Bridgton, Maine

The water it is magic, the sunset it is mesmerizing, the people they are generous to a fault, the landscape ever changing, the atmosphere it is a rarified experience filled with the scent of pine, and the loons they are the gift you will always fall back on to lift your spirits and sooth your soul. We Live, Work, and Play here for the quality of life and the neverending story of this magical place.

And then you are here again, not remembering how or why but keenly aware of how it has grown on you, captured you, surprised you that such destinations remain untouched and yet evolve and reinvent themselves through time; that such a destination has lured you back year after year. It has inspired you and you find yourself no longer from away but here now where you too have staked a claim.

Image by Bryan Steele Photography Sometimes on a lazy summer afternoon I pick up the old history books of my favorite little town in western Maine. Sometimes it does me good to remember how this little town emerged from the lakes and foothills, woods, and water. This town that grabs people as they drive through, that sticks in your mind as you pass by, that entices you to return.

Forget Me Nots Colin W. Sargent, Editor & Publisher Contact R omantic movies really should have ve big “looks” between the two lov ers a er the meet-cute for the ending to be believable. is late summer is a big moment in the movie of your life. Where can you go to get the looks from the state of Maine, the eye contact? Even though this is our Fall Guide, it’s still o cially summer until September 22. One of my rst big looks this season was from a harbor seal playing near some rocks about 1,000 yards from shore. ey all ducked underwater as we approached in our 13-foot Boston Whaler, but then, one by one, they surfaced and stared. e rst one was a real Romeo. Seals are very private individuals, you see. ey guard the sunless depths. So when they do condescend to give you the look, they’re going to make it count. at’s right, keep the camera on me. You’ve enjoyed your fun, and you’re going to be leaving now Back away slowly. Turn your boat around, and don’t tell anyone you were here. It was seals who invented the Jedi mind trick. What part of this summer will stay with you? It isn’t only wildlife that catches your eye. At the top of Mt. Katahdin or Mt. Aga menticus, forever gives you the eye. Or is it the ear? On top of Mt. Battie, Ed na St. Vincent Millay closed her eyes to better hear the “ticking of Eternity.” Where did I learn the trick of needing ve big looks for a romance to really take hold? e Big Lebowski taught it to me— the hard way. I wish it weren’t true. e in spiration for Je Bridges’s character in the movie is a screenplay guru. At the time, my screenplay Out of the Blue only had three big looks in it, so the Dude didn’t abide. Now my screenplay has seven hundred big looks. It’s available to read on request. Everything I love, everything that is forever, keeps a steady gaze. Here’s looking at you, Maine. e best look for me ever? e seals won’t tell you. Forty-three years ago, my future wife Nan cy turned and looked at me across the Breezy Point O cer’s Club in Norfolk, Virginia. ere was no one else in the entire room. Her eyes were the color of the Blue Grotto in Capri. My heart thumped. Everything else disappeared. We were married in the fall.

HONORABLE MENTION I loved your “On Your Honor” story [Sum merguide 2022]! One year I had an hon or-system self-serve cucumber table at the head of my driveway. Bertha Parquette, my ancient-widow neighbor, called me up and said that someone told her about the stand. She asked if I could drop o some cucum bers and onions so she could make pickles. Needless to say, I didn’t charge her a penny. Amanda Russell, Edgecomb YOU DECIDE I am reaching out to touch base about the “Private Lives” article in [Summerguide 2022]. I was aware of the article before hand, of course, since Victoria Mansion was contacted for photos. ough Charisse [Gendron]’s article was fascinating, I was a little saddened, to be honest, with the al tered Morse portrait, which is a c. 1855 da guerreotype in Victoria Mansion’s collec tions. I’ve written a brief response, which I hope you will consider publishing in the “Letters” section of the next issue. anks in advance for your consideration.

“Opposing teams are supposed to have the same number of men and women play ers, but my team isn’t a fan of being that gender binary, so we call men-matching players ‘Millers’ after the beer and womenmatching players ‘White Claws.’”

Try on the artist’s life in the former studio of Charles Woodbury, the American Impressionist whose plein-air painting classes sparked the Ogunquit Art Colony. Ogunquit is stunning in the fall, and his studio overlooks picturesque Perkins Cove, where the master held sway 1898–1940. Among his lessons: “Don’t paint oating rocks!” Suggest instead the power and mass that lie below the surface. Not a bad place to practice “ e Art of Seeing” for $2,350-$3,900 per week, plus cleaning fee and 9 percent Maine lodging tax. “A lot of amateur artists love to bring their easels and paint,” says Debbie Marathon of Ogunquit Rental Properties.

Made in France, Based on Maine Lady Liberty, this one’s for you. Freshwater Stone of Orland is supplying 1,000 pieces of individually distressed granite to restore the inner parapet wall of Fort Wood, the Stat ue of Liberty’s star-shaped base. e 250,000 pounds of stone are traveling from Maine to Liberty Island via seven atbed trailers, sev eral cranes, and a barge. So much for New Hampshire being the Granite State.

Five thousand miles in, this ground breaking gift from Sanguo Ventures Limited [co-owned by Mainer Colin S. Sargent] to the Don Bosco Cath olic Parish in Lilongwe (see “From Malawi with Love,” Feb./March 2022) has “really cut my travel times and helped me reach out to a greater number of community members,” says Gervais Kajadu, 47, pictured, a graduate of the local teacher’s col lege serving as a catechist [an ad junct member of the ministry] to 12 outposts in a 30-square-mile area. “We’ve only had one service call, to patch a punctured tire tube,” says mechanic and electric-motorcycle builder Elida Mwanza, 25. “That bike just goes and goes,” saving the Par ish 540,000MK ($720USD) over 6 months—all without an oil change.

36 PORTLAND MAGAZINE TRENDS DearTheReader,drawing you see above is called For Now and Ever. It is completely composed of dots of ink. After writing the poem, I worked with a quill pen and placed thousands of these dots, one at a time, to create this gift in honor of the love of two of my dearest friends. Now, I have decided to offer For Now and Ever to those who have known and value its sentiment as well. Each litho is numbered and signed by hand and precisely captures the detail of the drawing. As an anniversary, wedding, or Valentine’s gift for your husband or wife, or for a special couple within your circle of friends, I believe you will find it most appropriate. Measuring 14" by 16", it is available either fully-framed in a subtle copper tone with handcut double mats of pewter and rust at $145*, or in the mats alone at $105*. Please add $18.95 for insured shipping. Returns/exchanges within 30 days. My best wishes are with you. Sextonart Inc. • P.O.

See our story “Natural Woman,” May 2022.

Speaking of Dahlov Ipcar, at press time Gallery X claims that “another forgery” of a Dahlov Ipcar painting in their pos session “is being highlighted” in a cata logue at Auction House Y. We inquired about this and were told: “Ipcar was known to do similar paintings. We’ve sold quite a few, and this is the first time anything like this has come up.” Re: Ipcar forgeries in general, Gallery Z says they “don’t know of any” and that forgers “follow the market and generally go after higher hammer prices.”

The late abstractions are Jon Imber’s full-throated affirmation of his being as an artist—about leaving a mark. His sure and gentle touch in the formative subject of his paintings, along with an exquisite sense of line and color that is seemingly born of Maine and, one imagines, of his memories growing up on the South shore of Long Island near Jones Beach where Brooklyn and Manhattan multitudes flocked during the summer months to escape New York heat waves. The jostling forms against the airy ground are a Billy Joel or Harry Chapin ballad of melodic, visual harmonies. Cats and cradles, and uptown girls. — Chris Crossman, excerpt from the exhibition catalog

B eing an Olympic gold medalist and an international hoop star gives you a free pass just about anywhere. That’s what some of us no doubt jealously thought. But Sheremetyevo International Air port outside Moscow isn’t exactly just about“Russiananywhere.customs o cials said a U.S. bas ketball player had vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage. A Russian news agency identi ed the player as [Brittney] Griner,” the New York Times reported. e Phoenix Mercury WNBA star, who possessed a medical marijuana card issued to her in Arizona, was carrying less than a gram of cannabis oil, illegal in Russia e prosecutor asked for nine and a half years out of a maximum of ten, and Griner was sentenced to nine. She’s also been ned one million rubles (about $16,300 USD).

“Is that like what Brittney Griner was carrying?”“Itwould basically be a couple of these.”“I’m still trying to get it through my head. She's facing frightening consquences in a strange land a er six months in the slammer away from her family—but if she were here, no problem.” “Yeah, I know. It’s legal in Maine. You’re allowed to leave our store with ve grams of concentrate. Every single day.”

Get ready for Megadeth swoop ing into Maine Sav ings Amphithat er on September 17. We caught up with lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro, who’s brought his own amenco air to Megadeth’s signature sound. e Brazilian na tive details his journey from the crowd to the world stage to a sensa tional fall performance in Bangor How’d you join Megadeth? Dave Mustaine and Megadeth’s manage ment reached out and asked me to send some videos of me playing. I wanted to re spond as fast as possible to prove I was able to play and deliver quickly, so I had the weekend to learn four songs. I memorized them. I didn’t just want to read the sheet music—I wanted to play from my heart. I tried to learn by ear so I wasn’t playing the songs the same way they were recorded on the albums. When I got the job and met Dave, he showed me the right way to play. It was only a er having seen Dave playing in front of me that I understood those nuances way better. Favorite/most challenging songs? “Holy Wars” and “Tornado of Souls” are amazing songs, but they’re di cult to learn, especially in two days, so you need some guitar skills to play them! Does the classical/flamenco guitar you played as a child influence the metal you play now? De nitely yes! It’s easy to play Vivaldi or Paganini with distortion—it just works perfectly! It’s cool to connect those two worlds, and it’s easy because there are a lot of similarities. Classical guitar is more mellow, but we play with a lot of pasion and energy. You play fast and in minor keys. Deep Purple and so many other bands made those connections in the 1970s, and we do it in songs like “Conquer or Die.” I love to play classical guitar when I want to relax, and it feels very natural to bring that to Megadeth. What makes a good riff? It has to be catchy and have some energy. We’re always playing things that sound familiar, but with some twist and some thing special. It’s about the feeling and the heart.

What goes into the writing process? e compositions are really based on ri s. It starts as improvisation—just playing dif ferent ideas with di erent tempos, keys, and moods. You record those ideas and go back to select the best ones to re-record and ne-tune. Once you connect them, you write the lyrics and melodies and start building the whole song. You imagine your self on the concert stage, imagining your in uences and heroes. How does it feel to play with the band? I’ll never forget my rst concert playing with Megadeth in 2015. I could still re member Dave Mustaine on the stage when I rst saw him play at Rock in Rio in Brazil when I was 19. [ irty] years later, I’m play ing with the band! What’s it like to see the band's legacy being passed on to other young fans like you? At concerts we see parents bringing their kids, and di erent generations of fans all wearing matching T-shirts. It’s so cool! With sports, you support a speci c team and pass that on to the next generation. Megadeth is exactly that, and we see it all over the world. e music creates this bond between parents and their kids. e power of music is amazing! n

INTERVIEW BY GWEN THOMPSON

In your collaboration with composer Wayne Barker, who received a Drama Desk Award and a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score for the play Peter and the Starcatcher, was there ever any thought of adapting Mr. Holland’s Opus as a straight play with music rather than as a musical? ere wasn’t for us. We were looking for a property to make a musical out of, so we went chasing this all over the place because it was the perfect vehicle. Sometimes movies get bought up by other movie companies and peo ple don’t always keep track of them, so there was a bit of an Easter egg hunt to locate it.

How did your own musical background studying violin before the acting bug bit shape your vision for this musical about a music teacher? I don’t access my sensibility for music in that way anymore, because my performing life has taken on di erent colors, yet coming into this, my a ection for music enhanced by a lit tle bit of knowledge that was dormant came alive. I know how music teachers talk to stu dents, because I’ve had a music teacher, so I know how to write dialogue for this teacher that’s authentic. Wayne is a world-class composer, and we’re sur rounded by real musicians who know much more than I do about music, so it’s part of the fun to see how right can we get it.

PLAYHOUSEOGUNQUITDANIEL;JEREMYTOP:FROM

You and Ogunquit Playhouse Artistic Director Brad Kenney were in the middle of casting Mr. Holland’s Opus in March 2020 when the pandemic hit. Two years later, were many of the same cast available? A lot can happen in show biz years in 2 years—primarily we had to start over from scratch. I wasn't expecting younger people playing high school students to come to us because they were fond of the 1995 movie and wanted to be part of its adaptation, but hundreds of people auditioned. Did the extended worldwide ban on group music-making change what this story means to you or how you approached it? We’ve taken such pains to retain the avor of the original. You owe it to the creators, but you can’t always be faithful to ev erything, because times change. e nal scene of the mov ie in which everybody comes together is probably the most well known, and that sense of community has emerged as a recurring theme in the show that I didn’t expect it to be when we set out. ese past three years when we dipped our toe in the water of vir tual performance showed us its value as well its shortcomings. It was profoundly palpable in our rehearsals, this collective feeling of appreciation for being in a live room together in real time with out the burdens of technology.

You rarely read a Playbill bio without Law & Order listed among an actor’s screen cred its. Is it fair to say theatergoers owe Law & Order a debt of gratitude for subsidizing the stage careers of so many actors over the course of its 30-year run? I could not have said that better. Kudos to you, because that is abso lutely true for me. To have a contract on a long-running TV show is the dream for an actor, because you don’t have to worry. In 2000 my

BD Wong’s lifelong dream comes true in Ogunquit

SEPTEMBER 2022 71 THEATER Hey, I’m going to change right now—you can go have a cigarette if you want.

L ongstanding Law & Order regular BD Wong wrote the book and lyrics—and now directs—the world premiere of the musical Mr. Holland’s Opus at the Ogunquit Playhouse through September 10.

How often do you ask yourself Mr. Holland’s question to himself: “Have I made the right choice about what to do with my life?” Always! I’m doing it now—I’m writing a musical. I’m over 60 and I’ve always wanted to, and it’s nally something I’m able to do. Golly, this really took you a long time , I say to myself. But it’s not quite the same as Mr. Holland, because I have a great sense of satisfaction in my life and the path I chose, and I’m aware of why it happened. I concentrated with every ber of my being on being an actor, and it took me to a place that was—no denying it—good for my life. I can’t com plain about that! n

Have you spent time in Maine before? Any cast parties at Law & Order creator Dick Wolf's place on Mt. Desert Island? No, I've never been there. But Wayne lived in Portland for about a year, so I visited him there. What do you most enjoy doing while you're here? I didn’t have enough lobster in Portland, so I'm going a er the lobster this time—I re ally am. When I’m trying to seduce people to come and see the show, I say: You know there will be lobster.

SEPTEMBER 2022 73 THEATER son was born, and I didn’t want to go to L.A. I stayed on that show for 11 years not having to leave town while my son was in preschool, elementary school, and middle school. I did start going away when he was in high school, just for a week or two at a time. You’re the only actor in Broadway history to win 5 awards simultaneously when you originated the role of the opera diva Song Liling in M. Butterfly, which ran for almost 2 years. Does starring in an eight-showsa-week play where the same cast performs the same show hundreds of times present different challenges from the constant change from one episode to the next on a long-running series like Law & Order? A lmost incomparable, actually. One of them feels like a job to me where the content actually does change, but I didn’t change and the character I played didn’t change—it was almost like Groundhog Day. On a television show you walk onto the set and you rehearse it the same way you perform it. In a theatrical production you work for four or ve weeks putting it all together until the show opens, and that’s when the repetition starts—when the show is what we call frozen. Other people nd this completely boring, but I love how the theater empties out every night and you’re telling the same story to all new people the next night. Community is at the heart of a theatrical experience in a way there’s not when you’re sitting at home watching a television show. We’ve all sat through plays that are vehicles for film stars struggling to navigate playing to the house vs. playing to the camera. How does your experience as both a stage and film actor inform being a stage director? We’re not really dealing with anybody more used to lm than stage here, but you do have to use techniques speci c to stage acting to convey the same feelings from the lm in a theatrical way. In a lm you would control what the audience perceived and what the storytelling was through camera angles and editing. When you have a stage full of 30 people telling the same story, it’s up to the director to control the focus of the action with di erent tools like lighting and set pieces that obfuscate or reveal things, so the audience’s eye naturally follows what it’s supposed to look at. With “they/them” gaining currency as a gender-neutral pronoun, it seems incredible now that you started using your initials as your stage name in the 1980s in order to keep the gender of the actor playing the gender-bend ing role of Butterfly on Broadway a mystery. How well did that actually work? Oh God, more than you can even imagine! Women to this day tell me, “I brought my husband and didn’t tell him and he com pletely freaked out.” During intermission my character told the audience, “Hey, I’m going to change right now—you can go have a cigarette if you want.” e house lights came on, and in 650 times not one person ever got up and le ey just sat there voyeuris tically as I took my makeup o and attendants came and helpedblindsbecausedeception,theing”so.andhappenwouldshock.spondinghearyouclothes—andchangememycouldthemreinatnevernow,rightly“Othercreatesabilityforityou.

W hen Noah and Peter Bissell sought a loan in the early 2010s to turn Noah’s home-brewing passion into a busi ness, the bank turned them down, so they raised half their initial stake from private sources and in 2013 moved into the space on In dustrial Way previously occupied by Maine Beer Company. e Bis sells gave bartenders and servers around Portland free T-shirts with their nowiconic logo, as well as the occasional tast ing to drum up excitement. “We realized we were part of this sea change of people turning industrial compounds into places to visit and drink and eat,” Peter Bissell says. “We made an e ort to secure a food truck every day we wereButopen.”with production growing by 200-plus percent per year, “We said, ‘We can’t settle in here. ere’s no space to grow.’”Developers for ompson’s Point still only vacant buildings and a dream— showed them an 112-year-old hub of the Maine Central Railroad Company. It was dilapidated. It had dirt oors. Noah and Peter took a chance on the space anyway, and 15 months later opened in their cur rent location. STICK TO THE POINT ompson’s Point—the peninsula o the peninsula that juts out into the Fore Riv Bissell Brothers serves up the magic elixir for the music crowds at Thompson’s Point.

BY JASON SINGER & PETE LYONS er—has always been integral to Portland’s economy. Lumber and products like masts, barrel parts, and box parts were shipped from the point in the 1600s and 1700s. In the early 1800s, with canals all the rage, the state authorized a fundraising lottery and chartered a bank to run the Cumber land and Oxford Canal from ompson’s Point all the way to the far end of Long Lake, a distance of 38 miles. In the 1850s, when the canal fell into disuse as railroads became central to Portland’s economy, ompson’s Point reinvented itself again as a train repair and storage facility. e good times ended in the 1960s, when I-295 ripped through the surround ing Libbytown neighborhood, cutting ompson’s Point o from the rest of Port land. e area quickly fell into disrepair, and a 40-year downturn ensued. But today ompson’s Point is once again central to Portland’s economy and identity, and Bissell Brothers is the center piece, sharing the former train depot with Stroudwater Distillery, Rwanda Bean Co ee, Rosemont Market & Wine Bar, and the quirky International Cryptozool ogy Museum. Portland’s Children’s Muse um + eatre of Maine is across the park ing lot, and there’s a 3,000 to 8,000-seat outdoor concert venue that has hosted the likes of Brandi Carlile, Wilco, Alabama Shakes, Lake Street Dive, e Lumineers, and every American Nobel Prize-winning musician (read: Bob Dylan). When the concerts stop for winter, the space becomes an ice-skating rink. A distinctive structure at the concert venue is a fragment of the train shed that once stood close by at the now-demolished Union Station.

STYLE WITH SUBSTANCE e original development plans for ompson’s Point involved demolition of old structures to build anew, prompting concerns about style over substance. But the brewery’s vast space is vibrantly color ful and inviting, with multiple levels and outdoor seating, the tables spaced for pri vacy, with conversation from neighboring tables unobtrusive. Ordering is easy, with one-stop shopping for all your food and beverage needs. e drinks come immedi ately, and a buzzer lets you know when the food is Bissellready.Brothers’ agship beer, e Substance (6.6% ABV), is the poster child for New England IPAs: fruity and avor ful, with a dry-hopped nish that kicks up the haze and mellows the bitterness.

It was a blast,” says Peter Bissell. “But a er a while, you have standards, and you can’t count on others to maintain them.

Saffron Just sprinkle in a Revolutionary War hero, and you’ve got one helluva saltbox. BY COLIN W. SARGENT MORNEAUG.PETER L ooking for the oldest house in Kennebunk? It depends on which cocktail party you’ve been to most recently. In 1751, architect/builder James Hub bard (we called them joiners then) built this classic manse at 56 Summer Street. e land his saltbox surveyed included 27 acres near the Kennebunk River, where shipyards and mansions would one day earn this stretch the nickname Captain’s Row. By 1775 he’d become so in uential that on October 3, “our records state [that] a pe tition addressed to the general court…and signed by Col. Ephraim Doolittle asked that Hubbard, along with certain other of cers, be commissioned, and on the fol lowing day the petition was read and com mitted by the General Court, and James Hubbard o cially became a captain in Colonel Doolittle’s regiment,” says Leanne Hayden, collections curator at the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk . Likely he was ru ed by the high taxes the King was exacting in the Kennebunks and beyond. (Some of us know the feeling.)

A LION IN A DEN OF SAVAGE DANIELS Igrew up spending summers in the Kennebunks, and whenev er we drove past this house in our Ford Falcon painted a cool shade of cop per, my mother used to look at it wistful ly. Remember Mad Men and the Drapers’ kitschy knotty pine kitchen? In the wild 1960s, in a world of “authentic” Colonial Revival copies, 56 Summer Street stood out as the real thing. “If I could just get my hands on it,” Mom said and laughed. If she hadn’t passed away so young, I bet she would have. he wasn’t alone in loving it. In the ear BE PART OF A COMMUNITY YOU WANT TO CALL HOME.

Many might have guessed that Captain Hubbard disappeared in a ash at the Battle of Bunker Hill, but no—the records mysteriously insist on Cambridge. e manner of his death is lost to history, but the post-and-beam saltbox at 56 Summer Street elegantly survives.

It didn't have the mix recipe on the old can. e Sherwin-Williams dealer came up with the original recipe that was per fect. It's a dark tan bu and is the perfect counter to the dark yellow of the house. It truly stands out, especially from the road, because most yellow houses are painted with white trim (a later Colonial Revival combination).

“All of the interior walls of the house are nished in what was a Benjamin Moore Historic Williamsburg nish called whitewash. e walls are plaster, so the whitewash is perfect for the pe riod.

All of this work was accomplished by George Burr and his very able sta right here in Kennebunk.

Her cinnamon babka and on ion rolls rivaled all others, and Mrs. Rice was the chief competitor in the contest of Jewish“Andbakers.what will it be today?” she rasped, brushing the our from her hands. is was my moment. I pointed to a rainbow-decorated star cookie—the sole allotted item of store-baked goods. Mrs. Rice impatiently put the lone cookie into a waxed paper bag. We both felt the insult of this meager sale, but my mother would not be shamed into a more generous purchase. Our next stop was Seavey’s, for thick slices of salami and tongue that would be fried with farm-fresh eggs whose shells were covered in feathers. Two brothers owned the two kosher meat markets across the street from each other. ey were rivals during business hours and members of the same minyan at the Etz Chaim Synagogue one block away. Another meat market pro prietor—“from away”—was a renowned ganef, a thief who kept his thumb on the scales as he weighed the Delmonico steaks. Our community su ered a terrible trau ma when we discovered that this butcher was selling chickens that had not been rit ually slaughtered. Cast-iron pots and pans that had been carried in carpet bags across the ocean were buried in backyards to be kashered, removing any trace of the forbid den food. e butcher le Portland in in famy, but this transgression and moment of repentance was the fabric that held our people together. We found comfort in our shared sorrows and uncertainties. A s Portlanders, we knew that “local” meant chickens raised in the dark basement of our house and taken to the butcher for ritual slaughter; local was the farmer’s market in Lincoln Park where my mother bought milk in glass bottles and eggs in straw- lled baskets; local was glass jars of homemade spicy dill pickles fermenting on the back porch; local was tiny blueberries bought at the side of the road on the way to the lake; and local was knowing who stood in line beside you—the familiar and safe. As I grew older, my feet longed to move beyond these shops and the way of life they embodied. My walk home from school in cluded a visit to a forbidden non-kosher

I feared the baker behind the counter, who was a stranger, yet I longed to discover a Port land that was unfamiliar to me. When I ate white-bread bologna sandwiches smeared with mayonnaise at my friend’s house, I su ered the betrayal of assimilation and lost allegiance to my life’s foundation. ese storefronts on India Street remain, their freshly painted signs catering to cur rent cravings, overshadowed by the rising towers of downtown condominiums. e bakery hosts a cannabis store; Seavey’s is a defunct organic market; thick butcher’sblock tables have been replaced with shiny laminates that support artfully cra ed portions of locally harvested foods. And the people who walk these streets are from away—a population of transplants and weekend visitors with no memory of the community that once surrounded these streets.

Now I carry my reusable shopping bags to the downtown market and to Deering Oaks in search of the same fresh vegetables and fruit my mother bought. I do not know the people who crowd the pavement seeking artisanal breads and cheeses. Yet I’m brought back to my childhood hearing voices from foreign lands in the proprietors of the market carts. ese are the new “locals,” who, like my grandparents, are nding a home that feels familiar in the new. eir landscape is the Portland Museum of Art rising from the foundation of the Libby Building, its exhibitions representing this city’s diverse communities. Maine College of Art & Design occupies the oors of Portland’s oldest department store, now a home for the hopes of visual and performing artists who attend from afar. “Local” may now mean “from away,” but these new locals bring with them the same promise my family held before them when they claimed Portland as their own. I hear their voices around me, and I embrace the changing landscape they’re creating in my native city. As I knead my own bubka in my Bubbie’s ceramic bowl and serve the steaming hot rolls to my grandchildren, I know that “local” is the smell of my kitchen, the breaking of bread together, the memories of then and now. n

that became the rst spring bouquets I brought my mother; the shadow of the former Porteous, Mitch ell and Braun building where I climbed the gilt-edged marble stairs in search of lacy handkerchiefs; the elevator of the Libby building with a tiny, uniformed man who wore white gloves to operate the spinning wheel that li ed me to my piano lesson in the h- oor garret. I o en wandered alone, cradled in the recognition of a familiar doorstep or the call of the rehouse horns at noon on Sun days. is was my city, where I was born and raised—a place where I never met any one who wasn’t local. My family, friends, and teachers knew the safety of deep roots too, and as natives we con dently claimed the landscape and traditions. e borders of my wanderings expanded walking with my mother and grandparents along the cobblestones of India Street— in the 1960s, the meeting place for Port land’s ethnic communities. Italian special ty shops sold the thickened ricotta cheeses and cured meats that graced the tables of lower Congress Street. Church steeples rose above the city skyline, and the stained-glass windows of the synagogues lit the paths be tween the stores. e signs were in Yiddish, the lost language of my family, and in Eng lish, the language that ushered us into this new world. e same smells of abandoned towns in Eastern Europe wa ed through the morning air as my Bubbie and others of her generation viscerally recognized the feel of the same cobblestone that shaped the streets of the old country through the soles of their shoes. is was the day my mother tucked last week's brown paper bags in the back seat with me and my older siblings as we journeyed from the diaspora of the new Woodfords intoneighborhoodCornerbacktheOldWorld at the base of the Eastern Promenade, reenacting the horse carts traveling from the side streets of the shtetl into a hub of safe withcasesstoodamongcommerceourpeople.EachSundayIbeforetheglassofthebakerymyfacepressed into my mother’s coat. e air was fogged with the steam of hot, sugar-encrusted kichel and golden loaves of challah e bakery line was the place to exchange re views of the Saturday sermons delivered by the rabbis in Portland’s temples and syna gogues. Measured approval, requisite cri tiques, hushed gossip, and celebratory Ma zel tovs! echoed in the small store. As we moved closer to the counter, I could see Mrs. Rice enter from the back of the bak ery. She was a graying, buxom blond whose apron was coated with jam from lled cookies. Her large breasts acted as a shelf for the tray of pastries she carried, and I shrank from her critical gaze. I do not re member her ever smiling.
