    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    (I cheated on DZH's entry) This is, so far as I can tell, the tallest habitable building in this historic City in the Great Plains, well-known for its lawmen both real and fictional.

    Was Air Georgian flying under the Air Canada banner? I remember them flying to Toronto. Also, that got me to look at the list of preclearance airports and now my head is fantasizing an Emirates non-stop to and from Abu Dhabi! 😂

    Is it the Cross Lines Tower in Kansas City, Kansas?

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    Is the hotel taller than the museum? IOW, is it blocking part of the view from the camera obscura? (Yet another reason I wish I had managed a visit to the old location where that device had something to see...)

    Damn, those were some pretty snazzy room configurations! I always thought that place was cool with the metal framework over the driveway (which I didn't realize, driving by, was apparently an elevated walkway).

    Coincidentally, Zayre (and presumably later Ames) had their district offices across the parking lot, in the South Portland store that is now Dick's.

    My first guess was Wabash, Indiana, of Cannonball fame, but the airport clue doesn't line up.

    That 1972 photo is interesting, as it plainly shows the old route of Temple St., as well as what the area looked like before Spring was extended past Center. The High St. Greyhound must not have lasted long if it was built in the late 60's; I'm pretty sure it moved to St John shortly after the...

    I barely remember it, but the Greyhound station!

    The under-construction pic shows us so many actually useful stores... State Drug (which was an actual pharmacy), Paul's Food Center, Alpha-Delta House of Pizza in the little spot that was Vinland for a bit.... My Mom remembered the Walgreen's from when she was going to PHS. When they opened up...

    Shaw's was in the area of Mall Plaza which was most recently DSW when the shopping center opened. It later moved to Jetport Plaza IIRC, taking over what was originally Heartland Food Warehouse, an early effort by Purity Supreme. That's the Burlington space. When they left there, they went to the...

    Portland Music Hall | Cumberland Avenue

    Hopefully it goes through, although I wonder what it will do for the planned indoor/outdoor performance space at Rock Row (which was also supposed to be a Live Nation venue). I have to wonder what the alleged threat to local venues is; it's not like they're booking national acts now (even CIA...

    Hey it me. Kudos for being old enough to remember when Shaw's was in that plaza! (Also, I'll shoutout "Greater Bookland" which was that chain's last attempt at competing with Borders, and hell.... I go back to when the Verizon was a Bonanza.) I'd hate to lose Friendly's (there are so few of...
