Hi Jim, I agree this would really dress that area up quite a bit. As it stands, the street has come a long way, but more is needed. This would bring a different element to it for sure. I hope it gets built.
Hope the Westin gets permission to construct the Ballroom/Event Center in the park. To me, this could be the most significant development for Congress Street since Two Monument Square was built in 1981. Congress Street could use a new shot in the arm and this project would compliment the PMA and class that part of town up considerably. Wish I was still a Portland resident so I could be more pro-active.
This is Patrick, I use the name Portland Arch when I discuss things that I wouldn't want my name to be attached to publicly, such as items currently before the planning board, which I sit on. I wouldn't like to be perceived as taking an advocacy role or being susceptible to influence from any one direction, so I use this name. You may certainly use the photos, thanks again for asking.

Who do you think named a lot of the names on the Wikipedia MBTA article?
Hello, I have seen your photos of Portland here on archboston.org. And would like your permission to post some of them on my FaceBook site: Portland Maine History 1786 To Present. Patrick said it would be OK with him, and I just wanted to get your approval as well. I would give you or archboston.org credit for the post of the photo, whatever you deem appropriate.
I await your reply,
