  1. Ft. Williams Park (Portland Head Light) - a lot of great buildings historic to the Fort and the park itself is beautiful.

  2. Ft. Preble (Spring Point Ledge Light) - historic fort that is just adjacent to the jetty out to Spring Point Ledge Light. Also, walk around Southern Maine Community College that is in the property as most buildings are labeled with what they were back when Ft. Preble was in operation.

  3. Cushing Point (Bug Light) - this entire area was a part of the New England Shipbuilding Corp where they built Liberty Ships during WWII.

All three are very scenic and very historic. 2 & 3 are easily walkable between the two via the Greenbelt Trail.

Agreed - unless you have a strong reason to stay in Boston and have a devout interest in a specific career path, get a degree at whatever school and go explore. I have an undergrad in Public Administration which worked well in the DC area as an entry point (Political / Legal), bounced to Cincinnati and then Delaware doing various things but here I am working in beer in Maine. Over time, unless you are in a specific profession, degree focuses don’t matter.

We have a great one that has a spring loaded perch that drops and seals the access based on weight. Birds up to the size of Blue Jays are not a problem. Squirrel? Shuts them out immediately.
