This Historic Maine Mill Is Hiding A Massive 10,000-Square-Foot Antique Treasure Trove

An old shirt factory with 16-foot ceilings now holds more than 75 dealer displays of antiques. I had no idea a building that once churned out dress shirts could become a treasure hunt this big. The brick mill sits right on the Kennebec River in Maine. Its story stretches back...

This Maine mountain has a 100-year-old tower and a view that inspired a famous poem

Camden Hills State Park spreads across about 5,500 acres in Midcoast Maine, just north of Camden, and Mount Battie is its crown. The summit rises nearly 800 feet, and from there the wooded slopes drop straight to Penobscot Bay. You can see the harbor, a scatter of islands, and on a clear day, Cadillac Mountain far off in Acadia.

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.

This week at the Harbor Theater

"Wicker" - (R; 1 hour, 45 minutes) - In a quiet seaside village where tradition rules and gossip travels fast, a fiercely independent fisherwoman (Oliva Colman) has had enough of being mocked and judged by her narrow-minded neighbors. Tired of being treated as an outcast and determined to find happiness on her own terms, she makes an extraordinary decision: commissioning a husband crafted entirely from wicker. But when her unconventional companion becomes the center of an unexpected romance, the village erupts in jealousy, outrage, and increasingly outrageous chaos. Blending dark comedy, romance, and a touch of the fantastical, Wicker is a wonderfully eccentric tale about love, loneliness, and the absurd lengths people will go to preserve the status quo. Both mischievous and surprisingly heartfelt, this offbeat story challenges expectations about relationships, belonging, and what it really means to find your perfect match. Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m.

Rolling Thunder Picks Up Wreath Laying Tradition

Local veterans’ groups have cut ties with controversial non-profit Wreaths Across America and are planning to scale back the annual pre-Christmas wreath-laying ceremony. The Southern Maine Veterans’ Cemetery, which has hosted the annual event, and Rolling Thunder Maine Chapter 1, which raises funds for the event, say they could no longer afford the affiliation. Last year, it cost more than $78,400 to lay wreaths for all 2,800 graves, according to Linwood Dall, member of the cemetery board. The cost would have been higher this year since the cemetery has expanded to 3,300 graves.
