Thread Name: Maine President's weekend?
Subject: RE: Maine President's weekend?
Sorry to have missed Naemanson's Song-House last week, but a plethora of (fortunately minor) crises all week seemed to conspire against it, and there was just too much left to do sunday.

I have to be out of town tomorrow (Sat. 02/17) but would be interested in anything Sunday PM.

Re local eateries; Word has it that the Cannery here in Yarmouth was closed down for a spell due to repeated code infractions - "Child Labor" issues, and I'm not sure what else. The buzz is that it has been "going downhill" recently, but I don't know what it's current status is. The last time we ate there was last Summer, and it seemed OK then. I would be inclined to reccomend the "Rudder" up Rt. 1 just a little ways (which has a bar), or the "Down East" also on Rt. 1 in Yarmouth, which I think might be a little more "family" oriented.

For the in-between compromise between "elegant dining" and the "golden arches", we have "Chowderheads" also on Rt. 1 near the CVS Pharmacy and Romeo's Pizza. Simple but sustantial fare in an informal setting.

Whatever the itinerarry, enjoy your visit to Maine, Susan!
