Finding Your Side Hustle
Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021
A lot of people think the newer and shinier something is, the better it has to be. I respectfully disagree—which is why my husband and I purchased the old Broadway Inn in coastal Maine with the goal of restoring this 1860 beauty to her former glory. It’s taking longer than planned, thanks to broken joists, crumbling walls, holes in the roof, and other unexpected adventures (including a ghost cat in the upstairs rooms). We fell in love with the old inn a couple of years ago while on a hunt for a new town closer to my New England roots. Plans are to reopen it to guests as a self-catering style inn, while also hosting a live podcast and a curated series of seasonal events that will feature writers, storytellers, musicians, filmmakers, beekeepers, chefs, artists, historians, and other interesting folks. The talk is hosted by Sunrise Senior College, part of the University of Maine at Machias.
