Departments

North by East

A complicated midcoast legacy of corporate largesse is going . . . going . . . gone. So too is the beloved Old Port Music Hall. But Maine writer Ruth Moore’s forgotten novels are making a comeback. Plus, in Maine Dispatches, a dog is not a bear.

Food and Drink

A “drink local” bonanza: from lobster beers to lobster cocktails, raw milk to milkshakes, we’re sloshing the Maine-iest beverages from each of the state’s 16 counties.

Good Things from Maine

Wooden-toy maker Phil McCrillis — a.k.a. Uncle Lumpy — is old-school, old-school Maine brand L.L.Bean is getting kinda slick, and some slick tech keeps old-school ag fairs going.

Maine Homes

In Lincoln, a lakefront home holds five kids, four dogs, three cats, and two adults, and in Portland, a dining-room display of Caribbean-influenced art is a feast for the eyes.
