The photo below was our Valentine’s Day treat in 2010. Already two years ago! Notice the Library’s first-phase renovation was nearly done, as seen in the photo. Still, Portland’s mysterious Valentine Phantom saw fit to visit us!
Valentine’s Day 2010
Since Valentine’s Day 1976, each February 14th has greeted Portlanders with paper and banner-style valentine heart decorations. One year, Fort Gorges in Casco Bay was draped in a large valentine. This year, the huge heart banner is suspended on the Portland Museum of Art. Paper valentines, as usual, are taped on downtown shop windows- and along the front of the Library today.
Here’s an entry from the Portland Now blog about Portland’s annual Valentine phenomenon.
Today’s Portland Daily Sun features an article with some fascinating background about Valentine’s Day in Portland.
