South Berwick, Maine

The Salt Center for Documentary Field Studies, an organization dedicated to the research and preservation of Maine culture, hosts a project focusing on women's lives in the tiny community of South Berwick, Maine. One of these women is Freida Hunter-owner, manager and driving force behind one of South Berwick's central gathering places, Flynn's News. The atmosphere and the attraction of the place came largely from Freida herself. Besides bearing the financial burden for supporting her family, Freida was fuelled by a genuine concern for her regular customers at Flynn's, both young and old. Her dedication to customer service inspired Freida to get to work every day at 4:30 a.m., and kept the citizens of South Berwick coming into her store day after day.
