Walked to a neighborhood bakery, everyone is chatty, no one really on phones (except me), on my walk to the bakery , randoms walking their dogs in flannel saying hello/good morning, the neighborhood bakery playing sublime and smash mouth , everyone is dressed like back in the 90…

I thought all of Maine was a bit strange. It makes sense that Stephen King lives in Maine and has more than enough material to last his entire lifetime.

I love Portland Maine! What’s wrong with people not being glued to their phones and being friendly?

VHS store right by the art museum - truly the 1990s!

So many people smoking old fashion cigarettes- barely any vaping

The massive current day drug and homelessness problem wasn’t even as large of an issue back in 2020. I do miss old Portland.

Portland is very smug. Junkies passed out in parking garage stairwells, homeless encampments, drug markets in Longfellow Square with accompanying psychosis fueled rants at passersby against a backdrop of dated 2020 era virtue signaling galore (BLM, mask up, welcome New Mainers, planned parenthood signs in every Congress street storefront)

Same! Also, ever been to Bangor? It’s worse. I used to have to visit both quite often and both places are unsettling. The people are uncanny.


Could you two be any vaguer?
