New Mexican Restaurant Opens in Yarmouth, Maine

In a place like Portland, Maine, restaurants opening and closing seem like a weekly occurrence. Residents and visitors to the city fully expect that there will be turnover with something new to try and something old to miss.

But that's not always the case is some of Maine's smaller towns. Change can be difficult with many restaurants and shops holding steady even when they change ownership.

So when change is inevitable, it becomes big news in that small town. And one place in Maine has had a lot of big news in a short amount of time.
