MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • January 31, 2021
Bob Keyes wrote a very nice article about a company doing its best to revive the coastal Maine economy in a (semi)-traditional fashion, but did he consider the irony of how he described it? West Point village declined and became gentrified. Cape Small Oysters is a step back to a working waterfront. Yet the business is only possible because of out-of-state money fueling the very gentrification the article bemoans! I do not know too many local folks who could afford to buy a defunct store merely because it was justified by waterfront access. Furthermore, what Mainer is spending $100 for a dozen oysters? ~ Nathan Power, Phippsburg
