Changing Munjoy
Munjoy Hill is changing. Condos are going up. Rents are going up. Lots of remodeling jobs are on going. The Hill is a pretty densely populated section of the city that overlooks Casco Bay and downtown with Eastern Prom at the very top. The Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Organization (MHNO) is a group that attempts to keep the streets vibrant, diverse and fun-filled. The neighborhood even has a monthly newspaper, "The Munjoy Observer", that keeps residents informed of issues, events and what's new to the streets. When I was in high school, the Hill was one tough place to grow up, at least that what I gathered from friends who lived there. These days there seems to be an evolution in progress. It's one of the places you want to be.
Buildings go up.
Streets change.
Life moves forward.
A city breathes.
Hope that light from the lighthouse isn't going to keep me awake at night. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's Portland Observatory to the right. Built in 1807, it the last surviving maritime signal tower.

It's true Birdman and as long as things change up for the better it's all good.
ReplyDeletethe latest 'trendy spot'. i hope it lasts.
ReplyDeleteThere definitely is a cycle to city life.
ReplyDeleteWe have some neighbourhoods here that have had a bit of a rough reputation, but are in the process of renewal now.
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to see an area become revitalized!
ReplyDeleteChange can be good sometimes. There are some areas here that are being revitalized too, which is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI find some of the similar changes in my city quite exciting.
ReplyDeleteI love Munjoy Hill, from before & with the changes...but will it eventually only be affordable for the very rich to live there?
ReplyDeleteThis place looks modular.
