Current Talk '06 I / Re: sale at brewster's!

I can't speak for Maine because I never set foot in the state until I was 32 and by then the Brewsters chain was long since history - but I know they had stores in Boston (MA), Providence (RI), Concord (NH) and Hartford (CT). The chain was definitely on the pricey end of the scale (think of something along the lines of NYC's Macy's in the '60s) and when I was 12 I remember being quite in awe of the Boston store because there was absolutely nothing like it where I lived. It was definitely a store befitting the Collinses.
It's probably also worth noting that Shepherd's, a store that Maggie also mentions shopping at, was another real New England chain.
