The market has many stalls selling everything from cheap household goods, clothing, stuff you can’t think anyone would ever want, produce, and other foods. Original Stroopwafels…

    7 Congress Square, Portland, ME 04101 It is quite small. You can definitely get through the whole museum in an afternoon or less. They do have a couple of Robert Indiana’s, Monet’s, and Renoir’s pieces which I found thoroughly enjoyable. They get some traveling exhibits and show documentaries as well. Their cafe is so so…

    Granola is a spot that’s popular with locals and tourists alike. I arrived and there was a wait, this is a good sign I thought. But looking back, I’m honestly not sure why. I go in and there was a small table pushed in the corner where I was able to sit without a wait,…

    As the global pandemic began to take front and center stage in the northeast last spring the kiddo and I sheltered in place here at home. That meant a lot of time in the house and time in our own backyard. We’d take a walk around the block about once a day and when I’d…
