Mike's Profiled in the Sun

Mike Fink, owner of Mike’s the new sandwich shop that soon to open on Congress Street, was the subject of an article in the Saturday Portland Daily Sun.

A few weeks ago I took a quick walk through the restaurant with Mike. I could see how comfortable this spot will be when it opens. The room is bright and has an easy in-and-out sandwich shop feel. The selections will be many. According to Fink, they will offer not only sandwiches, but paninis, salads, burritos, quesadillas, smoothies, floats, as well as a variety of soft drinks and take-out beer.

Red's Dairy Freeze Demolition

According to a report in The Forecaster the Red’s Dairy Freeze building is going to be demolished and owner hopes to eventually rebuild. Red’s was seriously damaged by fire earlier this year.

Code Enforcement Officer Patricia Doucette said the owner of Red’s has obtained a city permit to demolish the popular, soft-serve ice cream shop that was scorched by an early morning electrical fire on May 16.

Doucette said owner Chris Bolling indicated he would raze all but two ground layers of concrete and rebuild on the existing foundation. The permit, issued last week, is good for six months, she said.

Under Construction: Canelli's

A sign in the window at 7 Exchange Street is announcing a new Italian restaurant called Canelli’s “Fantastic Food at Fantastic Prices!” that’s under construction. If that address sounds familiar it may be because last Spring it was the site a construction site for Wasabi, a sushi restaurant that never launched. A source tells me that Canelli’s is being opened by a Boston area couple who ran a similar restaurant in Massachusetts for many years.
Just up the street from Canelli’s is the construction site for another Italian restaurant, G’Vanni’s which is going in at the old Walter’s space.
