Mainers tend to be creative and innovative folks, and Centre Streeters are no different. In March of 2000, when the Covid pandemic hit town, we all scurried to our safe homes and Zoom screens. It wouldn't last long, we told ourselves.
Then summer arrived, and we could safely do all those outdoorsy things that the rest of the country associates with Maine—hiking along the rocky coast, sailing on the ocean, kayaking on lakes and rivers, climbing Mount Katahdin, sneaking blueberries from the neighbor's field, complaining about the high cost of lobster, following VERY SLOW campers lumbering up and down Highway One, and so on.

But then winter hit. What to do? What to do? Somehow a Zoom production of "The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon" sounded like more fun than another paint-by-number of cocker spaniels. So off we went, and we are—inexplicably, some would say—still at it. |
