I grew up on the coast.  When I was young my father was a lobster fisherman and I spent much of my childhood running up and down the piers of Southwest Harbor and Tremont while dad worked on his boat.  So when the weather is nice and I need to get out of the office one of my favorite places to escape is Portland's waterfront.  Something about the fishing boats and the city, tradition and progress, old Maine and new Maine occupying the same space fires my imagination and makes me feel at home.
