Episode 5: Portland’s Downtown District

Welcome to Portland’s Downtown District, where everything about Maine—from its history and the present are all rolled out into one place. In fact, if you are here, there is nothing much to ask for, really. It’s like an outdoor gigantic mall where there are lots of food stalls and fine dining restaurants to fill our bellies, clothing stores everywhere, home depots, and theaters. Only the Portland Downtown District has an amazing view of the waterfront. Here, you will see antique shops. If you ever have rare collections that you want to update or want to sell, this is the perfect place to stay. And speaking of antiques, you will see that Portland Downtown is exactly the opposite of New York, Las Vegas, and other modern, technology-inspired cities. Portland Downtown still has its history intact. The building, the churches, the cobblestone streets, the schools, the downtown trains, the artwork, and even the culture—it’s very different from the other bustling cities. So if you want to live in a city where everyone is not so engrossed and attached with digital media so much, always put Portland in your priority list. Why? You can get to see and savor all this goodness and more. And the view of the waterfront, which is just a few steps from here, where can you get that in LA or NYC?Photo Downtown Portland 25 by AlexiusHoratius is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0
