Away from Home With No Insurance
After college I lived for a month or so in my Volvo Stationwagon until I maxed out my credit card and had to get a part time job in Yarmouth Maine at Maine Roasters Coffeeshop. I rented a small room from a crazy old lady who let her dogs poop in the living room and fell in love with New England. Alas the poop got to be too much and I needed to make more than a couple of hundred bucks a week so I left and drove cross country without car insurance, my how things have changed.

But the town's not terribly unique, and thus not high on the list of places to spend a few days. It's a bit too big (pop. 7,800) to be charming; too small to generate urban buzz and vitality.
