The U-Haul building in East Bayside, which was originally a Ford dealership when it was completed in 1963, has been listed by Greater Portland Landmarks in its 2017 Places in Peril. I'm not sure how deep the love for Mid-Century Modern architecture runs among the powers that be, but I love...

Could Westbrook be host to Maine's first Costco and Greater Portland's first Market Basket? And what is that other large building for? http://www.pressherald.com/2015/09/17/plan-for-large-shopping-center-in-westbrook-shrinks-slightly/
