A city you should visit!

Portland Maine is one of the best small cities in the U.S.  Located in the Southern portion of the state, Portland has the largest population in Maine – 250,000 in the greater Portland area – and one of the most diverse cities north of Boston.

We Mainers liken Portland to a scaled down version of Boston.  Don’t let the size fool you – Portland boasts a rich cultural heritage that dates back well into the 1800′s.  The school districts located in-and-around Portland consists of a diverse student body representing over 70 + countries like Iraq, Sudan, Spain and many more.

It’s a great city to visit and even better place to live.  Ranked as the 2009, “top food” city in the U.S. by GQ Magazine,  Portland provides a vast aray of restaurants (Fore Street, Bresca,  Emilitsa) to quench even the foodiest of foodies palates.  Stop in for a Strawberry Margarita at Sonny’s and mingle with the locals to background sounds of Miles Davis to the Foo Fighters.

We love Portland!  To find out more about this great city visit Portland’s Downtown District website, or call  207-772-6828
