A hotdish restaurant in Rockland, Maine, raised over $1000 (£775) through GoFundMe – all in just one week! Read about how Beavers Misbehave. And if you live in a town full of maple syrup producers and deadbeats, you might want to copy their way of life too.

A hotdish restaurant in Rockland, Maine, raised over $1000 (£775) through GoFundMe – all in just one week! Read about how Beavers Misbehave. And if you live in a town full of maple syrup producers and deadbeats, you might want to copy their way of life too.

Zane Tingley, owner of the 50-seat Rockland diner on Route 1, Maine, is a contemporary take on something that is becoming much more popular in this country. Take two and a half days and drop in for lunch, dinner, an early dinner, a late dinner or even a late breakfast. The menu offers everything from a shrimp Benedict to a mushroom pate and pizza, in addition to freshly baked bread.

People are appreciating the restaurant’s simple menu and homemade vibe. Tingley has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of money raised – currently over $1,500 of that goal has been donated to the Marine Mammal Fund. One man who donated $1,000 wrote: “It’s over 9 months since my husband passed away suddenly. I do not have the mental fortitude or mental fortitude to open another business on my own. But I am aware that neither should Zane. So I will do what is good for me…” Read the full story in the Washington Post, and thanks to the Tingley family, who I blogged about before, for this story!
