The Opportunity here is more than just proximity to Boston, it is deliberate work to cultivate local Entrepreneurship. Yes, young people want jobs, but we want to be more than a nametag in a faceless conglomerate. We want more than to just work for someone, we want to work towards something. We need Mentors, we need to be able to look around and see positive role models of people who have done it, who took the risk, who started their own business, and found a community there Supporting them.

I saw a Portland Buy Local sticker on the window and the word "Independent" blazed in front of me. Maine has an Independent streak 210 miles wide, so what is it that the rest of Maine could learn from Portland?
I finally got seated and looked down in awe at the diverse menu, the clash of cultures that in this scintillating melting pot come together to make something new and deliciously Invigorating. Yes, Portland's Diversity is definitely one of the secret ingredients in its recipe of success. The Sharing of ideas, cultures, and ways of doing things that leads to Innovation. But the word isn't Innovation that sets Portland apart, it is nothing but pure Yankee Ingenuity that keeps the fires going through the cold economic winters that seem to never end throughout Maine.
Is it the freedom of expression? The art and music and vibrancy? The camaraderie of not following the flock but of brazen individuality? People can be who they want here, and not just behind closed doors. Here you can publicly express your love. You can hold hands with your partner, you can sell your art in the streets, you can march topless, you can be yourself and be accepted in the community as long as you do the same for others.
I knew there had to be a word that ties all these words together in a happy little bundle with a bow on top. It just refused to show itself, buzzing around my periphery and alluding my clumsy attempts at capture like a taunting mosquito. I pride myself on my follow through, and pledged to myself I would sit right here and keep eating until I found an answer or bust a gut trying.
The restaurant slowly emptied and I resigned myself to my just desserts. I could feel the waitstaff growing impatient, politely burrowing a hole in the back of my head with laser beam eyes.
Then, in the middle of a bite of something sweet and saucy, they flipped around the "sorry, we're closed" sign and my mouth dropped open. There it was, dancing on the tip of my tongue, just waiting to be spoken. Of course I finished chewing, paid my bill with generous tip, and walked out into the calm night air before I did.
"Openness," I said with wonder. "Openness." It would almost sound lurid if it weren't so wonderful. The city is Open, not crowded and claustrophobic, Inviting. The city invites Diversity, and all those other wonderful words which define Portland are expressions of our Openness. The Excitement to try new things, to take risks, to be daring, to innovate. To not be afraid of the different or new, of change or the future, but to be open to it, and thus to help create it and be in front of it instead of being behind struggling to catch up. Open not just to crazy Massachusetts drivers, but to Sudanese refugees. All of us are Portlanders, all of us who dare to live wide open and embrace all we have to offer each other.
I stood in front of my apartment building in anticipation of the sweet dreams that awaited me and opened myself to whatever wisdom the universe offered me. If we want to have the quality of life we all desire, we can't close the door to any one. A home should be an open circle, inviting all to join and share. Like a family, we bicker and disagree but still appreciate each other as essential pieces of the puzzle in which the whole community wouldn't be complete without. I saw a streak of light, a shooting star to wish upon, and wondered if the other stars noticed it was gone before slipping off to sleep.
