Yes, and the clever line from a Mainer is: if you don't like it here leave.

Oh, it breaks my heart to hear these negative things about my home of origin. Sadly, I believe each and every story
I spent the first nineteen years of my life in the huge metropolis of Freedom, Maine (population when I was there - approx 350 - 400 people)
I went into the army in 1967 and never moved back, but NOT because I didn't want to! I was the first generation in my family to move away since 1742. After twenty-one years in the army, I said to the wife, "I guess it's time to find a place to live in Maine." Yeah, RIGHT! Not on your life. My wife likes Maine well enough, but she was NOT going to live there. TOO COLD! (She was raised in Florida).
Well, I thought that I would go to college and seminary and by then I would have convinced her to move "back home." That was in 1987 and we STILL live in Indiana. I've pretty much abandoned the idea of moving back, but I would like to visit just one more time before I die. Now we're permanently stuck in northern Indiana, with all of the children (except one) and grandchildren galore living within ten miles from us.
So to the Great State of Maine, "Farwell, but oh, I loved you so."

Maine is eccentric, but I believe you will find that eccentricity in small towns in general. Had I known that, live and learn,I would have moved to a bit more populated area.

Hi Everyone 
I currently live in Ct, but God has called our family to Maine. I am very excited and have always wanted to live in Maine, I don't think I will have a problem being a local, although I have not until now lived in Maine, my father as well as DH's mother both lived in Maine until they were married. So we will be grandfathered in LOL So I thought I would join in here and see who else is up north!

You know when you've been away too long when you look at the list of town officers and don't recognize a single name! Good grief, did everyone move away in the last forty years

If you have children, be extremely careful there is a lot of drug activity in Maine and teen pregnancy.

I suppose things have changed since I left. The casinos didn't help matters.
The drug problem, here, is worse, I think because I am on a boarder town.
Lot's of drugs coming in from Canada.

Perhaps we are building the fence on the wrong border or better yet, maybe we should build the fence on BOTH borders.

That's a good idea.

Hello! I was born and raised there, but alas, I have spent the last forty years wandering in the wilderness. I still long for the home of my childhood.
Which county are you from? My people were in what now is Waldo County since the 1780s.

:o Ditto...Well, I just stopped in to say hi. I was born and raised here in Maine, and I do love it here, but...I'm still nice!
And I like people 'from away'. By some anomaly in my genetic makeup, I don't think I've ever used that phrase and I don't have a Maine accent, though my enunciation has slipped a bit since marrying my hubby 
I'm sorry you're not happy here catlover...I would hope you'd find people within the body of Christ to be at least a little different than the rest of the 'Maine world.' And welcome to you, Autumn Dreamer! Hope you will love it here as much as I do. See you around!
