Explore Portland, ME

Built on a peninsula reaching into Casco Bay on the state's southern coast, Portland, ME is the largest city in Maine, about two hours up I-95 from Boston. MRI, CT, and rehabilitation assignments here serve as the regional hub for southern Maine and a large part of the northern New England coast. I-295 spurs off I-95 to run through the city, the jetport sits minutes from downtown, and South Portland and Freeport make practical residential bases. The Old Port's cobblestone streets, the working waterfront, and the Eastern Promenade give travelers plenty to do near the harbor, with island ferries leaving from the piers. The metro fills with visitors each summer, when its population swells well beyond the quieter winter size.
