Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Maine and the seat of Cumberland County. Portland's population was 68,408 in April 2020. The Greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, the 104th-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Portland's economy relies mostly on the service sector and tourism. The Old Port is known for its nightlife and 19th-century architecture. Marine industry plays an important role in the city's economy, with an active waterfront that supports fishing and commercial shipping. The Port of Portland is the second-largest tonnage seaport in New England.
The city seal depicts a phoenix rising from ashes, a reference to recovery from four devastating fires.[6] Portland was named after the English Isle of Portland, Dorset. In turn, the city of Portland, Oregon was named after Portland, Maine. The word Portland is derived from the Old English word Portlanda, which means "land surrounding a harbor". The Greater Portland area has emerged as an important center for the creative economy, which is also bringing gentrification.

Portland, Maine seems to have a more lively and densely packed downtown with a lot of buildings despite having a lesser population compared to Manchester, NH.

It’s funny I just click on this video because I am thinking of moving back to Portland with my dog. I was just looking online for apartments and jobs but didn’t find much! I had a lot of fun living there.

@@chadwicks5681 I don’t know when you lived here but there is nothing fun about it now.

Best ever. Perfect introduction to any city, Imaginative, non-chatty, comprehensive enough to know what u r getting into. Who are the geniuses that came up with this approach, and the expert local yokels who helped design the route -- and pinpointed the time of "best light". Keep up the exquisite work.
