“If you ask most comedians, I think they’ll tell you that Maine, for whatever reason, has the best audiences overall. I drive up to Maine as much as I can,” he says. ‘What have you got?’ In Maine, the people are out to laugh. “In Boston, you tend to get that ‘show me’ attitude. He performs each year at the Boston Comedy Festival, as well as the top clubs in New England.

He has performed around the Northeast and in 2005 did a series of shows in Kilkenny, Ireland.
Rattigan has been a comedian for 14 years. On the second date, she told me I cured her.” - Dave Rattigan On the first date she told me she was a sex addict. Who needs a reset button more than Mainers, who are essentially snowed in with their various woes and neurosis between November and April?įortunately, as much as Maine loves comedy, comedy loves Maine. “Even if it’s just one night or just a couple hours, if you get out there and laugh, it’s going to help you change your perspective about things a bit.” The course gets 5 stars, but because my health/safety was disregarded, Fox Ridge only gets 4.“When it’s done well and done live, comedy can sort of help you press that reset button.,” says Dave Rattigan, a comedian out of Beverly, Mass. Proshop and restaurant staff served them anyway. Unfortunately, there were three maskless guys shedding whatever in the proshop and the restaurant when I came in to get water for the ride home. Masks were still required in the proshop and restaurant. The course had relaxed most of the COVID restrictions by early July, as Maine moved into the green phase. The foursome I followed finished in 4.5 hours - without any prompting. There's water and sand, and a 190 yard island green. Uphill and downhill holes, doglegs left and right, blind shots, forced carries.
It is a very nice course.Īfter six inches of rain on the previous three days, it played a lot longer than the 6300 yards from the blues, but the course was in great condition from tee boxes through the greens.įox Ridge provides lots of different challenges.
I don't understand why some stores in the mall are allowed to close so early, (it was 4 or 5 pm) the point of going to the mall is to have access to a bunch of open stores in one building.Īlthough I grew up in the Portland area, I'd never heard of Fox Ridge until I came home for a visit in July. Honestly this mall made me SO anxious I was almost running to get out of it, it may be one of the most depressing places I've ever been.

There is an old DEB store with a busted up sign still over the door, full of liquidated furniture, with a number to call to purchase, and many empty stores that look to be filled with overstock motorcycle storage. No food court, the whole place is very small which wouldn't be a bad thing if it were full of open stores. There is a restaurant in it called Thatcher's, that looks like some wood paneled lodge club from the 90's, next to that was a mirrored wall, extension seating area, totally empty. My husband found a comic book store that he said was cool. There was an active small arcade, similar to a small Chuck E Cheese, and what looked to be a laser tag place that was closed (not sure if it is closed for good or not). Spencer's which was closing down early when we were there for some reason.Īnother main stream shoe store which had also closed early, limiting our choice of where to shop. Limited shoe section there (that was the purpose of our trip to this mall, looking for shoes for my kids). JC Penney which has a Sephora stand in it. I was NOT able to find my 12 year old shoes here, he is in larger kid sizes and they just didn't have much of anything other than adult sizes and little kid sizes.īath & Body Works which is a typical B&BW and was the most updated store in the place.
The whole store was 20% off which was great, I was able to buy my son school shoes and a jacket for a good price. Super Shoes, which have a decent selection of adult shoes and outdoor clothing, the selection of bigger kids shoes is very lacking. It is VERY outdated and stuck in the 90s, honestly it gave me a depressed, abandoned, dystopian feeling.
