Portland’s Victorian time capsule that’s still ticking. From the street, the brownstone at 109 Danforth Street doesn’t give much away. It’s a dark, narrow Italianate villa with a four-story tower, the kind of building you might walk past without slowing down. Step through the door, and that changes fast.

New Documentary from Maine Filmmaker Oct. 22
Maine filmmaker Ian Cheney will present his new documentary “The Work in Progress,” including a pre-show event and post-show Q&A session on Thursday, Oct. 22 in Waldoboro. The film invites strangers from across generations and geographies to sit down together and answer handwritten questions from a wooden box about the state of America. Guided by prompts from Executive Producer Robert Reich, participants share candid conversations about democracy, identity, and community, intercut with portraits of Americans at work. The message is simple but profound. America can work because, in many ways, it is already working.

Wells man to release 'working man's anthem' inspired by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
WELLS, Maine — If those who work at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard have ever wanted an anthem to capture their pride and daily toil, they’ve got one now. “The Shipyard” is a new, produced-in-Nashville country song that will drop on numerous streaming platforms on Nov. 13 — and it’s written and performed by one of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s own, Stephen Carrigan, of Wells. Carrigan, 52, has worked at the shipyard for years. “The Shipyard” is his first solo outing as a singer-songwriter in the Americana mold. The song is his ode to those with whom he has worked alongside throughout his career there. As he says on his website, stephencarrigan.com , his song is about “early mornings, confined spaces, a crew of bikers, sailors and every other kind of dastardly miscreant I've had the pleasure to call a friend.” From Great Bay Sailor to solo artist Carrigan is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where he learned to become a sculptor. Upon graduating in 1998, he moved to the Seacoast and teamed up with a New Hampshire sculptor on some large-scale projects.
