Westbrook
Westbrook is the answer to a question Portland refuses to ask out loud: where does someone go when they want the coffee and the shows without the studio-apartment surcharge? The old Saccarappa Falls grind still hums through downtown, only now the mills push cidermakers and climbing gyms instead of paper. Main Street has actual sidewalks, actual parking, and a Riverwalk that does not pretend to be Brooklyn. Daters here trend pragmatic, late-twenties to mid-thirties, the sort who moved out of the Old Port and quietly stopped missing it. Bring conversation, not pretension. The rent gap funds the second round.
