Maine

[ampthejazz]

Ok, I'm copying Jersey4Life. His post about New Jersey got me curious: when you hear the state of Maine mentioned, what do you think of? I'm curious because I've had people ask me if I have running water and electricity and stuff like that, and I'm just hoping not everyone thinks of Maine like that! :p

I think of snow, and being cold. All the times times I had to dig my drive way out of four feet of snow in Jersey and all the times my hair froze at the bus stop. OMG, I hate cold weather.

A cool summer evening near the shore of the northern Atlantic with a spot near a lighthouse that is perched above sea level on a grassy meadow that descends a steep cliff to a impeccable white sandy beach.

I think of the fact it borders New Brunswick.

I think of fantastic seafood. I'm from Rhode Island, so I love good seafood, but the stuff in Maine (like lobster) is amazing!

I don't know, I have an ignorant view of Maine... Old Style Buildings and well, yeah snow. Sorry:lol: :icon_redf

Light houses! Portland didn't do much for me, but Bar Harbor was such a nice spot! We stayed in the nicest little B&B. The room was essentially in the attic of the house - so the ceilings were all sloped. The shower had a sky light in it - otherwise I wouldnt have been able to stand upright! There's a ferry that runs from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth Nova Scotia - which is the route we took.

YAY MAINE!!! I’M A MAINER’ TOO:smilewave

I love Maine and I am sooo glad that I got to grow up here. When I think about Maine I think of the forests, coast, nice people, cool climate, and the cute accents:icon_wink. I love a good ol’ Down Easta, I prefer ahh’s to R’s. I also think about our communities and the people and how everything seems to slow down and be peaceful. Even though my school is poor and we don’t have much, we strive for our personally best and it makes us happy.

A lot of people think that we have no power or water and that we have a blizzard 350 days a year. They always think that a bear is going to get them, and that we have to tie our food up in trees. (One time I did tell someone that we build tree houses to put our refrigerators in.:eusa_whis) But really we live like all other people; we have nice houses, AC, good cars, some cities, just without the crimes against humanity.

Maine is who I am

I went streaking on such a beach once last summer. :p



And yes, our lobster is superior to all other lobster. :D

I think of STEPHEN KING... deadly flu epidemics, evil clowns, aliens, guys who can see auras, rabid dogs, the Devil himself setting up a shop there... lol

Seriously, I think of Stephen King. I'd like to visit Maine someday. I probably will.

I'm a native Mainer who moved to faraway New Hampshire. The lobster is fantastic, but a little pricey this year...I love Maine and want very much to move back. I grew up in Sanford (a down on it's luck mill town) and want to move to Portland. How many Mainers are here?
