I had the same reaction when we went there! I was expecting some tiny little place that looked more like “someone’s hobby” rather than a legit museum. The place is fantastic, and the collection is massive! That room of drawers next to the gift shop - SO fun to go through.

Lol, no. It’s not slow at all. That line is pure volume of customers, not back-up from slowness. CFA has got drive-thru science down to an art and moves that shit out fast.

In the Portland area renting sight unseen is entirely normal. Units go so fast, and the waiting lists are so long that rental companies/Landlord’s have little incentive to show units beforehand. When you want to see it but there’s 5 other people in line desperate for a place, willing to take the risk and sign a lease immediately, you’re shit out of luck.

With that said, Craiglist is scam central. Unless you go through many steps to verify the person is who they say they are and owns the property, you’re setting yourself up to be scammed.

Maine Vintage Toys in South Portland might be what you’re looking for.

You should probably hide your receipts the next time you want to be an asshole to someone asking for help.
