Pinball machines and classic arcade games, like Skee Ball and Centipede, are being transported from Arcadia National Bar’s current location on Preble Street in Portland to the former home of Port City Music Hall on Congress Street – a move that Arcadia co-owner David Aceto said he felt he had to make to save the business.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Jess Hainsworth had no idea when she began dreaming up the idea to expand her thrift store, Honest Thrift Studio, into a coffee shop that the grand opening date would happen amid the peak of a global pandemic.
“I was already eight months in financially, mentally, with my heart, so when everything came together for it to open in June, I went for it,” Hainsworth said. “We were able to open well, mainly because of the people who showed up, repeatedly, to buy the lattes and the baked goods but also because we’re 100% outside. Even if we had wanted to put a seat indoors, we do not have a spot to sit someone inside.”

Over the past year, as we’ve slogged, cried and persevered our way through the pandemic, I’ve tried to offer up ways to support local music venues and musicians. This week I’m pulling a slightly different thread by suggesting some retail therapy in the form of record shopping in and around Portland and through local stores online. Not only will you support local businesses, you never know what you might find while out there flipping through the stacks.

A fire last May at the Maine Jewish Museum forced the institution to find other exhibition space at the former Nissen Bakery building on Washington Avenue in Portland. But now, with repairs and renovations completed, it is back home on Congress Street. The inaugural exhibition, “Mixing It Up” (through March 19) certainly lives up to its name. Organized by resident curator Nancy Davidson and ceramist and art collector Elizabeth Ruskin, it has no particular discernible theme and ranges far and wide.
