Totally. The yard is great too. Hopefully they come back soon.

I hope not, it's so low key and relaxing there. The post said they were working some things out behind the scenes, which I guess could be a lot of things. Maybe issues with their distributor or something ?

I forgot about Lonestar. I used to love the Bonanza when I was a kid. Bonanza, the Ground Round, York Steakhouse and the old IHOP. My childhood favorites out near the mall.

Bonanza was over there.

He's earning his keep! Mine like to "help" too, especially the beagle.

Cabelas or Renys, but I would check Renys first. I've gotten Lodge cast iron at both.

I like Sebago or Tuscan Table depending on what I want to spend and whether or not I want to watch something on the TVs from a booth in the Sebago bar area. I've liked everything I've had from Tuscan Table and Sebago is just reliable pub type food.

Yep, we looked at a bunch of them and opted for one that has an oven in the bottom, not that the oven was the reason for the big price jump, but it was made in Australia and took basically a year for us to get it. Oh well, we're really happy with it, it's efficient and we can make pizza or other stuff when the power is out. It's been nice not hearing the furnace kick on at night when it's cold. It heats our entire house after running for about an hour.

Full install for me including Stove, pad and Chimney was $8,300 in the Portland area. The actual stove that I bought was almost 5k of that. I had to pay for quite a bit of chimney though to clear the roof, around $1500 worth.

It has to be because I was shocked to see one of the places I worked for a brief time on this list. Aside from a small management team that had been there for years and years, the place was a revolving door for staff. It was chaotic, there was no training, and the job had a really bad work / life balance. After a few months of trying to teach myself how to write code using google (I am not an analyst or developer) I asked when I would start doing the job they brought me in to do, and I was told that it would not be happening anytime in the foreseeable future, so I quit.

I heard the Lost Fire in Kennebunk was really good, but haven't gotten down there yet.

Same thing at my place also in Cumberland county I open the door to let the dog out and 5 moths fly in..

I feel like the Royale Lunch Bar in Portland had those and they will be coming back in some form soon so maybe they will have them again.

Wow, I dont think I have ever seen one of those in Maine. The last McLaren I saw was in London, it was the orange one and it was parked in front of Harrod's. Far cry from Maine.

How is this going to show up though? Will a burger that costs $17.00 now cost $25.00, or will there be a 10% service charge "to pay our workers a liveable wage" on the bill? I think if it's the 2nd scenario that will most likely impact the amount people tip.

Otherwise if you're a tourist on vacation or going out to a special occasion dinner I'm not sure that people will tip less. I know I've had to cut back going out just because of how much it costs. I won't stop going out altogether and I will tip when I go out, but I will probably have to cut back even more if the prices were higher.

Yep, the folks I know who work there do a lot of traveling and put in many hours. One that I know left because he was so tired of being home Saturday and Sunday and then leaving again Monday.
