Something that brings people together and allows us to connect and slow down is my Dad’s business. My dad runs a shop that takes old Volkswagens and either does regular repair or bring them up to snuff with modern equipment to handle the road more reliably. First of all, the vintage Volkswagen market is already
A place I know that is similar to the Kissas discussed in the essay would be an old Irish pub in the town next to mine called Hooligans. My family used to be frequent customers of this pub, eating there, and working there. It was a small place that was very intimate and community driven,
The Kissas article explains the theory of the “Third Place” which is something I’ve noticed less and less as time goes on. The third space is simply another spot outside of your home where you are able to not only build a long-term relationship with that location, but also the people in the location. It
1- While my family is not one of many sentimental moments or places, my brother-in-law, who was recently welcomed into the family, has been a much-needed addition to the family’s sentimental feelings. While our local tavern in Winthrop, Maine, is nothing compared to the authentic hole-in-the-wall establishments that he is used to back in the

A place that fills that role – as well as being the most aesthetically comparable place to Craig Mod’s description of a kissa I know – is The Store Ampersand on Mill St in Orono. This is a small store and bakery with a limited but variable selection, an organic bent, and a cluttered-but-warm atmosphere.

One such places that fits this for my life specifically is Small Point, Maine. My father’s side of the family has lived there for generations, each passing on their lived experiences to those younger than themselves. On some level, every member of the family has at least in part grown up on that coastline. Everything

What serves the same purpose as Kissas in our own family: My grandparents’ house served the same purpose as a Kissa in my family. We all came together as a family and returned to this place multiple times a year for different events. That house was a constant and more or less unchanging aspect of

For my story/pictures I went right outside of our classroom and took these photos. I wanted to showcase almost the art of Habituation. The definition of habituation is repeated exposure to something/an environment makes you less likely to notice something or respond to it. All of these pictures were taken in a high traffic location
These images are the best photos of my project so far. The locations are also great places around campus that I love to visit. The first main location is the Stillwater River. It’s a great place to relax, go for a swim, or kayak. It also encompasses a lot of what campus means to individuals
My general focus is the coastlines of Maine, as they are locations I have very fond memories of.
