The Tontine Mall has been a staple of the Brunswick scene for years. Much hasn't changed about it;…read moreit still smells the way it always has (like cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli - it took me years to find this captured in a bottle, but I finally have!). I've always liked it's long shape, it's brightly light atrium area for dining or reading, it's overall cleanliness, and the shops who call it home: specifically Wild Oats (one of favorite eateries in the entire state of Maine), Indrani's (where the intoxicating smell I'm obsessed with originates; it's a really cool shop specializing in globally inspired/sourced/imported home goods, gifts, clothing, jewelry, etc.), and one entrance into Eveningstar Cinema (an intimate, artsy, single screen indie movie theater that is charming and unique and smells of deliriously rich popcorn). I just feel like this spot is a frozen moment in time in the best way possible. Bathrooms available immediately upon entering, and down the flight of the stairs to the cinema. There's always parking available right in front on Maine Street. Basically... please never change, Tontine.

What this has become over the year's, I am unsure. This used to have a lot of great outlets, but…read morenow they are few and far between. Why? LL Bean is why. Pretty soon the town will be slowly absorbed by the mega giant, in a similar way to the local Great Desert of Maine. Not that I enjoyed shopping here but the town is going the way of the shopping mall. It is an ancient relic of the past and the town is dominated by the ever-growing monolith that is LL Bean. Nothing to see here folks. just keep driving.

Their products are known to be pricy, but the materials used are top-of-the-line and the quality unmatched. I can't speak much to anything I own from them, because it's simply out of my price range, but it's a wonderfully-curated store located right on Exchange that is perfect for the high-end fashionista in your life.

Most shops have already moved on to the spring stuff by now, but Van Heusen had a good stack of sweaters and pullovers. In decent sizes, colors and wow, the prices were excellent. I picked up a decent maroon pullover and a pair of sleeping pants that both will keep me quite warm. Well marked down, too! [Review 10034 overall, 1618 of 2018.]

Located right on Commercial Street is the perfect location to catch the eyes of tourists. It is a good sized store although some spots if busy can turn into a traffic jam of people. They have a large variety of Maine clothing and random assortment of things to remind you of your trip to Portland. A lot of prices were what you would expect of a tourist hot spot gift shop. No interaction with staff ourselves but they seemed friendly with customers who bought items. Good enough to look around, but if you have the time check out the similar nearby stores as well! You may find better deals and/or items.

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!
