Thanks to locals’ fearsome independent streak, and an influx of young
295 may have the hippest working watercreatives, New England’s second city

getaways to Portland convenient, and the small downtown, with its great
public transportation, allows ambitious travelers to cram in a lot of leisure.
Here are our devoted travel reporter’s exacting notes on his hurried visit
to the city that went local before going local was a thing. —Andrew Burman

The Casco Bay ferries look like bath toys, but
run on schedule. I’m stopping of to pick up saltwater taffy at Great Diamond Island’s legendary General Store for my trip to Long Island’s
Sandy Beach.
