My friends over at frame d'art, a pithy little blog, were kind enough to post their snapshot of the latest gossip-inducer in Portland's political scene. Apparently, Anna Trevorrow, running for school board, had to take down all her signs after mispelling Tomorrow (that's right there's only one m in tomorrow). Now it's just Anna Trevorrow for a better Tomorrow. I feign ignorance on most of the

So, not surprisingly I get referred to as a “little girl” a lot. It usually comes from men over the age of 40. It happened today. One of my employers sends me on weekly lunch pick-up at Anthony’s Italian Kitchen, and Anthony himself always greets me with a smile. Today, he scolded them for sending “such a little girl every week to pick up such a large order.” The Gloria Steinem in me might find

A short note: Little Girl is now on Twitter. You can now see what's going on in the little city and providing fodder for my next post by tracking me there ( a scary concept?!) Twitterers large and small have been providing great insight into the DNC. My favorite Twitter post thus far comes from The New Yorker's music critic Sasha Frere-Jones. On Hillary's intro music: "What the Joe Hill is this

Ah, Portland nightlife. Nightlife? Posed as a question in the north woods and a good Mainer will scoff at you. You mean the sound of the crickets? Red solo cups by a fire in the woods? The kind famed Maine comedian Bob Marley jokes about. I don't want to laugh at his jokes when I hear them. But I have to. I get them. I am, after all, a Mainer. And a Portlander. I heart The White Heart. I know the

"Meet me at Silly's." I've been saying this a lot lately. Silly's meteoric rise on my list of top gathering spots is in no small way due to their eccentric menu. And their location. Which, you may have guessed, is also a stone's throw the to new apartment. (I apologize for continually bragging about the fabulous location of my apartment. Oh, heck. No I don't. It's a fabulous location). Silly's

Little girl tends to go stir crazy. A lot. Which is why I love to hop two feet up the street from my new east end digs and lay out on the huge lawn that is the Eastern Prom. The Eastern Promenade might just be the nicest place in Portland on a sunny day. Sure, you have the ornate architecture and tulip beds on the Western Prom, but for sheer grandeur the E. Prom takes the cake. It's a great spot

After two years on the West End of Portland, Maine, I have finally made the move to Munjoy Hill and the sun still shines here on the East End of the city. Many people espouse the community up here on the Hill, and I hear my little city is a hilly town, so I better get used to the elevation. And the sights. Which are diverse and lovely just the same. Walking up Congress St. headed towards the
