Take It Easy: Portland, Maine in the 1970s

In the 1970s, Portland, Maine was a struggling seaside city on the cusp of change from a traditional working class gathering spot to a popular tourist destination. Take it Easy offers a remarkable series of long-forgotten black and white images captured by amateur photographer John Duncan that wonderfully capture the innocence, mood, and spirit of the both the city and the seventies before the malls emptied out the traditional retail districts and as urban renewal, high-priced hotels, fancy restaurants, and office buildings slowly began evolving to change the streetscapes and the skyline forever.
