The savvy fifteen-year-old was in- spired by his hatred for cold ears and an allergy to wool. According to The Wall Street Journal, “Greenwood’s ears were so sensitive that they turned chalky white, beet red, and deep blue (in that order) when the mercury dipped.” So do we rush to L.L. Bean to celebrate? A member of the sales team says there are “no earmuffs in stock at the Freeport store.” We can’t find a single pair online. What gives, guys? A vintage hand-drawn map of 1920s Portland ($10.95) may soon adorn the walls of student dorms across the country, courtesy of Las Ve- gas online print seller Artscape Galleries. The provenance of the poster remains somewhat murky. Heather Magaw of The Osher Map Library at USM says, “Osher owns the original copy of this print.

So what’s next for Verzosa, a founder of Portland’s First Friday art Walk? “I will be moving back to join my husband David in connecticut and begin a job search. Meanwhile, I’ll continue my work with WMPG, Maine historical Society, the Tides Institute and Museum, and Langlais Leadership Team for the Georges river Land Trust. you can take the man out of Maine, but you can’t take Maine out of the man!” THrEATENiNg After half a century overlooking Route 302, an iconic 13-foot-tall TV repairman has become a key player in a local development debate. Built by musician Al Hawkes in 1962, Lenny “The Walking Man” may soon be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, thanks to a bid by current owner Bill Umbel and local historical societies. If suc- cessful, Lenny would be eligible for ongoing maintenance support–but a landmark designation may also serve to block a roundabout con- struction proposal. In a blog post, Greater Portland Landmarks de- clares it’s working “to gain recognition for the sign now threatened by a Maine Department of Transportation proposal for a roundabout at Duck Pond Corner…” Lenny Lenny cLockWISe FroM ToP LeFT: baTPIGanDMe; courTeSy oMaa; rockhouSe MounTaIn; oSher MaP LIbrary, uSM; DIane huDSon
