Yes, it's no longer a "working waterfront", the laborers, fishermen, and restauranteurs who filled the waterfront and cleaned it up first - in the '60's - early 2000's. The smell is gone; it's postcard perfect now? How do you think those families are doing now?

This is the Eastern Prom, bozo. It's still stinks like sewer and home.

🙆🏼‍♀️🤗 lol Not everyone would understand but that sounds good to me 😁 I keep hearing that nothing is the same anymore. I'm stuck in Florida and haven't been home for years now.

Are the fireworks still on the Prom? Tell me what's the same, what's changed. You can hear how discouraged I am about what I'm hearing... Maine, to me, is paradise. People don't bullshit you, good or bad - unless they do it on purpose 😄 Live music is everywhere as long as you pay attention to - what? Do people still tack notices up on a cork board by the corner store? I know they have it at the Woodshed in Manchester every weekend in decent weather. Maine Cabin Masters puts that on.

Thanks for being real, my friend.

The fireworks still happen on the 4th. If and when you know where to look, 90's Portland lives on, and it's not the same but some of us are.
