Up Above Exchange Street

A unique view looking down Exchange Street from the City Hall clock tower this morning. The top of City Hall was one of 12 "secret spots" around town as part of the Magical History Tour by the Maine Historical Society. You may notice the sign for the soon-to-open Press Hotel in this photo as well. Check out this page on their site, where I am profiled as a Portlander of note.
