    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    The ticketed waiting room is for travelers on any of the three railroads serving the station: Amtrak, LIRR, NJ Transit — and regional rail travelers on all lines are actively in the mix of Moynihan users.

    So helpful to see some of their finished projects – especially their "Hawkins" building in Oregon, which appears to be an inspiration – to get a better sense of potential quality, materiality and finish. Thank you for sharing!

    From the US League One website, they’re drawing a connection to globally recognized teams — they did their research:

    Portland Museum of Art Expansion | Portland

    Opinion: Portland Museum of Art appears to have lost its way Stinging opinion piece from former PMA director points to weak stewardship by the current director — and a related story again points out the current salary (>$300k and supposedly 20% less than last year).

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Exciting to see the concept and massing proposed! I hope that, as it evolves, the facades get more texture and some variation in pattern. In this image, the left side (facing the park) looks most satisfying: The windows appear more closely spaced, their rhythm broken up to align with the...

    The undulating facade of this big project in a low-rise neighborhood, combined with the materials, made me wonder again what might be in store for 165 Washington. :cool: A New Building Aims to Be a Good Neighbor in Low-Rise Neighborhood
