For the last decade, the James A. Banks Sr. Exposition building in Portland, Maine, has been centered around professional basketball. The Portland Expo has been home to the Maine Celtics since their inaugural season in 2009-2010. Constructed in 1914, the Portland Expo is the oldest multi-purpose buildings anywhere in the United States and while it has been focused on professional basketball for many years, it was once home to some very memorable concerts.

When you're one of the younger children in the family, back-to-school means lonely days at home without siblings. I'm the youngest in my family, and I remember when my brothers went to school. It was just my Mom and me at home during the day, so she did her best to keep me occupied. But still, I was without my brothers to tease, to play with, and to drive crazy. So instead, I followed her around and drove her crazy (I'm sure) with complaints of being bored.

It would have made no sense to make a movie based on Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda game series and not include the words “The Legend of Zelda” in the title. But most video game movies will augment the source material’s name with some kind of subtitle. That’s how you get Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and A Minecraft Movie, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and so on.

There's never a shortage of people walking through the doors of the busiest Target location in the entire state in South Portland, Maine. Because of just how busy it regularly is, the South Portland Target store is often the first in Maine to change when the company is beginning an evolution in a different direction. And if you've visited the Target in South Portland recently, you've already noticed at least one big change coming to the store.

M. Night Shyamalan is the guy you go to for twisty thrillers like The Sixth Sense, Signs, Split, and Trap. Nicholas Sparks is the guy you go to for occasionally supernatural (and occasionally also twisty) romances like The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Dear John, and Safe Haven. Their latest project is an unusual collaboration; a story they wrote together that seemingly combines both of their particular interests. Sparks then turned it into a novel and now Shyamalan has made the movie version.

A "big memorial" is in the works to honor the life of ex-Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams. The 48-year-old who wrestled as "The Butcher" died Sept. 5 after collapsing during a wrestling event in Pennsylvania. Hana DeVore, Williams' wife, announced the memorial in a social media update earlier today. "Please keep sharing stories, photos, videos.

There’s something extra special brewing with Caroline’s Cup, a new coffee truck bringing great drinks, seriously cool aesthetics, and an even better story to Maine. The inspiration behind Caroline’s Cup is deeply personal. One of the owners and founders, Eskay, created the business in honor of her mom, Caroline, whom she lost to breast cancer.

If you’ve driven down Pleasant Street in Lewiston lately, you’ve probably noticed something different at the old Ramada. And if you grew up around here, you definitely noticed. The property has already been transformed into the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Lewiston, with a major renovation and a brand spanking new restaurant, The Maine Grill, bringing new life to a place a lot of us remember for weddings, parties, nights out and plenty of memories.

Writing about Maine’s dynamic food scene really never gets old, and there’s a simple reason for that: it’s consistently among the best you’ll find anywhere. And that's not hyperbolic. I’ve spent quite a bit time in different parts of this country, and few places can compete with the Pine Tree State when it comes to fresh, local ingredients, creative dishes, and outstanding hospitality. It's like Maine was built to be a culinary mecca.
