South Portland, Maine:

While the city is considered suburban, it also has a diverse economy, which is displayed by its working waterfront and large retail center.
Home to the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line, millions of barrels of oil are shipped to South Portland each year, which is a major portion of the inbound tonnage entering the Port of Portland.
Rigby Yard, the largest railroad yard in New England, built by Portland Terminal Company in 1922, is still in operation to this day and is part of the Pan Am Railways system.
The city is also regional headquarters for the technology company Fairchild Semiconductor.
Emerging as a retail center, the Maine Mall is the largest and busiest mall in the state and attracts thousands of shoppers each year.

Oh, and this lighthouse you might recognize:
