    Portland is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maine and the seat of Cumberland County. Portland's population was 66,215 as of 2019. The Greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, the 105th-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Portland's economy relies mostly on the service sector and tourism. The Old Port district is known for its 19th-century architecture and nightlife. Marine industry still plays an important role in the city's economy, with an active waterfront that supports fishing and commercial shipping. The Port of Portland is the second-largest tonnage seaport in New England.
    The city seal depicts a phoenix rising from ashes, a reference to recovery from four devastating fires. Portland was named after the English Isle of Portland, Dorset. In turn, the city of Portland, Oregon was named after Portland, Maine. The word Portland is derived from the Old English word Portlanda, which means "land surrounding a harbor".

    I am originally from Korea, but I lived in Portland for little over a year because of work. I came back in August 2020 but never have been able to go back to visit due to COVID. I miss the time in Portland so much, and. it makes me really happy to see the town again! Thanks for the video :)

    3 mins in and Not one piece of paper on the ground or other form of trash .. I am extremely impressed. Sadly so many of America's cities today are filthy, with trash strewn all along the sides of the roads and sidewalks -- like people do not care what their neighborhoods look like. But not all -- some cities, you see the apt. dwellers out with their brooms in the morning.

      Comparing it to the 80's when I went back in 2014 it was dumpy junk in many yards around many buildings. I was not impressed. Many Somalians moved there. I spoke with one whose family and relatives of nine were following him out. They did not live as we did. Junky yards didn't bother them. Many Somalians moved there. I wouldn't move back. Trashy. Has that changed today?

    Correct me if I wm not right, but I think you have been driving a Tesla or other another eV. So quiet.
    Metro shall in the spring of 2022 be getting two e-buses to test out that is going into regular service. It is a start, I had thought all along that Portland (ME) had some tram lines, I suppose that I have been confusing with the other Portland on the West Coast (they do, plus a funiculat). I only hope that Portland decides to go eventually all electric, be it with E-buses, trolleybuses, trams or indeed a metro (maybe even a monorail system) and become an all electric transport city! Now especially in light of this Climate Disaster we all are now experiencing.

      It definitely can be cold, and expensive to live in (or around) Portland. Decent wages and good jobs are not great anywhere in Maine. A lot of old houses have character and charm, but they’re not very warm.
      It’s not for everyone.

Because you’ll have a few clean spots in your city, now you think it’s more developed than any American city? Yeah you’re delusional son
