Overview

Portland has an amazing history that stretches back over 350 years, and this wonderful town has blossomed into the largest city in Maine. This close-knit community is second only to San Francisco when it comes to restaurants per capita. Old brick buildings and cobblestone streets still exist, and the blend of past and present in Portland is exhilarating. In addition to the prevalence of dining facilities, there are an unbelievable number of stores and shopping ...

i never knew what a great city portland, maine is! it is beautiful and has great restaurants. what more can you ask from a city?

We were in Portland, Maine today. Not too much there. The old Portland burnt down completely in the 1600s and then was built back up through 1700s / 1800s. The Old Port looked lovely, proper New England style fishing port.

We stopped at an "As seen on TV" sticky buns restaurant. It was very cute...and evidently the sticky buns were the best around! So...we had blueberry muffins! LOL Which, I might add, were delicious!

The Obese Pigeon Once upon a nighttime cozy, as I mumbled and mosied, With my shadow thrown, by the light of the fridges dome, upon the kitchen floor I rummaged for a savory dish, something daring yet delisch, As some old meat I stood poking, quickly there came a creepy croaking, As of something horribly choking, choking behind my pantry door. Tis probably a tiny mouse, said I, a tiny mouse behind my pantry door, Tis that and nothing more. Loaded up with bread, mildly ...
