#***"We don't like flatlanders 'round hee-ah."*** That especially includes the liberals along our coast. They are the ones that are helping to import foreigners the rest of us don't want and can't afford to carry. Yes, Mainers tend to take their time warming up to strangers. But if you are broken down on the side of the road or some other calamity, Mainers will stop to help you out without asking for compensation, IF you're not a jerk. Yes, we generally don't warm up to strangers as quickly as other states. Maine is great, 4 seasons of fun, coastline, mountains and everything in between. Best fresh lobster and seafood in the world. Mostly woods with lots of trails. Lots of cold freshwater lakes, streams and ponds to fish or enjoy. Wild berries, maple syrup, big deer, big moose, Blackbear, turkey, partridge, pheasant, ducks, woodcock - hunters paradise. Snowmobile trails, ATV trails, hiking trails, downhill ski mountains, cross country trails, snowshoeing, skating, ice fishing ... Something for everyone. What will suck is the price of heating oil (Maine predominantly heats with oil) but most have a woodstove to help endure. Gasoline is an issue too, the rural communities are spread out. However, property taxes, vehicle registrations, income tax, sales tax are all pretty high here considering the lower average wages. That's my quick summary of Maine in a nutshell.
