The heart of it is concentrated among historic districts (Old Port, Arts District, Financial District for example) and areas (West End, East End, Eastern Waterfront, India Street for example) on the Portland Peninsula. The peninsula is also home to state-of- the-art medical centers and hospitals as well as universities, colleges and museums. Portland’s natural deep water port rivals New York, Boston and Philadel- phia for oil and cargo shipments. It’s Ocean Gateway Terminal is used for deep water berthing of some of the largest cruise ships in the world during the sum- mer and early fall months. The International Marine Terminal underwent a $5 million reconstruction project. This project is to increase cargo handling capacity from 50 containers per week to 200 per week and expand the pier and cargo container storage.

Portland Area 111 COMMERCIAL STREET, PORTLAND, MAINE The historic seaport of Portland, Maine’s largest urban area, is perched on Casco Bay with its many island and coastal com- munities. This region is as celebrated for its arts and entertainment scene as it is for its walking and biking trails; as renowned for its local cuisine as for its access to outdoor adventures. Creative, exciting, happening, fun—it’s all here. Portland’s Waterfront is a whirl of activity, as it has been for centuries. Walking trails, trolley tours, bay cruises, lobster-boat rides, historic schooners and is- land ferries all start here. Enjoy the many pubs and seafood restaurants. Walk the Eastern Prom Trail for stunning bay views. The Old Port is a lively shopping district with cobblestone streets, boutiques, gal- leries and restaurants in renovated historic buildings. Stroll up Exchange Street, then head toward Monument Square for seasonal Farmers’ Markets and the childhood home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The Arts District, anchored by Portland Museum of Art, hosts galleries, antique shops, studios and theaters clustered around Congress Street. Visit the Children’s Museum of Maine, and don’t miss First Friday Art Walks. Portland Freedom Trail takes you to 16 historic sites important in Maine's anti-slavery struggle. A self-guided tour helps you learn about our state's role in the Underground Railroad and the abolitionist movement. Casco Bay - and the Calendar Islands that dot the bay - is Greater Portland’s maritime playground. Take a ferry to Peaks Island or cruise to Eagle Island to visit the summer estate of arctic explorer Admiral Robert E. Peary. Explore by kayak or sailboat or relax on a sunset cruise around the harbor. MAINE RESTAURANT WEEK (March 1-10, 2014) - http://www.mainerestaurantweek.com/ Celebrates the statewide restaurant community. During this week restaurants offer specially priced 3-course menus. Chefs work hard year round to take care of their customers. During this week, they go above and beyond. The concept originated in NYC about 20 years ago and caught on in Maine in 2009.

In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.
