East End Beach magnet sweep

Went to the east end beach with a magnet and did a little sweeping. Got a good variety in sizes of magnetic rocks, possibly metal, some of it looks like welding scraps and slag, def need to go back wkth a much stronger magnet, alot had to be hand picked up and checked if they react to the magnet at all.

Anyone know what’s going into the old sissle and daughters/abbiocco on forest?

Saw this frame here this am. Hope something cool is going in here but worried it’s another condo building.

I wish there was an Acela (express) train from Boston to Portland.

I know I know - then the boston tourists would be a lot, but then I could actually live in portland full time and afford it and make boston money. If there was a nonstop acela from here to boston it would take about 1hr 10 mins vs the 2hrs 30 mins now. Is this being worked on at all?

Re-connect with someone I met on vacation

Hi! I’m from out of state but I was in Maine last week. I had to stop at Best Buy in south Portland to get some help with an SD card I had bought beforehand; and the guy that helped me was super funny and nice to chat with, he suggested places for me to visit during my trip and cracked a lot of jokes while we spoke (for almost an hour while he helped me trouble shoot)! We didn’t exchange contact info in the moment but I wish we had! I’d like to find them to keep in touch if possible (I tried calling the store but it just leads to a call center :/ )

Sorry if this is creepy but I like making friends! If anyone has any ideas of how to get in touch so we can exchange socials- please lmk!! Or if this is too creepy I’ll stop 😔

Manhunt at Ocean Gateway Garage?

Seems to be locked down, my wife said that she saw cops outside and a SWAT team member searching the floor she could see. Anyone know what’s up?

What’s the story behind this statue?

Visited Portland this past weekend and at first my friend and I thought this was a real little boy who was lost lol. This was at the Portland headlight in the playground that’s in the back. Anyone know what the story is behind this?

Look what the top result is when I Google "Graham Platner campaign." I actually had to scroll quite a ways down before I actually came across his campaign website.

Anyone know what was up with the helicopter/planes circling during the fireworks?

Title says it all. We saw what we believe were the same planes and/or helicopters (or both) circling during the show. Even during the finale it looked like they were going right through the fireworks but it was hard to tell the elevation difference. Were these plane/helicopter tours offered during the fireworks show, or something else?

Google Maps Reviews

Has anyone else noticed local companies purchasing google map reviews? For example I was looking at Y%F today and it was mostly bots. So frustrating

Why are you guys allergic to pedestrians?

Walked across the street while said I could go. Multiple drivers nearly hit me despite having reflective gear on. They even honked their horn at me for having the audacity to cross the road when it said I can.

Like. What?

Should mention I’m a native Mainer who’s been here my entire life.
