I don't want to change anything to suit the other Portland. 😂 However, I do remember when it was officially "Edmund S. Muskie International Airport" for about a week. (People complained about it suddenly being named after a politician instead of the city, and Secretary Muskie then said that...

MHT's big day in the sun was when it was "Southwest for Boston". After SW went into Logan proper, they lost their big advantage, and PWM is now competitive enough (and has SW) that there's no compelling reason to fly Manch Vegas instead of Stroudwater.

Just restore the compass points markers that used to indicate the corners of the original City Hall, probably in granite rather than brass so they stand less chance of getting stolen for scrap. Monument Square is, or should be, the business center of Maine, and this doesn't fit.

Not to mention the 4 out by the Turnpike (Hampton Inn, Motel 6, Fireside Inn and Ramada). Same deal as regards fringe location, plus at least one is somewhat sketchy.

I don't believe the B&M building is officially historic, but it appears that Northeastern has chosen to preserve it in a way that's substantially similar to the factory that a lot of Portlanders had an attachment to, whether because they worked there, or smelled the ovens regularly, or had a...

Forbes has decided that Jim Brady's new Evalina Hotel Is posh enough to cover. 215 Commercial, so apparently the door is in the tiny building that blocked the remnant of Lime Street and killed The Portland Greengrocer (they needed access to the back alley). Sounds like the rooms extend into the...

Does anyone else remember when the spot next to what is now Nosh (I believe it's the home to Another Round now, per GSV) had a big neon sign for Roger's Jewelers, the sign painted in the windows said Carter Bros., and I believe it was actually the intown home of G.M. Pollack? Also, I'll note...

If that two-story section gets a roof deck, that's going to be gorgeous in the summer! Assuming the wind isn't coming off the sewage plant, at least.

Update: the Westbrook Planning Board has scheduled a meeting for May 19th (their "if needed" second meeting slot in the month) with the Rock Row item from last week plus a presentation by the city planners on the agenda.

I've seen a render of the building Avesta wants to put up at the Tortilla Flat site in Riverton, but they're essentially just replacing the restaurant farmhouse with something that looks like every other Avesta building so I'm not taking the trouble to post it.

I noticed that big piece coming towards the Bean building the other day, pretty much from this angle. I didn't realize the building had that additional volume!

I saw a return trip that went through Myrtle Beach and Akron-Canton. It's an interesting operations plan but I'm not sure the savings are worth the time it adds to the trip. Definitely not for my family!

Thanks; that part was indeed deliberate ;) . Closest state capitol building I could find to the dome shown in your latet is Sacramento's, and that doesn't fit at all.

The first time I flew out of it was 1978; it might have had its first expansion but it was definitely pre- jet ways.

I'll just say, it was not my intent to be tricksy.... The pages I saw said that the Alworth was the tallest in the state at the time it was built, without qualification. Glad you got it!

It is a port city, east of the Mississippi. 😊

Rock Row's current plan doesn't call for housing in the one lot they have in Portland, so that wouldn't matter anyway.

Planning Board update: due to the length of the agenda at last night's meeting, Rock Row got bumped to an upcoming session (either May 19 or the first June meeting depending on theirs and the Board's availability).

This relatively new building took the title of "tallest in the city" from another, which was surprisingly the tallest in its state when it was built.

Gotcha! Uniontown, PA! Nice! (It was more the "iconic fast food item" that got it for me, as I just saw a Big Mac Anniversary post.
