Great context!

The workshop for Buildings Y and YB is indeed slated for this upcoming week. The only documents posted so far are the application and site plan, with no elevations or renderings.... This is to the immediate west (more or less) of the hotel, and south of and across the street from the...

I remember actually going to that track once, when I was very small! My aunt and her family used to live in that area (they no longer have the house in question). When the bypass was first built, you could easily see the old track on either side when driving through it. That's mostly hidden...

Amazon proposes to build a 146,280 sq. ft. warehouse and distribution center on Route 25 in Gorham, just west of the intersection with Route 237. Planning Board has already granted the requested waivers regarding the number of curb cuts and underground utilities (saying running wires underground...

What happened to your pic of the Los Angeles signboard?

Enroute to an Undisclosed Location? :giggle:

Personally, I'm a big fan of the mid-century stuff (and I love that older lettering in the second photo) and wish it would stay!

The original Route 7 was named Veranda St., and ran via Forest and Ocean Aves. to Lunt's Corner, and then to Veranda via Washington. Personally, I think they should restore that routing, bringing back service to Back Cove and Cheverus. BREEZ could run via Franklin. That leaves the Nines, and...

I mean, if you're coming towards the waterfront area from Tukey's Bridge, and have the option of taking the Eastern Prom to get there... why would you not? Signed, someone who has done that many times :) .

I'm glad you got the pic of the departure for Los Angeles! I had thought about doing that but got way too busy. Were you able to get the San Francisco board as well?

Back on the PB schedule for July 7 with a workshop on Buildings Y and YB, directly across from the apartment / parking garage combo they already submitted. I would anticipate packet materials going up next Thursday....

I recall, too, that in the 80's (I think), Landmarks did a survey of the Congress St. downtown corridor, looking at the buildings and assessing their historical importance, etc. They weren't strictly sticking to "save the old stuff!"; they specifically said that at that point, the vertical...

I should clarify in case anyone misread it (as I did when I just returned to the thread), I meant "windy" as in "winding," not as in "windswept" 🤣

It has been there as long as I can remember, and I just found a photo of it being there in 1970, so it probably goes back at least into the 1960's.

... Do not appear to be less ugly.

The intent was to build a parking garage and the new arena behind what they call Brick North, with the old Suburban Propane office as the ticketing office and arena entrance. Here's the plan from 2016; the arena is labeled "Event Center" I totally agree with the egress via the single, windy...

Looks like some Scottish spirit made it to Libbytown!

As someone who did not attend Orono, how much of a tailgating culture is there at their games? Because if it's much of a thing, that kind of negates the garage idea, at least for football.

The X-rated operator had a 20-year lease on the State Theater that ended in 1990, after which it got the first, community-led renovation and extensive cleaning. I remember my mother taking me to see Snow White there when I was small; it was, of course, still the big, old-fashioned movie palace...

"The primary interconnection hub of Portland." At least it looks like it could be mysterious... the primary interconnection hub for New England is literally
