New for the blogroll: Future Freeport, a blog about place, community, and quality economic development in Freeport, Maine. Here are some recent interesting posts:
- on transit-oriented development opportunities in advance of the 2010 expansion of Downeaster passenger rail service to Freeport and Brunswick;
- on why the hell is the Apple Store putting its first Maine location at the Maine Mall, our suburban wasteland of crappy franchise restaurants, agoraphobia-inducing parking fields, and overpriced Chinese textiles? The Maine Mall is a PC - one that's well on its way to a permanent blue-screen of death. Downtown Freeport, Peter argues (or downtown Portland, say I), is more fitting for a Mac.
