Oh! I want to go to Dinner in Portland to night so I can get a rock put through my window tonight-not.
Businesses in in Portland again have again been diminished in value. You can thank the local politician’s.
Don’t forget about the extra 2-4% portland will be adding to sales tax.
if he is a full time drug dealer this “portland man” has no income and should qualify for a state attornney but there isnt one… so he will get out in 7 days charges dropped after 14?… right?
Does anybody really go to Portland anymore? Remember when it was fun to go to the old port? Those days are pretty much gone.
The name “Keon” says it all.
“Portland man” ? Born and raised in Maine and imbued with Maine values ?
