We all know and love Old Orchard Beach, Maine, for several reasons. Fireworks displays every week during the summer. Live music along the Pier. Palace Playland. Pier fries. Lisa's Pizza. The 'Swick. The Pier itself in general. But tucked into that popular Maine town whose tradition is to be generally...
The Annual Greek Festival in Saco, Maine, is This Week
Did you miss the Portland Greek Festival? Worry not, and head to Saco's starting this Friday. Nothing is better than Greek food. Greeks show love through food, and there is so much love at the Greek Festival in Saco. Last year was the first time they had been in person in years because of the pandemic. The big tent is all set, and once again, the food, music, and dancing will take place at the gorgeous St. Demetrios Orthodox Church in Saco.

There Was a Runaway Boat on This New Hampshire Lake
Don't get me wrong, I love a little nautical nonsense, especially in the summertime. A friend with a boat is a good friend to have. However, driving a boat is very intimidating to me, and don't even get me started on parking the darn thing. Lots can go wrong when you are operating a water vessel!

Whether you are a resident or visitor to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, you have to find time to visit 169 Ocean Boulevard and get your portrait done by Paul Gaunt. Some say they're caricatures, but these are so fabulous and fun that I don't think the word does his work justice.
Boston, Massachusetts, Ranked 4th in the Nation for the Most Attractive Men
I can't even lie to you right now, Boston 100% has the most beautiful men I have ever seen in my life. Now, being a Boston native for almost eight years before I moved to Maine, I can tell you firsthand that this statement is true. Boston men are elite. It's almost like they travel in flocks, too. Have you ever noticed that? Usually the jock friend group is the most handsome, and they all somehow look the same. I'm not saying that they're boyfriend material, but I'm absolutely saying that Boston men are eye candy.

Do You Dare Take on the ‘Fenway Frank Challenge’ at Fenway Park?
Food challenges have become somewhat of a fad over the last decade or so, possibly even more. Some establishments offer a free meal for completing an eating challenge either in general or within a specific time period, others offer up some sort of cash prize, and for some, it's simply about bragging rights with a picture included in their "wall of fame."

One of those options may check a couple of boxes for you: a chance to see a covered bridge AND enjoy a swimming hole right next to it.

For all Maine beachgoers, officials are urging swimmers to check bacteria levels before dipping your toes into the inviting waters.
It’s That Time of Year When You Must Choose Your Allegence: Tripoli’s or Cristy’s
It's time to stop calorie counting and start using "oh, it's summer" as an excuse to eat eight hot dogs a week and drink ice-cold beers daily. It's summer. It's all good. No judgment. But summer coming also means it's time to choose your loyalty. And your loyalty will be...

Whether we've all realized it or not, in a sense, we've all become foodies of some sort, and the proof is in the content that we digest (no pun intended) the most.

Maine Man on Current Season of TLC’s ’90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’
I'm not the target audience for shows like TLC's 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. It's another one of those reality shows that just makes me cringe to look at.

20 Best Campgrounds in Maine
Camping is as much a Maine tradition as lobster is. Maine is a big state with so much wilderness to choose from. Whether you are into hiking, water sports, lakes, or oceans, it's why we are called "Vacationland". Because we have it all. Part of having it all is packing it all up and living in nature at a campground. Most Mainers have the most amazing memories of growing up and going camping.
