Pickleball is all the rage with Maine seniors. I know nothing about it, but assume this is involved.
An overturned large jar of pickles and a crushed nip of whiskey.

If a dog escapes in Bath, 40+ people will not only know the dog, but have strong opinions on whether he’s the goodest boy or a menace and also everything the dog’s owner has done wrong since kindergarten.

While Susan Collin’s has done much for BIW, the Yahd workers are going to suffer much more under the Trump policies she’s endorsed. This was her carrot on a stick.

My mega MAGA Mom is mistaken for Janet Mills on a monthly basis. Proud of Janet Mills for standing up to a tyrant and excited for my Mom to find out how horrible Maine MAGA people can be when it’s targeted at her.

It’s hard to believe that after waiting 28 years to become Appropriations Chair, one of the first things Senator Collins is going to do is vote for an OMB director who plans to subvert the appropriations process #mepolitics

When River Bottom Video closed in Bath, I wept. When the one Redbox in town went still, frozen in a gentler time, I laughed and borrowed a Blu-Ray from the library.

Maine has had pizza for ages. Which makes the lingering presence of Pat’s Pizza, literally just cardboard with expired Chef Boyardee Beefaroni sauce, so baffling.

Maine Needs started with a Facebook group in 2019. In 2020, founder Angela Stone opened the donation center on Forest Avenue. But the nonprofit has expanded into every possible corner there and long since reached its capacity. Now it's moving next year to a new location four times the size.

After a flood of requests, Maine Needs will move into a bigger space
The nonprofit needs more room in order to make a dent in a continuous backlog of 250-plus requests for donations.

Just before the last ship returned to England in the fall of 1607, leaving the Popham colonists to face a brutal Maine winter, the colonists reached out to a nearby friendly Indian named Nahaniida.
