This Maine Butcher Shop Serves Fresh Meat That Beats Anything At The Supermarket
Sausages get made right behind the counter here, sometimes while shoppers stand there watching. That’s my kind of grocery trip. This Maine butcher shop works with whole animals from local farms. That means the steak, pork, and chicken have a short trip from pasture to counter. The shelves go...

American Island Towns That Still Depend On Passenger Ferries For Everyday Life In 2026
When The Ferry Is Basically Your Highway For most Americans, missing the bus is annoying. In these communities, missing the ferry can mean missing your connection to groceries, appointments, work, school, supplies, or the mainland altogether. From tiny Maine fishing villages to remote Alaskan settlements, these 25 American island communities still rely heavily on boats in 2026. Could you handle planning everyday life around the ferry schedule? Factinate Ltd. #25.

Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout
Elizabeth Strout is a fine writer, and novels such as The Burgess Boys and My Name Is Lucy Barton are very good. Still, Olive Kitteridge, her 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of interrelated stories, has an immediacy and fierceness that one finds in only the very greatest books. Sequels nearly always disappoint, and it cannot be said that Olive, Again has quite the range and power of its predecessor. Nevertheless, the book does an excellent job of revivifying the ill-tempered, truth-telling Olive and her neighbors in and around fictional Crosby, Maine.
