Your Land: Why I am a local optimist
Like many, I have a set morning routine — coffee, a word game, the news. And, I suspect, like many these days, I often emerge into my morning’s work a little wobbly from this immersion; over-caffeination aside, I’ll let you guess which of these three pillars of morning shakes me.

Searsport has had industrial development for over a century, after the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad built a pier for transshipping cargo at Mack Point in 1909. […]
