Portland, Maine

[M. Brown]

Me and the fam went to Portland today just to get out. Its a nice lil' city. I def. wouldnt mind living there, especially since I know that I wouldnt be the only black person living there. Portland has a rather large black population for a small NNE city. You Portlanders have a real nice city. I must say that Portlands downtown is a whole lot bigger than Manchesters and it does feel bigger than Manch even though it isnt. Enough of me talking. Check it out.

Back to talking. I would have taken alot more pics but it was gettin late. I got there at 2 and we spent like two hours trying to find a resturant to use the bathroom. I def. have to pay another visit.

Hmmm I didn't see any black people in the pictures, are you sure they are there?

I think I've replied to this thread in another forum, but while I am here I will say once again, superb work skip!

Oh man thank you. I lived in Portland for 10 years in the 80s/90s. It is such a great city. They even have 2 city beaches! There are some great city views with the harbor in the foreground if you go across the bridge to South Portland.

LoL. There were a some when I was there. Of course there isnt that many there but more than I thought. AND CHECK THIS OUT. on the way there they had a Popeyes on one of the rest stops. I couldnt believe there was a Popeyes in MAINE. I so wanted to go there. For all you people who havent had Popeyes if you try it you will never want to go to KFC again. I gurantee it.

I'm black too so when ever we go somewhere were trying and look for black people. Especially up here. LoL

They must must have just been more in the area we were at. I also havent considered some of them could have been tourist like we were, which I should have done.
