First, nice post Grant. Read that article a few days ago and was as equally impressed. There’s two underlying wants driving Politico’s original article: 1) for someone, somewhere to start liking Obama like they did during the campaign and 2) for Obama to become Josiah Bartlett (or Roosevelt). In the meantime, people need to just be happy because anything less than those two things will be disappointing. Which is why this weekend was so cool.
I can’t say I’ve followed this story with any zeal so I can’t say whether NextEra Energy Maine is right in tearing this structure down but after reviewing the pictures I’m sad to see progress.

A quick Google found this picture circa 1910. (source http://www.vintagemaineimages.com/bin/Detail?ln=12148)
This is a nice Flickr slideshow of the area … makes me want to head up to northern Maine this gorgeous New England weekend. Have a good weekend MuGazers.
