    Well, they're adding 11 new routes out of FLL, but none of those are Portland.

    The Amazon distribution center is up for its first public hearing tonight. I have no idea on video availability.

    Portland Music Hall | Cumberland Avenue

    I took the trouble of looking up the actual case materials; the verdict is at https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.621993/gov.uscourts.nysd.621993.1417.0.pdf . This was a civil action, not criminal; the verdict was by a preponderance of the evidence, no one has been...

    Portland Music Hall | Cumberland Avenue

    A year or two ago, I had a chance to talk to someone from Live Nation (a regular employee, not an "official spokesperson") and ask them, beyond owning Ticketmaster, what they actually do. His answer was essentially, if an act wants to go on tour, they can go to Live Nation and they'll set up...

    BUT... at the very least it's a solid POC for another airline who might want to take a look!

    Portland Passenger Rail

    We could get into the advantages of being in the Amtrak network ticketing system, etc. etc., but the single biggest thing Amtrak brings to the table is that legally, the railroads that own the tracks can't refuse them. They can b*tch and complain and negotiate and whine about the liability...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    Taking the early train in as I have done from time to time, the busy stops after Portland are Wells and Exeter. The latter really seems to act like an extension of the T commuter rail at this point.

    I am willing to believe that the one person in Nason's Corner is the same one who said of the Rock Row concerts, "If I can hear it, it's too loud." If I weren't lazy, I'd paste in the URL of a real estate search for Wytopitlock to help that person out.

    Nice! It's also really noticeable from the Turnpike overpass now, too, which the old platform wasn't. I wouldn't be surprised to see a big Downeaster logo sign on the overpass facing the highway by the time they're done.

    Infill and Small Developments | Portland

    The most recent Planning Board meeting had a workshop on a request to rezone 1220 Brighton Ave., the former Denny's lot, from TOD-2 (transit-oriented) to B-4 to allow a potential restaurant with a drive-through. It's interesting that the properties across the street (Motel-6 and that part of the...

    I'm hoping it's AI slop and, not having a chance to give a person three arms at unnatural angles, it just chose to leave off the doors instead.l

    For anyone who is interested, I managed to find the Planning Board meeting recording at https://vimeo.com/showcase/westbrookmeetings?video=1180986441 ; Rock Row starts at around 1:11:45 and I'd ask that you please forgive the audio difficulties when I asked my question about the movie theater 😊

    Port of Portland | Working waterfront and future developments

    Does anyone know what happened to the idea of putting an additional cruise pier at the end of India Street? Or, for that matter, the proposed boardwalk along Thames St, for artists and other street-sellers to set up on?

    The old S-Curves, today the Park & Ride lot, were definitely intended to be part of that cloverleaf.
