Our new September issue is out! Perhaps you'll spot one in the wild like we did. This particular copy said it loves long walks on the beach and stunning ocean views.

Holy gigayacht, Batman! Great shot of this monster from one of our staff members.

One of the many acts David Geffen (cofounder of Dreamworks and instrumental in the double album from John and Yoko) signed was Crosby Stills and Nash. See our interview with Graham Nash in "Vinegar Thrill." https://www.portlandmonthly.com/portmag/2022/07/vinegar-thrill/

Listen now to our story "Secrets of the Deep."

On May 16, 1944, two young British naval officers launched their two F-4 Corsairs from Brunswick Naval Air Station on a training mission over Sebago Lake. This—and perhaps only this—part of the legend is undisputed.

If you're caught up with our story "Super Yacht Spotting" from July/August, we have a new sighting for you! Just launched in 2022 by Italian shipyard Baglietto, we found the 125 ft Enterprise anchored off Kennebunkport. It’s a mystery who’s on board, but we know two things: they’re paying $196,000 a week, and they’re from somewhere abroad—US citizens can’t rent the yacht in American waters.

In memory of David Geary, we've linked to a 1990 letter to the editor from Richard Pfeffer where he speaks to Geary's craftsmanship and recognizes his role in bringing the first microbrewery to Portland. In the words of one of our staff members, "He was a special person as we who have met him know. He's made a huge impact on the Maine brewing industry."

We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Tony Bennett this morning. We were fortunate enough to interview him back in 2019, prior to his performance at Merrill Auditorium in October—a truly delightful and thoughtful gentleman.
