The Casco | 201 Federal Street | Portland

I cropped the plans from the building permit, but it mentioned their name on it.
 
Where is the "end unit" located? Is it the retail space on Temple Street or at the east end of Federal Street?

Are you assuming it’s rosemont from the layout or did I miss their name scanning around ? Anybody but them .

Why "anybody but them"? (I have no skin in the game, but I'm curious.)
 
I say anyone but because they have one up the hill and already closed one down on commercial. And it’s not a practical daily go to store/. Walk through a rosemont then walk through bow street in Freeport and that’s the difference in being practical . Be nice to have one place downtown that is a daily needs place and not just 40 dollar lobster theme salt shaker or 3 dollar avocado you’d find at our current places. God forbid we let one of those urban mini Targets set up.

I personally think an Amato's would have been a perfect fit and their store on India Street is far enough away from Temple as to not impact sales. Not familiar enough with Rosemont or Bow Street to have an opinion either way but I'm happy to see the space finally leased.
 
I'll happily take a Rosemont. Especially if it's a "flagship" location with a wider selection and a coffee bar as shown on the building permit plans. This looks like it will be larger than their locations in the West End and Munjoy Hill. It's a good location for a place that has fresh produce and staple items for residents and "grab-and-go" options for office workers.

I'd much rather have a Rosemont than another trendy bar/restaurant called "Feast & Thistle" or something
 
The only Rosemont location I regularly go by is the Morrill's Corner one in the old Plywood Ranch building, and that's a warehouse / commissary / bakery, not an actual retail location. But, I do think they should rename the "Rosemont Brighton Ave." store as "Rosemont Rosemont".

Pocket Park getting close but even more exciting news! We have someone for the retail space! And I am really excited about it!!! It’s right up our alley. Local. Great person. Hoping they are up and running by July. ~ C
 
If you could add maybe one thing here for kids (or if you haven't). Something safe, and something to occupy their time so that mom or dad can sit and rest for a bit. The intermittent ground level water fountain burst thing is good, but you'd need more room for that. Perhaps you've already done this, but everyone should walk the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. It's brilliant public space design.
 
See the kitchen/cooler stuff going in to the newly leased first floor space. I heard it’s not Rosemont . Can you give us a hint?
