You know how everybody has their own opinion of "the best ice cream place"? You are allowed to have an opinion, but it's wrong if it isn't Sammy's Scoops in Portland.

Are you goddamn kidding me?! My entire childhood revolved around the idea that I knew what to do if somebody at the beach was stung by a jellyfish. I'll tell you what not to do; PEE ON IT!

A 125°F pavement temperature is equal to anything from 65°F to 85°F air temperature. At 125°F skin/paw destruction can happen in 60 seconds. PLEASE BEWARE!

This... this is exactly why people say they're terrified of the ocean. One day you're sunbathing and walking the shore line with your family, the next you're running into a 5 foot wide, lion's mane jellyfish lurking a bit too close for comfort.

We had an absolute terrible time once Walmart took away our bag privileges, now this? "The popular branch has now axed its self-checkout aisles to tackle spiralling thefts".

Maine has a hands free law when it comes to using cellphones and driving. Did you know about this?

I promise you though that we will have a summer after all the rain we've been getting and I know this because I smell the damn bait again.

Chicken nuggets is a very serious category. If you say the wrong thing here about where the best chicken tenders are served in Maine, you could get exiled. Especially in my house. Tomaso's Canteen in Portland all day.

Starting today, June 10, 2025 you can get excited about Payson Park's new summer concert series starting up! This is one of the cute things Maine does without being asked because we're awesome and it's totally FREE!

Okay, once I describe the way this unique little bar full of fun games and drinks came into the old port without you noticing, you're also going to feel very mind-effed.

Love a good boat bar, love a good tie-up, love a good dock that leads you right up to the restaurant. With summer extra close I bet you too have been day dreaming about all of Maine's patios opening up again so don't forget to add this one to the list.

Why do tourists make me so angry? I'm not even sure if angry is the right word here, irritated maybe? Either way they're definitely more annoying on more days than not in the old port and there's only one really big reason why.

When I die, please burry me at Ken's Place in my bathing suit. You have to love a good fried seafood romp to Ken's place after a long day on Scarborough Beach.

Allagash is one of the more popular breweries in Maine, but it wasn't the beer that this waterway was named after; it was actually the wilderness, kinda?

Once summertime hits here, Maine beats out any state in the summer, but that's the exact reason our 'Vacationland' slogan isn't 1000 percent accurate in my opinion. Here's some more accurate ones that are brutal but honest.

This trail discovery was cool because once I found it, it just kept going. It kept leading me to more what felt like secret trails and it makes you feel like you're in an alternate universe. Once I researched it more, I found out it's actually a pretty popular destination filled with even more run-off trails. Check these out.
