Colin,
Portland only used to be known for the Navy a few years ago, since then its gone into rapid decline, the olympic sailing is maybe the thing that will put it on the map again and rejuvenate the area a bit.

Yep theres not many good things that happen for Portland but the Olympics may one of them.
I think for us it was just being in the right place at the right time
Dont think i'll be a millionaire from it, but nice to be involved in a small way.
Fortunately I dont live at Portland any more but have finally moved to Dorchester after having my place for sale for 4 years, so at least the traffic wont affect us as bad as i imagined it might,
Regards
Steve
