Elizabeth Wilson

By far, Labadie’s claim to fame is the not-so-humble whoopie pie.

Way Way Store in Saco

May 26 Way Way Store in Saco

Elizabeth Wilson

Nostalgia can be sweet. That’s the lesson the Scontras family taught me during my visit to the Way Way Store in Saco.

Camden Public Library

Elizabeth Wilson

As I traveled to coastal Camden, I thought about the town from the perspective of those who live in it more so than that of the ones who arrive for a vacation.

May 22 Asticou Azalea Garden in Mount Desert

Visiting this tranquil garden ultimately resolved a question in my mind: where is the desert on Mount Desert Island?

Mainers are known for reusing things. This is a tremendous way to reuse a building.

I might have cheated. Before launching this project to visit every municipality in Maine, I created some self-imposed rules.

A Bit of Harpswell
Apr 7

Apr 7 A Bit of Harpswell

Elizabeth Wilson

I’m not sure if anyone has ever visited ALL of Harpswell. It would be quite the undertaking as it includes over 200 islands.

You should be warned: if you ever start using farm fresh eggs, you will be spoiled forever.

Garden Spot Farm in Pownal
Apr 3

Apr 3 Garden Spot Farm in Pownal

Elizabeth Wilson

It snowed this morning in Maine. By afternoon, it was 52 degrees. Living in the country’s most northeastern state means spring can be slow to arrive. 

Blais Maple Syrup in Greene
Apr 1

Apr 1 Blais Maple Syrup in Greene

Elizabeth Wilson

In 2018, Maine ranked third in the nation for producing the most syrup. We may be the Pine Tree State, but don’t forget about those maples!
