Portland, Maine - Fall 2023

Another Portland, Maine photo dump! Yes, I know! lol
My apologies if you're getting tired of these.


For those of you who haven't seen my other threads, or don't know much about Portland, Maine, here's some quick info: Portland (city population 68,408; urban area 205,356; metro 556,893) is the largest city and metro area in the state of Maine, and the cultural and economic hub of Northern New England.
It may not be a large city by other state's standards, but 40% of Maine's population lives in the Portland metro area.

Anyway, these encompass most of the photos I've taken of Portland, Maine from August-October of this year.
Most of these were taken in the Arts District, Bayside, Parkside and West End neighborhoods.



























































These next few are from a walk starting in Knightville (in South Portland), over the Casco Bay Bridge, and ending in Portland's West End
























Here are some examples of Portland's typical wood-frame multifamily housing, as seen in various neighborhoods. Even though Portland has a reputation as a city of brick, the majority of its housing stock are actually wood-framed buildings such as these. This style of housing is common in most urban areas across New England. The narrow, three-story buildings are known as Three Deckers (or Triple Deckers), which are a common form of urban housing in New England. They are essentially stacked flats, with one identical apartment per floor.

Thank you for sharing Portland with us. That city (and area) has a very special place in my heart.

Bayside is looking better than it has in the past.

Still trying to get used to the new tall building near One City Center.

Good to see Portland MN as a metropolis with a metropolitan vibe.
