About this listen

 One of my favorite memories of my life happened in Portland Maine. I won’t go into too many details because it’s not relevant, but it involved a concert at the historic State Theater in Portland. I have always had a fondness for Portland. It goes all the way back to my younger years going camping with my Grandfather. We’d swing through Portland from time to time.

It’s such a cool city that probably doesn’t get enough love because, well, it’s in Maine. People think Maine is so far north it’s practically in the North Pole. But actually it’s very accessible. It’s only about 90 minutes north of Boston. That’s really not bad.

Portland has some amazing coastline, incredible artwork and an arts scene, and some wonderful seafood as well as some of the best restaurants in all of New England. Ever since I was a kid I remember Portland being big in the food and arts scenes. And don’t let me forget sports. There’s a lot of minor league sports in Portland that bring in fans from all over to check it out.

I had a chance to talk all about Portland Maine with the president and CEO of Visit Portland, Lynn Tillotson. I even got a little history lesson in the process. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
