All, Indeed, there is a city in Maine called Portland. No, not the place with the TrailBlazers, and Modest Mouse has never played there, but it does exist. The first time I realized this was when I looked at my driver's license and it told me that I live there. Lobster Land is actually quite a nice lil' city, don't let the fact that it is in Maine fool you. In case you happen to drive through it on your way to..... uh.... nowhere, here are my recommendations: Music Store: Russ has mentioned Newbury Comics, always a reliable. Bullmoose Music ain't too bad. Movie Theater: Oh boy, where do i start? The Nickelodian Cinema is $1.50 a seat all the time. "The Movies" is cozy and shows good indie films. The Keystone serves food during your movie, decent food. Restaurant: Portland has the most restaurants per person in the U.S. with the only exception being San Francisco. Fresh Market Pasta is nice. If you're lookin' to get loaded, try Gritty McDuffs, an all american watering hole. Concerts: I've kinda lived in Maine (when not here at school) for a year and a half, and the only show I've seen there was Moby. There's really no reason for bands to go to Portland, so they generally don't. My parents didn't move there for the indie scene. Since most of you will never be in Maine, I apologize for cluttering your inbox, but maybe one or two people might be in the area and find this handy...... nope, probably not.
