These 13 Maine Seafood Restaurants Serve Lobster And Fried Clams Worth Driving For

Carhop service still exists in Maine, and at least one seafood stand uses it to bring fried clams straight to your car window. I love that so much. Lobster and clams on a dashboard tray feel like a road trip that already reached its happy ending. Other stops ahead sit...

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.

Wedding Cake House restoration brings new 'icing' to iconic Kennebunk landmark

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Almost all wedding cakes need bakers for their icing. When your wedding cake is a historic and beloved home at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, however, you need John Desmarais and his crew at Shoreline Millwork in Somersworth, New Hampshire. For much of this year, Desmarais and his team have been crafting cellular PVC trim to replicate and replace the old, wooden, and heavily deteriorated “icing” that decorated the Wedding Cake House for decades. Desmarais said cellular PVC is an ideal substitute for wood when it comes to exterior trim and architectural detail. “It will never swell, rot, split, crack, or delaminate like wood,” Desmarais said. “It is high-density plastic, making it moisture- and insect-resistant, unlike clear and premium lumber. It is ideal for exterior design products.” Including on the Wedding Cake House — one of the most photographed homes in Maine .

New project at Lilac City Grille site in Rochester hinges on tax relief

ROCHESTER — A new restaurant and eight apartments could fill a downtown void at 103 North Main St. , where the shuttered Lilac City Grille was demolished earlier this year. Norman Vetter, the property owner, is seeking 79-E community revitalization tax relief from the city for the project, which calls for the inclusion of below-market-rate apartments. The proposal received a first reading before the City Council at its Nov. 10 meeting seeking nine years of tax relief, and was advanced to a Dec. 1 public hearing with the council. New Hampshire's 79-E incentive gives developers temporary property tax relief in exchange for developing blighted or historic properties that might otherwise stay vacant. Developers pay taxes based on what the property's assessed value was before the development is built for a negotiated number of years. When the 79-E expires, the owner starts paying taxes based on the property's new increased assessed value. What can residents expect to see at former Lilac City Grille site? Vetter's proposal, according to documents submitted to the city, calls for a 3,000-square-foot restaurant space on the first floor and eight two-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors. The proposal states an unknown number of apartments
