Meandering In Maine

A little time in Maine in the summer of 2024 brought a few random memories.

A rainy afternoon in Belfast at Young's Lobster Pound.

The lobster lunch, destroyed. Hand painted, wood ice cream cone sign at Carrier's Mainely Lobster restaurant in Bucksport.

Wearing shoes on the hands at Tinder Hearth in West Brooksville.

Views at Mount Cadillac in Acadia. Wedding pictures and a long look.

Desolate times. The closing of a local, longtime grocery, Merrill & Hinkley, in Blue Hill.

The People's Public Security Museum

Seems like a safe place to visit. It's also called the Police museum and there also are displays of fire, rescue trucks. Maybe it's Civil Servants who Will Save Your museum? The museum is definitely a grab bag of curious.

Out front. "We come to bring peace."

First curiosity: an elaborate miniature diorama you peek into. Something about drug, leftist caves? Seized money. All about the Benjamins the world over.

Drugs and traditional textiles don't mix. Unless you want to hide the drugs.

More nefarious implements. Mounted guns and mounted pipes.

Back out front, various vehicles, ready to respond. Well, not these vehicles, they're now forever stripped and mounted. No worries, someone will show up when you need them.
