We used to go at least once a year, sometimes more. The summers are pretty glorious-
My wife has family near Portland, so that was a gathering place for her clan for many years.
I would definitely recommend taking up @lwin on his kind offer. I'm sure the city proper has changed a lot. I do remember a place, near Bath? called 5 Islands where the lobsters basically went from boat to tank to plate (with a steam) in short order. One time, a brass band, in classic regalia was playing. It was like Sousa or Sgt. Pepper's or something, DownEast style.
The city itself has some great old buildings; at the time I was making those trips, it wasn't really gentrified in the way it probably is now.
