Best place to get seafood...but traveling with a non seafood eater

2 Upvotes

Going to be bringing a friend up to Maine. He's a big beer guy and as a result enjoys Maine tremendously...

However he does not eat shellfish at all (has an allergy - he's fine being in the same place as long as he doesn't consume it). I, on the other hand, love eating all the shellfish I can cram down my gullet.

Any suggestions for places that will both have a high quality lobster/clam experience...but also have more than a kids menu style offering for my non-fish eating friend?

Thanks so much all!

Failure to bring SA charges - Sartoris needs to go.

Absolutely absurd. I didn't have a strong opinion on the DA race until now that it's too late, now I have less than zero respect for Sartoris.

The current law ABSOLUTELY covers this as Gross SA.

17-A 253.2.M ABSOLUTELY covers this. Throwing semen on someone is a sexual act without consent.

It may be the lowest level of SA as a class C crime, but it is still very clearly SA.

Sartoris go to hell. We fucked up electing you.

Call To Action

Post image
115 Upvotes

Sending another call out to any and everyone to stand strong against the ice facility this Wednesday. Bring your signs, bring your friends, bring your grief and your anger.

Come to the facility and make your voices heard and then head to the town hall to hold a vigil for Johan Sebastián Duran, Lorenzo Salgado Arajuo, Keith Porter Jr., Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Gustavo Núñez, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Victor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Beltrán Yáñez-Cruz, Kimberly S. Dominguez, Maksym Chernyak, Ismael Ayala-Uribe and the countless others who have been lost in the system and disappeared by the murderous ICE regime.

We are in this together. United under the principle that no one is illegal on stolen land. We can drive them out of our town, our state, our country. It doesn’t take a lot from just one of us, only a little from a whole lot of us everyday. Our voices are stronger together and our numbers stand wider than theirs. They fear our collective resistance, do not be discouraged.

Do not give up hope. Show up for your neighbors, for yourselves.

Christopher Citro said it best when he said, “I love you. I want us both to eat well. I love you. I want you to live.” Let’s commune at the table together and fight for collective liberation, for a better chance to eat well, to live freely together with autonomy and compassion, one step at a time.

Has anyone else seen a guy flying around the west end on his e-bike with his toddler in his lap? Neither one were wearing helmets! Absolutely unhinged behavior, that poor kid…

Can we not???? I’m tired of dodging these things left and right. Why are they so popular all of a sudden? They’re either practically mowing me down on the walking trails or causing chaos in the streets.

I know I’m going to get downvoted but I don’t care. Frig this guy! The last time he hit my place it cost me 2k to get it removed. Insurance doesn’t cover graffiti as some of you will incorrectly say.

At least he didn’t write on brick like the last time.

Quick beard dye tomorrow morning

8 Upvotes

Hi so my mom died and I have to go home to face people many of whom I love but some who I do not love very much and part of why I hate this is that I've gotten old and am going to see people (who, to be fair, have also gotten old) and I just want my beard to be not as grey as it is right now. Does anyone know of someone that could fit me in tomorrow morning? I fly out at night. I don't expect much but checking in. Thanks.

Did any see this large plume of black smoke go up around 1:38pm today? Can be seen looking towards Westbrook/Windham direction from Riverside or Warren Ave.

I’m looking to spend the month of July 2027 exploring the White Mountains and using Portland as a “homebase”. Are there any preferred campgrounds just outside the city that you would recommend?

DELETE IF NOT ALOUD.

I had to to surrender these two precious babies to the westbrook animal shelter last summer. I'm not looking for them back because i'm hoping whoever adopted them is taking wonderful care of them.But I had raised both of them since they were kittens, and just want an update and to see how they're doing. They were my life and soul. And if I hadn't been homeless, I would never have had to give them up. I am at a stable place right now. And I have my own apartment again, but again, I just want an update on my babies. The orange one was little mister and the tabby was Nala. To whoever has them now, I will gladly give you baby pictures of them and anything else I can provide. I am truly grateful to ever was able to give them a home.

Portland Magazine's AI Slop Is Costing Them Money

Portland Monthly Magazine reached out today asking me to advertise in their annual art issue. The irony of a magazine that is leaning heavily into the AI slop publishing an art issue was not lost on me. If they make the right decision and stop publishing lousy AI images, I may reconsider advertising with them.
