Since it's opening in 1912 LL Bean has become a staple of Maine life. It is nearly impossible to go on a drive and not catch someone wearing their Bean Boots or jacket. Last night I ate dinner with Lincoln Benedict, a Bates graduate, who now works at LL Bean making short web videos for them. The company sends him all over the world to shoot videos. He is a cool guy and loves his job. This video is a national TV comercial that he helped make. Enjoy!

She Doesn't Like Guthries
Lewiston Maine does not offer too many quality eateries. One of the places I love to stop at and pick up a bite to eat at is She Doesn't Like Guthries or Guthries for short. In the last few weeks I have been visited by a few different people from my home state of Oregon. I made sure that I took them to Guthries for the friendly atmosphere and great food. If you ever find yourself in Lewiston Maine, make sure you make a stop!

Dolcelinos
Fucking delicious ice cream sandwiches made in Maine. I had my first Dolcelinos at Uncle Deans Groceries which is the best grocery store in the greater Waterville area.

Penobscot Nation
This semester I am taking an Anthropology course titled Indigenous Peoples of North America. The Penobscot are one of a few Maine Native American tribes that I have learned about. A great book on them that my teacher recommended is Penobscot Man by Frank Speck.
Although not centered on the Penobscot tribe, another book that I recommend is Native American Architecture by Peter Nabokov and Robert Easton. I recently purchased the book and have been consumed by it since I got it. It is a fascinating book that goes in-depth on the role of Architecture in Native American culture and provides text and beautiful pictures of the variety of buildings. Many of the buildings have enough information and plans that I could attempt to build one but probably fail.
