$3 Dewey's in Portland, Maine Needs Help Identifying Authentic Sign
My absolute favorite bar in Portland, Maine needs your help! This is such a cool story coming out of Massachusetts making its’ way into Maine. The power of social media can truly be daunting at times, but it can also be really amazing when used correctly. I would say that this is one of those times where it’s being used correctly and I’m really excited for them if this works:
Alright guys, let’s do what Mainer’s do and make this happen! This might be a job for tourists as well though, considering $3 Dewey’s is a staple in the city as a “must-visit”. I’m wondering if you or anybody you know has visited Portland around the early 1980’s when they first opened their doors and has taken a photo either inside or outside for their memories. Such a simple photo would mean everything to them.
As a former Dewey’s bartender for a few years, this bar holds a very special place in my own heart. Beyond the wild amount of history it holds, I’ve also met some of my very best friends working at this bar and I’d love to see my former co-workers be able to find some closure.

It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
