In
Brief / Facts At A Glance
For those of you unfamiliar with the area, you're probably working on the premise
that Portland and Maine in general aren't worth your time. Well, that's your
loss. For those of you wiser than that (or just interested in the world in general),
this is a real standard primer on the region. A lot of it is pirated from tourist
type brochures, but you get the idea.
History
A pretty standard document covering the recent history of Portland, from around
the turn of the millenium on up to pretty recent stuff. This will help set you
up with some of the "hows" and "whys" of the area.
Places
to Go
Portland has its places to go. Bars, cafes, restaurants. It's got a little bit
of everything. It may not be Seattle, or even Boston, but it is Portland, and
what else does it need to be? The database is growing as the locals contribute
their favorites. We're not trying to include everything though. After all, at
some point we need to encourage you to jack out and take a fraggin walk.
Personalities
A few of the individuals of note in Portland. Some sketchy, some shady, some
legit, some not. A grab bag. And a growing database. As interesting people turn
up, we plug them in. Check back for new faces.
MAPS.
