I thoroughly enjoy commenting on the PPH articles. I'm so over it.

This route is in desperate need of a traffic circle. The light at Water Street/Pepperell Square>Front Street stops all traffic from flowing on Main Street. Gets completely backed up and at a complete stop all the way through Main Street on the Biddeford side. And then the traffic/light coming...

Been in that building. Would be a gorgeous new facade.

Would have been better suited for a 10 story building

Too bad we tore down all those more interesting and beautiful buildings that we can't afford to rebuild, then. This goes for pretty much everywhere across the country.

Nothing like making Portland look like an Eastern Europe that didn't age well ....

Architectural Design the last 10+ years:

Can we please make the exterior more interesting? I think Portland is getting tired of this design.

It'd be a "pity" if an accidental fire destroyed the Bean Factory building slated for saving. Out of everything that SHOULD have been saved in Portland, this isn't one of them. Oh well.

The USM traffic circle is purely utilitarian. Similar to a couple of circles out near Gorham. Portland needs a dozen more of these all over the city (and SoPo, Scarborough, Windham, etc etc) to make traffic flow better. I think circles are so foreign to Portlanders that if you made it too...

Resurgam is the Portland Motto. Phoenix may work in reference to the great fire. I would prefer something indigenous for the "spirit of place" and history (and not just a casual shrug of a reference, a legitimate one). Algonquian or Wabanaki Nation would fit. Abenaki, Mi'Kmaq, Maliseet...

My guesses a while back were similar.

Wow - this plus the Levee Development will be huge.

Still looks great. Good infill for the spot.

I often thought the Grand Trunk Train Station could have made a great public market. Instead Portland tore it down and now has a wastewater pump. Sexy.

Crane and pile of dirt spotted at UNE

If we want an accurate depiction of Portland we should just show them an empty parking lot or a building being torn down.
