This map shows how Susan Collins’ electoral firewall crumbled in York County and other parts of Maine

In her previous five races for the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins had never lost York County. Her ability to overperform other Republicans in the southernmost part of Maine’s left-leaning 1st Congressional District served as an electoral firewall of sorts, helping power Collins to a string of victories over her 30-year Senate career.

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 .

Demolition in Dover to make way for 173 housing units, restaurant

DOVER — Demolition of the existing building at 47 Chestnut St. is moving forward, with plans for a mixed-use development on the parcel that will bring more than 170 residential units, plus a restaurant and commercial space. The project was originally approved by the city Planning Board in 2022, and an extension was approved in March 2025. The property was previously home to Family Dollar, a NH State Liquor Store and Iron Empire Gym, but has appeared vacant for years. The project received a demolition permit in early November. This movement follows a delay attributed to financing the project, Francis Bruton of the Bruton & Berube law firm wrote in a request for a project extension filed with the city in the spring of 2025.
