    well if i was going to vacation in Maine, it would be well north of Portland…there you will find true America without all the political b.s. , crowds, and crime…. the people are the real jewels of Maine, where they'll give you the shirt of their back if you need it..stop by and have a beeah, have a bah b Q, take a 4 wheelah ride, go skiing, water or snow, or just sit beside the pond and listen to the loons and the woods filled with wildlife..and the real estate hasn't been snatched up by the people from away and is much more affordable…if you plan to make a move to Maine, leave your political shit where you left it, and don't try to make a magical place "better"

    I can't make up my mind about which of the two I prefer between New England and the Deep South. My two favourite regions of the country. I live in Ohio right now and have been slamming my head against the wall about whether I wanna move to Alabama or Maine.
