During the 1850s, the Old Town area began to be settled by Chinese, eventually leading to the Northern 2/3 of the area becoming known as Portland's Chinatown. Chinatown today is a tiny shadow of itself, with some two dozen Cantonese businesses (some restaurants date to the 1920s), as well as a Chinatown Gate and a new garden, the Suzhou Lan Su Chinese Garden.
The Portland Chinatown Gate was built in 1986 by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. The Chinese characters posted on the gate read "Portland Chinatown" in the front, and "Four Seas, One Family", in the back.

A return daytrip into Portland, Maine, aboard the earliest Casco Bay Lines boat from Chebeague Island, let me enjoy the waterfront scenery again in a whole different light. I spent an hour or so strolling the different wharfs with my camera. This shot is looking toward Custom House Wharf.
I feel so "alive" here, and never tire of the draw of the ocean, whether on a quiet island or the busy waterfronts of the harbor.

The Dandy Warhols, a Portland band, put on an impromptu two day moving show playing a 13 songs in front of or in 13 old school Portland locations. I joined in on the first day and it was my first time seeing the Dandy Warhols and I had a blast! The first location was outside of the former Xray Cafe at 2nd and burnside, then we moved around the corner to Voodoo Doughnuts and then into Dantes (Sally and I had a quick drink) and then Magic Gardens. I had to leave at this point but was all giddy and happy. One of the best days!

Peacock Lane is a short three block stretch in SE Portland that started a lighting tradition in 1929. Multiple generations of families have come to walk or drive by the lights year after year to see the Christmas Spirit. Not the biggest nor brightest display, but certainly known locally. Peacock Lane was placed on the National Historic Registry this year.
It was literally IMPOSSIBLE to find a good view of Portland, and this is the best I could come up with as I was in a hurry to drive home. This photo was taken from the Vista Bridge (otherwise known as the Suicide Bridge).
