I make $500,000 a year creating misinformation on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram.

Most recently telling people snow is made out of plastic because snow doesn’t catch on fire when lighting it with a lighter. As long as the middle class and lower class bicker to each about worthless things, life is good.

Yes, solar. Obviously that project had a cost to it, but the last two massive increases have rapidly accelerated our payback period.

There's a couple record stores in Brunswick if you get a chance to come back. Also in Brunswick is a weekend only flea market in an old mill that has quite a few records.

Deep Groove is great. Small store but not too small, and the owner is a cool guy. Prices are a bit higher than The Record Connection but you will only find mint records there, all cleaned on a vacuum machine.

Yes. She is great

Especially since that whole area was anchored around the mall and now the mall is basically gone.

How is your electric bill so low? Solar??

Retail in general is in an extremely tough spot right now. Cost of goods, wages, and utilities have skyrocketed, but for many sales are still below where they were before the pandemic. Supply chain issues have persisted somehow as well.

Fresh beans, a quality grinder, and pour over brewing makes a much better cup of coffee than Dunkin or Starbucks. We could buy much cheaper beans, but we both love our coffee.

I’m actually from Vermont. We went to Bar Harbor last year for vacation, and hit up as many record stores on the way as we could. I thought the Record Connection was probably the best store that we hit. Great used selection. I think the space is an old pharmacy that has been rehabbed. There’s plenty of room to grow. The Vinyl Canteen being in second place. There’s a good one in Portland, but the name escapes me.

Ethan Morton, Gardner Group. Great agent!

Went there a few years back, I should get down that way for sure. There's another store that opened fairly recently in Brunswick I keep meaning to get to as well - Deep Groove Records

Tim Crosta. Really great guy and really knowledgeable

Facts - I am aware of a high school student from Kennebec County who is supremely talented in basketball (and also happens to be very tall, so that helps), but instead of playing at their "home" school, they're now going to an academy a couple hours away in order to get noticed/recruited/scouted/etc.

There is most certainly a classist system in high school athletics. Only those who can afford to go do things to get noticed will actually get noticed. Everyone else doesn't have a chance.

And officiating too, which is a whole other discussion. There are official shortages in many places also.

I was replying to the “relatively slow fall and winter”

That hasn’t been the case.

You’re getting downvoted by the realtors for questioning the insane fees. Bear in mind Portlands two industries are hospitality and real estate.

How come I can transact $100,000, even $1M on the stock market in .01 seconds for $0 commission, but have to pay someone who took a 40hr class $9k to fill out a template?

Any market can stay hot if the transaction volume is well below the demand. If 10 people wanted to move to Millinocket a year, but only 3 houses within an hour were listed per year, you could have one of the hottest markets in the state.

You haven’t been watching the Portland market huh
