The Portland many of us take for granted...

Although I live within the Portland city limits, my neighborhood is well off what locals simply term "The Peninsula." With four little kids, we seldom have the opportunity to spend much time down the Old Port, and I often forget how lovely our small city is. Within a couple of months, we'll be moving a couple of hours inland, up towards the Western Mountains, and will spend even less time on our cobblestone streets.

Bob Goodspeed is a Portland expat, now residing in the District. He came home this weekend for Thanksgiving, and began photo-documenting the memories of his youth. I highly recommend you not view them if you're at all ambivient about where you currently reside. Fortunately, the rumors of frigid winters keep most potential emigrants at bay.
