Park Ave.

An impromptu shot of the Portland Exposition Building (The Expo) and a portion of Hadlock Field, home to the AA Boston Red Sox affiliate the Portland Sea Dogs. Also prominent in the picture are a lot of power lines which would look better underground.

The expo is 'the 2nd oldest arena in continuous operation in the United States,' and opened in 1915 according to their website. Pretty neat stuff. They have a lot of high school basketball games and things like that there now, as most bigger events need the space of the civic center.

  1. Do you go to many Sea Dogs games? It would be nice to live near a minor league team, where the cost isnt a budget buster.

  2. Nice photo of a place that must work to have stayed there for such a long time.

  3. I tend to 'block out' power lines, except when trying to take a picture. Taking pictures has shown me how much I 'block them out' daily. -sigh-

  4. Thanks for the comments! I don't go to as many as I'd like, but I often make it to a few games a year. Compared to the majors it is a amazingly cheap and family friendly atmosphere.
