The way life should be

If it weren't for the 7+ months of winter weather, I probably would have moved back to Maine by now. However, the warmth and year-round beach weather here trumps all the little things that I miss about living in Maine. Still, it's a pretty cool place to live and most people have no idea how cool it is.

  • It's a picture perfect place to film movies. Cider House Rules, Pet Semetary, Message In A Bottle, and In the Bedroom were all filmed in Maine.
  • Stephen King has been a long-time resident of Bangor, Maine.
  • Acadia National Park is the second most visited national park in the U.S.
  • McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) was born and raised in Maine.
  • Freeport, Maine is the home of L.L. Bean.
  • Maine is the #1 exporter of blueberries and toothpicks.
  • From October 7th to March 6th, Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor is the first site in the continguous United States to see morning's sunlight.
  • Legend has it that the donut hole machine, earmuffs, power drill, snow plow, thermostat and toothpick were all invented in Maine.
  • Mainahs have wicked cool accents, ayuh!
