6 Maine Bakeries Where You Can Skip The Thanksgiving Baking Without Sacrificing Dessert

One Maine pie stand runs on the honor system. You pick out a homemade fruit pie, drop your cash in a box, and head home with dessert handled. I love that kind of trust. Another spot on this list sits on a quiet coastal road and sells wild blueberry pies with buttery, flaky crusts. A third has been turning out old-school cakes and pastries long enough to earn a reputation as an enduring local favorite.

Sanford voters pick Tranchemontagne to lead city as mayor

Greetings! Welcome to another Friday and to the first dispatch of November from your Coast Star Connection! Hope you had a nice week and are looking forward to the weekend. I had the strangest experience on Wednesday. I found myself standing there, staring into a dark and unrecognizable void. I was convinced I was gazing right into the vastness of outer space. It took me a moment to shake off my disorientation and actually comprehend what I was seeing. It was the inside of my mailbox. It was empty. For the first time in weeks, it was not stuffed to the gills with political ads. Once I got my bearings, I felt a wave of relief. It was a sensation I suspect most people have felt since the election on Tuesday - including local candidates, most of whom have no control, or even beforehand knowledge, of the ads mailed out that are either for or against them. In any event, congratulations to the elected and thank-you to all who stepped up and ran for office. Ah, but we're not done with the election yet! Below are six stories for you to read, and four of them are about the election.

Greater Portland’s 9 Best Under-The-Radar Thrift Shops For Incredible Bargains

Somewhere in southern Maine, you can buy secondhand clothes by the pound. Not by the shirt or the hanger, but by weight, straight out of rolling bins. That detail alone sent me down a rabbit hole. My list grew fast: a church shop with old-school prices, a community center closet open only a few mornings a week, and a resale spot that invites you to race to the rack.
