[Magdalen] news from home

Portland had a big kerfluffle a few years ago when some old cannery
was converted to luxury condos.

The buyers, all city folk (listen: there's  REASON why harborside
property was never developed. Several really good reasons actually)
complained & complained about the noise and the smells generated
before dawn when the fishing fleet chugged out of the harbor.
Those beautiful rustic fishing boats stink of fishbait and diesel, yum!
And sound like a consumptive bass/baritone.
