These Swimming Holes in Maine Are ‘Clothing Optional’
When Mother Nature turns up the heat during the summer, it's a natural reaction for people to look for places to cool off. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a friend with a swimming pool, but here in Maine, we have swimming holes available to the public to alleviate the heat.
Popular Maine Pizza Shop Picked to Represent Portland, Maine, in Barstool Sports’ One Bite Pizza Festival
I'm not gonna lie, friends, I think it is cool as hell that Monte's Fine Foods is participating in Barstool Sport's One Bite Pizza Festival and representing Maine. If you know me, then you know I'm a huge advocate of Dave Portnoy, even if half the internet is divided over him. He's helped hundreds (if not thousands) of small and local companies pick their businesses off the ground. He's donated thousands of dollars to animal shelters, and gave his beautiful rescue, Miss Peaches, the life she never had. He also keeps it very real and transparent, which is very hard to do these days on social media. So for that, he wins my utmost respect.
USA Today Names Midcoast Maine Restaurant One of the Best in the Nation

Ranking New England’s Top Casual Dining Chains: An Experimental Series, Part 1
Alright, New Englanders. I need your help—big time. Last week, an enormous debate was sparked between myself and my colleagues: what is the best casual dining chain in New England?.

You Can Rent Swimming Pools in New Hampshire and Maine Like an Airbnb Rental
I'm just going to get right into this comparison to set the scene... You must be familiar with Airbnb and VRBO, right? Simply put, you can rent out your home to people (either your main residence or a secondary home) to make some extra money. Well, a new(ish) app is...
Maine Coon Cat Actually Loves Vegetables and Steals Them Right Off Dad's Plate
Before I got cats, I thought I knew what they liked to eat—meat, and fish, and maybe saucers of milk. Au contraire! Turns out, most cats are actually lactose-intolerant as adults. They may love dairy, but it doesn’t love them back. (Honestly, kitty? Same here.) And though I was assured my skittish ...Continue reading
Maine Bakery Named One of the Best in America
Our Pine Tree State is home to many amazing bakeries and places to get baked goods, but one, in particular, is getting national attention!. Everyone loves a good bakery, but there's something special about the ones in our neck of the woods. Blueberry pastries are always a hit, but in Maine, they just hit differently.
Reopening Went Swimmingly at Maine State Aquarium

Add Maine’s Wild Blueberry Weekend to Your List of Summer Fun
Maine's Wild Blueberry Weekend is back, and bigger and better than ever!. Maine is the world's largest producer of wild blueberries. But before 2021, Maine never had its own weekend to go hog wild for the wild blueberry! Personally, I think there is such a huge difference between wild blueberries and cultivated blueberries. Basic blueberries are just "meh".
