Maine is made up of many tight-knit communities – from rural areas to dense city neighborhoods. And it’s usually not a line on a map that shows us how to find these communities, or how to understand what holds them together. We’ll look at the connections that make strangers neighbors and friends, as well as people who challenge us to decide how we want to show up in our own lives. First, we’ll get to know a famous figure who drew a city together while remaining completely anonymous. Then, we’ll ask what being a good opponent at chess can teach us about building strong, long-lasting relationships.

A Ghost Anchors an Inn Keeper, and Maine’s Sounds Tell Stories
There are so many ways to know a place – maybe you know the best place to grab lunch, the best place to stargaze, or the best way to beat traffic on a Friday afternoon. You might have a deep understanding of its geology or history, or you might know the families who’ve lived there for decades. But there are other ways of knowing a place that might not always get our full attention. Like the smell of the earth, or a sidewalk after it rains. We explore some of the invisible, intangible qualities than not only define places in Maine, but in some cases shape who we are in them.
