Dine Out Maine: Hard to find better fried seafood than Susan’s
Maine is a fried seafood lover’s paradise, and I encourage all paradise seekers to venture beyond the traditional seaside locales – because, although less aesthetically pleasing, Susan’s Fish-n-Chips delivers some of the tastiest fried food in southern Maine. Open since 1989, Susan’s has achieved a sort of local cult status. Happily, it stands up to […]

Art Review: Depth under the hoopla about the Lunder Collection
There will be a great deal written nationally about the works in Colby’s Lunder Collection. A cynic could question the import of the news: After all, this is about a new wing on an already multi-winged museum and a collection that has already been announced and commended. But things really have changed: Maine has a […]

Classical Beat: PORTopera director gives ‘Boheme’ modern look, realistic feel
I recently attended a rehearsal of PORTopera’s new production of “La Boheme” and judging by what I heard, this promises to be a peak musical experience. PORTopera has produced “La Boheme” before, as its third opera and the first staged at Merrill Auditorium. The series has been running for 19 years now, but artistic director […]

Dine Out Maine: Ports of Italy a welcome anchorage in Boothbay Harbor
We entered Ports of Italy through the back door in order to park in its small but free lot, a big plus in downtown Boothbay Harbor in the summer. Owner Sante Calandri welcomed us with vigor.

Movies: ‘Conjuring’ haunts in all the best ways
Haunted house movies only work if the people in the house are worth scaring. Sounds stupid, but it’s true, although let’s be honest: Real estate is inherently frightening. You put all that money in and only Satan knows if it’ll turn out to be a decent investment, or if you’ll be able to afford what […]
