No matter what they do, this is STILL our song...

That's how you get things built in Portland. Show a depiction of the shorter height section or if the full one, or 18 story (The Casco), a wide angle shot so that it looks like its falling back or away. Lol.

I think that soon Portland will have more 4 and 5 story new residential buildings than any other city in the world!

I kind of agree with you. Although it could have been made into temporary space with colorful shipping containers, etc. like they've done in Boston's Seaport District. All that you need to do for the middle is unroll a big carpet of artificial grass to sit and drink and eat on, along with the...

Will do. I'll reference the communication.

Las Vegas has less than half the population of the Boston area with more than 10 million more in passenger counts. It's also, like Portland not a hub or connecting flight city. We've seen how tourism and other visitor traffic can provide a big boost to an airport (Orlando too). The Portland area...

Question. When does PWM overtake Bradley for the number 2 spot in New England? Surely Hartford/Springfield can't be seeing much of an increase in tourism, yes? And population growth percent?

Be careful with murals in a large or prominent city. I know enough about this form of expression as I managed a large mural project with one of more dynamic mural artists in the country. And it was not this one below, thank God. This was in the early stages of A.I. image generation and as you...

Take it down, please. THIS is how you do it, Rixy (Frank Frazetta).

These lots in the heart of the city require professional urban planning. Allowing city councilors to decide on this, who don't need experience at anything really--except somehow getting elected--is foolish and maybe even malicious.

This is becoming a beast from the freeway vantage point. Seriously now, I got a 46-story dorm/hotel idea for them in 2031, if they're interested; 230 hotel rooms and 1,440 single occupancy micro rooms. The hotel rooms are for single term faculty, lecturers, and shorter-term students. Imagine the...

NNEPRA is determined to build on that horrible location idea for a new station on the no-man's (or woman's) plot next to the chicken parts slaughtering house. They are feeling heat from some elitist Brunswick passengers who want a reduced 15 minute trip each way. They also want a Falmouth...

Need a tax... let's see, 120 million lobster rolls served each year... $1 per roll as no on will notice because they're already like, what? $35 a roll? Borrow over a 30 year term and now you've got some capital to work with.

That's essentially what the Big Dig in Boston did, eliminating a roadway to put it underground, then create a park above, The Rose Kennedy Greenway (which is magnificent, I might add). The final cost? $24.3 billion. Ouch.

Another route once in SoPo would be to see Portland Head Light. I believe that many tourists including cruise ship passengers like to see that, along with LL Bean and the Maine Mall. So for cruise ship passengers, they would be getting back on another boat! (As some already do from eating lunch...

A cool sighting last Wednesday... four F/A-18 Hornets on the tarmac at MAC Jets (had a meeting at ReVision next door).

MarkHB, that's not crazy, it's smart. I was in Boston last week and they now have some double decker buses (like NYC) in addition to the large duck boat ones. A double decker bus is a bit of an overkill for Portland, though I do hate the current corny shuttle ones and that silly fire truck that...

Irrespective of who is more correct in the aforementioned debate--and I think it's good that we are doing that--the irrefutable fact is that punishing a builder by telling them what they can and can not price units at is wrong. When I lived in LA a while back, I had a friend in Santa Monica with...

I have an architect relative pricing out a 5 unit/6 story condo build in Portland and construction costs are steep. The crackdown on immigrants in the last year has also contributed with laborers who do things like framing, drywall and roofing. I know of someone who had a new roof put on their...

Thank you Lord for Jim Brady and Redfern.
