I know Geno's is popular, but I'd love to see that eyesore replaced too.

Interesting - Where is Memic now? Are they still going to develop the Spring Street/Boru Lots?

Does that mean it's being moved and saved?

This image makes me wish the Nickelodeon and the Garage could be developed into a tower also. It's just so ugly and a waste of the real estate. The image also makes you wonder what it'd look like if the Portland Square development ever happened. At this point, maybe doubtful? Those proposed...

The Lilac Mall in Rochester NH is being torn down also. Makes me also think of the Auburn Mall, which is desolate and sad. South Portland has so much growth potential with a new vision of the Mall area.

Build another bridge from that point to Franklin lol

I wonder what, if anything, might come of a bunch of real estate that was "supposedly bought up by someone with ties to Trump" around the Alder Street, Homeless Services area.

It would be interesting (given the dialogue here) to see what the top could look like ... if the top two floors were set-back a bit (gradually smaller). Or ... Instead of the "hat", add some kind of pinnacle or tower to give it some "reach".

It would be interesting to see what could happen to Rumford and that general area. If there would be a diaspora from other areas to the foothills. Gray, West-Falmouth, West-Cumberland would see a boom in development. Freeport could see more density. Skowhegan another recipient of those...

Even 432 Park Ave NYC is "basic" and doesn't need to look stupid with anything on top. Same w/220 Central Park South, 111 West 57th, One Madison, One57 ... you don't need a superfluous top

It's one thing to suggest building industrial grain elevators again ... it's another when designing what is so obviously an ugly pencil/needle d*ck of a building. The facade - yup, will be great for birds to nest and shit all over, bravo on that brilliant and well thought out design. The top -...

I'm not against this proposal, but I'm still struggling to get behind the top. It's probably going to be dubbed the "Ugly Hat" building or some variation. And then be known as that for decades to come.

The Inn block itself would likely be attractive to Maine Med. They could always acquire the other housing buildings next to the church for additional space too. Also an IDEAL SPOT for a TRAFFIC CIRCLE

Looks like #939 Congress (the small inn) and #867 Congress (old church) are for sale. Who wants to place wagers that Maine Med will acquire these?

It'd be too expensive now to re-introduce a trolly system. Although *IF* Portland had a Trolly ... I think it would do even MORE to put Portland on the map as a quintessential and iconic New England small city. Even if it only went up and down the middle of Congress Street, it would be cool...

The commentary that housing is needed and could be done well with the right developer is great. But I don't get the need for a public park or the desire for open space? Apparently it's a line in the sand? Literally ... Deering Oaks is right there, Kennedy Park, and ALL OF BACK COVE. By all...

If they're going to redo the entire complex, they might as well just tear down the Expo and Ice Rink entirely and start over. That's my humble opinion. Perhaps they could include the overhaul of Fitzpatrick too and have one major sports center. If we're getting really ambitious, they could...

Looks so Eastern European ...

Was there any architectural salvage?

Does it look like the newer renderings .... the cap brim is smaller?
