I’m psyched to run the B.A.A. half marathon coming up. I’m grateful for my health, and for all the different ways friends and family showed support for my training. Every dollar donated goes into fighting these horrible diseases.

There’s no shortage of foot traffic in Codman Square’s business district, but destinations have dwindled for shoppers as commercial vacancies have accelerated at a pace that has community stakeholders concerned. www.dotnews.com/2025/imagini...

The former Jordy’s Men’s Store closed recently after 65 years in Codman Square, and North Side Family Sportswear closed 18 months ago. The two long-time retailers retired their businesses and left unoccupied spaces. An ATM once occupied a small space in the bank of stores. Seth Daniel photo

A majority of hunger-relief agencies in Maine rely almost entirely on volunteers to do the heavy lifting of distributing food. A collaboration with @themainemonitor, #ruralnewsnetwork

Maine's food pantries stare down volunteer shortage while anticipating cuts

Maine has one of New England’s highest food insecurity rates. Directors of its food pantries say it’s getting harder to make sure people are fed not just because of diminishing federal assistance for food banks and increasing demand.
