…so I did  a little more digging, and it turns out that the Google Maps are indeed old.

The Town of Brunswick has a GIS site (for tax maps, I believe).

It shows the property (23 Hillside Rd.) to have the graffiti on the roof in their Aerial Photo from April 2001.

you call this clean?

Though Consumer Reports had remarked about the Wolf dual-fuel ovens’ lackluster self-cleaning (model number DF304 – 30″). I took that as requiring just a little more effort on my part. I should have listened.

The images tell the story. There is just lots of stuff that will not come out if run throught the self-cleaning cycle. On page 42 of my manual it states: “Never use oven cleaners. They are not necessary with the SELF-CLEAN mode.” What am I supposed to do, live with huge black stains?

Buy from locally owned, independent businesses – Keep Portland Maine Independent

Buy Local – Keep Portland Maine Independent: portlandbuylocal.org
The Portland Buy Local campaign has been developed by business owners and citizens in an effort to educate the public about the importance of supporting Portland’s locally owned, independent businesses.

We believe the Portland Buy Local campaign is critical to our community and our way of life. Locally owned, independent businesses contribute far more to our local economy than chain operations controlled by out-of-state interests. And it’s locally owned businesses that give Portland Maine its unique identity and character in an increasingly homogenized consumer culture.
