Swallow your scorn along with a mouthful of pinot noir. Wine served in a can is the only way to drink your favorite libation on-the-go. Known by our UK and Australian neighbors as ‘tinnies,’ wine and mixed spirits in cans are firm favorites at picnics, or anywhere–we snapped these cans up at Port Lobster in Kennebunkport ($6.99, 375mL). Much ado was made of the relocation of The Girl on the Train film [release date Oct. 7] from Lon- don to New York, as critics queried how the protagonist’s penchant for UK store-bought gin & tonic tinnies would translate across the Pond. America, it’s time to get in with the tin. “Tinnies” First there was a short-lived bar in Berlin, Ger- many called “Kennebunkport.” Next, food trucks crisscrossed Manhattan carrying lobster rolls. Now look who’s channeling Maine. Ben Hodgetts, Portland native and owner of the new Seattle bistro Bar Harbor, is enticing the West Coast with a taste of Maine. “I’ve always won- dered why the lobster roll or its equivalent isn’t a thing out here,” Hodgetts says. Now it is a ‘thing.’ The menu includes lobster rolls, whoopie pies, New England clam chowder, and “Seattle’s equivalent to the lobster roll: Washington’s own in- digenous Dungeness Crab roll.” Alas, no Moxie on tap. Sister Mary Aloysius, 84, one of the last remaining cloistered nuns in residence at the Sisters of the Precious Blood Monastery on State Street, passed away recently at Mercy Hospital. Sister Mary, born Angelina Bernadette Venezia, first entered the Portland monastery in 1952, where she took her sacred vows and devoted her life to prayer and quiet reflec- tion. According to the Portland Diocese website, “The Sisters lead a hidden life of si- lence and sacrifice to draw down many graces upon our Church and our world.” She is survived by her religious family, Sister Mary Catherine and Sister Mary Jo, who still reside in the monastery on State Street. Bar Harbor, WA In Memoriam An event as rare and spectacular as a blue moon: The Downeaster train recently added the “Great Dome” car to delight travelers between Brunswick and Boston for one fleeting month only. Built in 1955 for the Great Northern Railroad Seattle-to-Chicago service, the window- lined car was transferred to Amtrak in 1971. For the price of an economy ticket ($25 one way), passengers from Portland to Boston’s North Station were rewarded with panoramic views of their surroundings. The highlight? “Scarborough marsh for sure,” says one passen- ger. “However, you do pass lot of industrial areas. Which is great if you’re a model train en- thusiast!” The car has now moved onto its annual passage along the Adirondack Mountains between Montreal, Albany, and New York. And after that? How about a return visit to Port- land? “We haven’t determined the Great Dome’s next route,” says Mike Talbot of Amtrak. Sounds like time for a letter-writing campaign.
