LITERARY ADVENTURE: the great lost bear in portland, maine.

I took a jaunt up to Portland, Maine and visited The Great Lost Bar, an epic bar that makes a number of appearances in John Connolly's Charlie Parker series. Having read about the bar for years and years, it was a thrill to finally make it there. My bartender, Bird, was a literal hoot; she made my time there quite fun. I met some fellow Jerseyans, and had some excellent local beer, after a hot toddy, of course.
