done space that used to be the Bear's Den.

A few recent pics from the Walsh Center/Alfond Arena expansion......

Totally agree. Maine in general doesn't seem to care about maintenance of public spaces, landscaping, etc....and winter clean-up is usually left to spring and summer rainstorms.

*Summer = May thru October

Not surprised that hotel plans are still popping up in Portland.....has to have one of the highest average hotel rates (excluding taxes) in the country.

LOL.....It's a freakin mile in an already overdeveloped and quickly growing commercial and residential area. But hey if you want everyone to crawl in their gas guzzlers along that stretch spewing air pollution........🤷‍♂️

Hey guys…went down to Costco the other day. Are there any plans to widen Payne Rd between Hannaford and Costco? What is it…1 mile (or less)? Come on Scarborough…the area and traffic is growing quickly! It’s a ridiculous little stretch to travel.

Last night's crowd at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor.....holy cow!

P.S. - A couple of sleek 30 story buildings would do wonders for that skyline.

That is a very nice picture.....very clear and perfectly framed showing the entire skyline and waterfront......the very essence of who Portland is.
