From SPACE’s block party this past summer.

A friendly reminder that there are downtown Portland neighborhoods other than the Old Port. (Yay, Arts District!) And also that there is a thriving arts scene in Portland contributing a lot to the city’s vibrancy (ineffable) and economy (tangible).

The Arts District has better restaurants, too. 😉

In honor of the acquisition of AirTran by Southwest and it seems general excitement amongst Portlanders about Southwest coming to the Portland JetPort.

The jet in this picture’s actually over the Casco Bay Bridge, but at this point everyone looking at this blog is sick of the Casco Bay Bridge, right?

This trestle leads up to the swing bridge, currently unused, spanning Back Cove’s opening into Casco Bay and connecting Portland’s East End with East Deering.

In the afternoon people fish from the trestle.
