How to live in Maine
It made me
happy? 
"Don't really remember much! "
How I did it: My daddy was in the Navy and was stationed in Kittery, Maine when I was about four. We lived there for two years before getting transfered to Connecticut. My dad's from Maine, so I remember seeing family a lot and getting lots of snow, but that's about it.
Lessons & tips: Nothing really. Dress warmly, I guess! And get a snow shovel. lol
Resources: The Navy got us there, but I don't think they have a base there anymore. . .

I was born and raised and still reside in Maine. I hate it. And plan on moving soon. Maine has nothing to offer but bad weather, crappy jobs and rude people. SAVE YOURSELF AND STAY OUT!

I was born and raised here in Maine and I am still living here 25 years later. It is beautiful. I would still be in my home town of Millinocket if there were any jobs up there but southern maine is nice too just different.

I’ve lived here my whole life. Born and raised. Despite what a lot of people think, we aren’t all “hicks” or “hillbillies”. It’s not all woods and dirt roads. We do have cities. And I have yet to meet anyone with an “accent”. And I don’t see people walking around barefoot in overalls and plaid shirts with one tooth. It just doesn’t happen, and it’s stereotypical. Anyone who’s ever lived here or been here can tell you this.
It’s nice, and it’s relaxing. There is stuff to do, so it’s not boring. The summer and spring are nice, and fall is too. I just don’t like the winter. It can get really cold and snowy. Don’t get me wrong – snow is beautiful. But it gets tiring after a while, as you can imagine.
My dream is to open a bookstore in a coastal town in Maine. A used bookstore. A used bookstore that only sells literature, poetry, drama, travel books, language reference books, art books, and history books. No business books or computer science books. Just old school humanities stuff. And I’ll have a couple of cats wandering around. And I’ll have built the shelves myself from old wood. I’ll live upstairs, and my commute to work will consist of descending my beautiful spiral staircase every morning. My wardrobe will consist of many cardigans of varying colors and weights, some new and some gently-used with fraying holes where the pockets are. There will be a never-ending supply of coffee, the air will smell like dust and worn leather, and NPR will be on the radio 24/7.
That’s the dream.

I have been living in Maine for six months now. Just north of Portland, in Yarmouth, it is everything you can expect from a small coastal town in Maine. Recently, i have been venturing into Portland and other areas, it’s an amazing place.
