    City of Biddeford

    Round numbers have always been a big deal at Yelp. Back in the day, we would all celebrate each…read moreother's 100th and then 200th reviews. That's not as important as it used to be, but this is my 1000th review and we tend to pick them carefully. I suppose that I'm the first to commemorate number 1000 by reviewing Biddeford, Maine but it's no accident. Biddeford is an amazing little city. First, an incredibly abbreviated history lesson. Skip this paragraph if you understand mill towns. Biddeford's mill town community was the workplace and home for generations of immigrants. They came to the mills looking for employment and they started at the bottom, being poorly paid and working under conditions that we would never tolerate today. The mills were busy for years but became obsolete due a new technology called electricity. The old mill buildings became run down and abandoned, the towns were stuck with massive unemployment, crime increased, and it was really bad. Biddeford was luckier than many other mill towns because it became a bedroom community for Portland's workers and because the mills were re-used to make Vellux blankets, but downtown was still depressed. I first saw Biddeford in the 80's and it wasn't pretty. Not only had it been depressed for quite a while, but a huge incinerator called MERC was built downtown and it stunk. And it stayed that way into the 21st century. Fast forward to now and Biddeford is changing fast. The abandoned mills were bought by people with a vision. MERC was finally closed. People have been attracted by the cheap rents in the mills and they're being refurbished at an astonishing rate. I haven't been able to confirm it, but about one-third of the million-plus square feet of mill space has apparently been renovated. There's a group of people who give tours of the old run down mill buildings and they say that in a year or two here won't be anything left to see because it will all have been rebuilt and occupied. There are art galleries, coffee shops, concerts in the local parks, all kinds of ethnic restaurants, and new businesses seem to be opening almost every day. In the last few months, the city has gotten curbside recycling and a new supermarket. This is good stuff for a city that many had written off and I'm glad to write about it for my milestone of review number 1000. I'm giving the city of Biddeford four stars because there's still work to be done and more than a few local politicians act like they prefer the good old days of urban blight. Some bigger businesses have been unable to move to Biddeford because there's not enough parking and there's a big debate about whether the city should build a parking lot. A bright future for Biddeford is within reach and I'm excited to have a ringside seat in my artist studio, located in one of Biddeford's nearly-full mill buildings. And no, I'm not running for office. I'm just excited about where things can go.

    I had a house on Hills Beach for several years and loved the neighbors and the beautiful beach and…read moreviews. The history of this mill town is amazing; workers actually walked a rope bridge from what is now Saco, across the river to the mills in Biddeford. I have mixed feelings about the mill buildings' renovations because I hired so many expert tradesmen out of these buildings when I built our present house. The smell of oil and wood as you walked in was wonderful and it was amazing to see rope still being made in the building. I'm glad however to see the renovations and the new housing coming out of it all. Some incredible restaurants are in Biddeford: my favorite Thai restaurant, Napoli-style pizza made by a wonderful Italian pizza maker to name a few. The shopping area with Market Basket and other stores fills a need for those of us in the area. Unlike other rural surrounding towns, Biddeford is a city and has more workers and bars, so it might have a few more problems, but I have never had a problem parking and walking around at night. Most of the people at City Hall have been great; only once was there an error with a tax bill and it was straightened out quickly. I now own another property there, closer to the downtown, and again, the neighbors are great. Plus, the University of New England there is doing well and growing. I collaborate with one of the professors and enjoy the time spent on our project.
