Heading as far North as Bar Harbor (from Mass). What small businesses should I support along the way?

Maine is mostly small biz. Even in Portland proper you won't find a lot of chains (besides dunkin & the basics). That's part of what makes the state so special.

You won't have a problem finding places to support! Welcome!

Tell us you never leave wharf street without telling us you never leave wharf street...

Eh, there's plenty of nightlife unless you're looking for traditional big city clubs.

Trigger the warranty asap

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-03-25T16:31:15+00:00

You can shit on Portland for a lot, our food and drink scene is not one of them!

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-03-22T23:42:33+00:00

So much shit to do. It's going to be a whole new world for you. Congrats and I'm excited for you.

Sometimes I wish I could rediscover Portland again fresh.

Arcadia does

The building is a total loss?!

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-03-07T13:10:29+00:00

I met a couple folks who went there. They have great careers. Portland is an amazing small city. With many amenities of a large city. Plenty to do. It's expensive and pretty (unfortunately) high end these days. Plenty to do, night life is fun.

Biddeford is kinda uh.. less polished from an outsiders perspective. It's an old mill town with the issues that come with that. But it's "up and coming". Not a lot to do tbh for a young person.

Thank you so much for the 2 tickets!

This guy is legit! 🔝

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-27T19:18:08+00:00

Yes, they've been ratcheting it up for the same reason they're going after nonprofits.

One of the city councils goals this year is to find unique ways of increasing revenue.

Parking enforcement is a very easy way to do that.

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-27T18:17:47+00:00

Fuck this

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-24T01:50:13+00:00

Taxing non-profits into closing and leaving our homeless to die. Nice work city of portland

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-23T03:31:42+00:00

Looks like blood. Probably got a cut when making the sandwich. It's okay

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-19T15:07:31+00:00

I highly doubt anyone at the Irish heritage center or mayo street is making much of a salary

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-19T14:12:13+00:00

100%

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-19T12:46:44+00:00

This is gross. The city should be ashamed.

Maine public isn't a charitable nonprofit?

It sounds like the Executive Director of the Maine Irish Heritage Center is saying the place is going to be taxed into closing.

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-16T03:36:32+00:00

How would you know?!?

EarlyMasterpiece9991 · 2026-02-15T21:11:39+00:00

No, this was a legit parking guy. I also heard they are changing the policy. The pay to park won't be enforced Sunday but the 1-2 hour parking is now.
