My priority would be decent accessible seating. Right now, the choices are the courtside seats, or a wheelchair section that is slightly elevated, but behind the premium boxes so you can't see below the players' knees, where a lot of the action is. (Hard to follow the ball when you lose sight...

Listening to the workshop, a couple of things: They're working on getting approval for the private road layout and utilities for this phase. First planned buildings will be the SR and SG, being the apartments and parking garage. They'll be putting in the site plan applications for that shortly...

Here's a quick comparison of the plan to be discussed tomorrow night, vs the plan from the cancelled meeting in December. I suppose the biggest thing to keep in mind is that all of this is conceptual and each building will need its own site plan review, etc. Also, North is to the right, West is...

I looked... the state bond issue referenced in those articles (that RR was hoping to get a piece of) was LD 969 in the 130th Legislature, and it got a unanimous ONTP vote in committee and unceremoniously died.

To be fair, the current renderings are for the draft master plan and massing only, not final designs. I don't believe they're really going for White City. And the "in the quarry" ideas were before the fire department told them "absolutely the F not!" They originally had plans for a convention...

Rock Row workshop docs are posted. I notice that Cinemark's name is nowhere to be seen, and they state that "Building T" (the proposed entertainment center building) won't have a final configuration until they have a confirmed tenant. I worry that Cinemark dropped out once they discovered they...

(emphasis added)... 879 Congress LLC bought the apartment building in 2017 for $442,500, and they bought the vacant lot in 2020 for $145,000.... making a total recorded purchase price for both properties of $587,500... PHDC is asking for approval of a loan to buy them at no more than $1.2...

Not to mention Back Cove, which does have a passthrough under 295 at Franklin St. in addition to Preble.

I thought initially this was the Sportsman's lot, which Maine Health also owns. Interesting that they're apparently flipping the lot to the city (anyone want to check the purchase price history?) rather than developing it themselves.

The city has a survey up soliciting opinions for what to do with the Midtown parcel. It's refreshingly brief.

Everyplace the MD comes near Sebago is within the Portland Water District's protected watershed; you'd get many more recreation opportunities by bringing Cape back into Metro and restoring summer bus service to Crescent Beach. Fryeburg is a substantial draw one week a year. And if there wasn't a...

The reasons for Site 3 have to do with a) still needing access to the maintenance facility at PTC, and b) Maine Health (Maine Medical Center et al) owns Site 2 and has no interest in giving it up for a train station (and they can afford far better lawyers than NNEPRA can). There's also the fact...

Re: Salisbury, I hadn't thought to blow it up looking for clues... but did they wrap the tower around a couple of old facades?

I don't think NNEPRA is as done with Site 3 as we thought; they've got an analysis (PDF warning) of SItes 2 and 3 from Bernstein Shur that is of course strongly in favor of Site 3, and it does raise one additional point I don't think we discussed here: putting a second platform on the west side...

I drove through Rutland once in 1984, so I was never going to get it (I was looking at Bentonville).

I note that, as of right now, the April 7 meeting is NOT on the Portland Planning Board schedule, so probably it won't cover the land east of the line? I can't imagine Portland would give Westbrook approval authority without at least a presentation from the developers.

Sisters would be giving up a huge chunk of their revenue opportunities if they miss the morning rush. That neon-esque signage is pretty slick, though! The market is going downstairs? That's unfortunate, in that the "place to grab something quick and a bottle of water" would be on the wrong side...

We finally get a Qdoba back and it's (presumably) going behind the security perimeter????? So: assumptions and predictions... Luke's goes where Linda Bean is now That puts the new pub in the BK spot The "Portland Market" kiosk is likely to be in the Great American Bagel spot (the most...

Which sport is that for between softball and the track & field layout? Lacrosse? Also, I like the way the photo implies that shortly after crossing the river, you are plunged into eternal darkness and then fall off the edge of the earth.....

Sometimes appearances can be deceiving... (Spoiling in case someone wants to get it more fairly...)
