Funky Portland, Maine

These are some kids walking down the street in Portland, Maine. Notice the "IMPEACH" graffiti on the wall behind them. I saw quite a few Obama signs as well. I can't remember having seen any McCain ones.

There are lots of tattooed youth wandering around Portland. There are several schools in town, including an art school. The town definitely has an art school vibe in some places.

It seems like a place that is regenerating, and not in that top-down lets build a strip mall sort of way. It is being resurrected by kids, artists, and local businesses (businesses which appear to be cherished and protected).

There is a surprisingly good museum for such a small town and quite a few interesting restaurants (although we only tried a couple). All in all, I dug it.
