Mimes confront SeacoastNH.com editor J. Dennis Robinson/ Photo by Phyllis RobinsonEDITOR-AT-LARGE

It’s hard out there for a mime. The world has turned downright hostile to silent comics in white-face and striped shirts. But be fair. What did a mime ever do to you? They’ve been around since Ancient Greek and Roman days, and many are highly talented actors and athletes. But be careful. Even a mime can break your heart.

Market Square Day, Portsmouth, NH (c) www.SeacoastNH.comREMEMBERING JUNE 1978

Long before the Internet, cell phone, laptops and iPods there was Market Square Day. Thirty years later, those who attend the annual June block party may be unaware of its humble beginnings. It was local people celebrating the revival of the city’s downtown – a revival that marked the marriage of the arts and history that continues to this day.

Not everybody goes to the finest eateries. Not everybody loves opera. Not everybody likes historic houses, but everybody loves Gilleys. At least, that’s the way the editor sees it. For almost a century the foot has been hot, fast and cheap – just like your – no let’s not go there. But let’s definitely go to Gilley’s late-night lunch cart.

EDITOR AT LARGE

The editor vaguely recalls the low life in Portsmouth back before designer beer, health codes and homeland security. In its final transition from hardknuckle seaport to family destination, the downtown scene was cheaper and cheesier, if you knew where to go.

EDITOR-AT-LARGE

Portsmouth finally built a new library after 20 years of talking about it. But that isn’t the first thing Portsmouth did right. They city also took over a failing condo health center, made it better and made it available to residents cheap. How can we complain about local government if it starts getting smart?

Old Portsmouth Library Could Be New Culture Center Print E-mail

Portsmouth Visitor & Culture Center / SeacoastNH.com Art COllageEDITOR AT LARGE

Portsmouth loves to recycle old buildings. The "old" library itself is actually three separate connected structures. Why not combine them again to solve the city’s #1 problem? What we need is one clean well-lighted space that connects everything so that Portsmouth finally makes sense.

Boy or girl? on eBay/ SeacoastNH.com
EDITOR AT LARGE

We’re always combing through local online auction items from Portsmouth, NH and, mostly, it’s the same stuff over and over. But every now and then an item out of the ordinary. Take this late 19th century photography, for exaple. ANd look what someone paid for it.

 

 

 
Who Stole Winter? Print E-mail

Ice: frozen water often found in drinks and formerly in winter / SeacoastNH.comEDITOR AT LARGE

Any New Englander knows that the best way to make it rain in the summer is to wash your car. We’re guessing the best way to kick-start the snow and ice is to simply ask out loud – where the hell is winter? Did somebody forget to tell Jack Frost that it’s January already? Or has Al Gore already launched the endless summer?
