A bill now before the Legislature attempts to answer that question. L.D. 546, sponsored by state Rep. Michael Brennan, D-Portland, would mandate the creation of community-based programs around the state that would be used as an alternative to incarceration. When the programs are up and running, Brennan believes that the alternate placements would reduce the head count at Long Creek Youth Development Center to zero as soon as the end of next year

This week, we continue the story of the Anthoine Street property that has long been the site of a nursing home, now Pinnacle Health and Rehab. Last week, we talked about Barnum’s Bathing Rooms that started on the site of the mineral springs there. Isaac Barnum had operated a business that offered the chance to bathe in and/or drink the “medicinal waters.”
The former almshouse (or, City Home) on Anthoine Street, in 1977, after it had become part of the South Portland Nursing Home. The first section of the current-day, one-story building had already been constructed and was connected to the back of this building.
