Well… I live here! My family moved here when I was 2 and had we stayed in Connecticut I would’ve gone to rougher schools and lived in a bad neighborhood. On the down side, there wasn’t much to do growing up if you’re one to be more interested in music and cultural activities instead of skiing and 4 wheeling. Maine is a nice, relaxed place, and most parts are pretty cheap. It’s definately a great vacation spot. People are also very friendly here… sometimes TOO friendly… they start talking to you when you have other things to do…
