Anyhow, I worked as a field service engineer in the early 80's up at the
Fairchild plant in South Portland. Living at the Ramada and having an
aversion to eating in Restaurants by myself, I found a number of great spots
in Portland to feed and lubricate myself at. I have eaten on the boat, but I
prefered 3DDs, the great lost bear, and a couple of long forgotten
bar/rest.s where I could feel comfortable eating at the bar, and drinking
good beer. Afterwards I moved from Philly to the Boston area for 9 years and
occasionally would make the drive up to Portland and Freeport (to Christmas
shop). I studied Computer Engineering at SouthEastern Mass Univ (Umass
Dartmouth) where Richard Golen teaches.
You must know about that great seafood place on the South Freeport Dock?
Only open in the summer. Damn, the name escapes me... wait Harraseekets. Or
something like that.
I miss the seafood of the east coast.
Anyhow. I had a rabbit those days. Does that count as VW content?
