Maine was always an interesting state to me it rarely ever gets talked about and I'm curious on how its like up there is it warm is it cold does it rain or is it windy and what are some of the best towns/cities?
It’s like South Baltimore, just less specific.
Sometimes it's warm and sometimes not. It rains, but never when you want it to. Now its cold, but atleast it's sunny and warm. It's green, except when it's white.
The best towns all start with P, like Portland, Presque Isle, Paugusta and and Pjackman. The people are all nice too, except if you cut them off on the road.
This question was really vague and subjective, so my answer is also vague, and sarcastic. Hopefully, though, it answers your questions about a state with at least 2 different climates and widely ranging economic environments in a neatly boiled down answer.
California was always an interesting state to me it always gets talked about and I'm curious on how its like over there is it warm is it cold does it rain or is it windy and what are some of the best towns/cities?
See how pointless the question is?
There's a reason a lot of horror movies/TV shows are set in Maine.
Depends on the season. Depends on the season for all of your questions.
And what the best town or city is depends on your preferences, my friend.
> There's an old saying up here. If you don't like the Maine weather, wait a minute.
I'm pretty sure this is an old saying everywhere.
Maine does all those things. You can wake up to 40 below zero or wake up to 70 and humid. With mosquitoes that seem hell bent on killing you. Great seafood. Moose tend to pop up on the road when you really don’t want them there. Course a moose on the road is rarely good. People are generally nice unless they are commuting to and from work on 295. Then grandma is riding your bumper at 85 mad you won’t get over.
I've traveled all over this country, and I can safely say that if you ask a local anywhere, they have the worst cops and drivers, the weather is unpredictable, and they have just the best pizza / burgers
It’s horrible here, lots of violence and roving packs of feral dogs. A Sasquatch carried off my friend’s son last weekend, we’re still looking for him….
Whatever you do never come here, and let everyone you meet know how truly awful it is.
I think Connecticut drivers are the worst. Go to the Connecticut sub reddit and look at the driving comments. They're lunatics. Batshit nuts.
It's horrible! A 1/8th acre cabin in Aroostook County (you know where THAT is? Basically Canada!) costs $750,000! Animals destroy the garden, everyone LOVES Trump, people hate each other, anyone not a straight white republican is at HIGH risk of an unnatural death, and lobster is currently $80 a pound. Half the population over 70 years old freezes to death every year.
stephen kings the reason horrors are set in maine
Dark Shadows, the TV show, predates Stephen King's first novel.
ah. so one example. gotcha
I'm sure Stephen King has a lot to do with Maine's being typecast as the "horror" state. However, those of us who were around during the Dark Shadows craze of the late 60s and early 70s know that Maine was already associated with horror and the supernatural. Thousands of people, who would never have visited Maine otherwise, flocked to the Acadia area to see the location where the fictional village of Collinsport was located. Even The Saturday Evening Post published an article entitled "In Search of Collinsport."
stephen king has everything to do with the words maine and horror. its not often you can attribute an artform in a place to one person. kinda like bob marley owns the title of king of comedy in maine
Stephen King has a lot to do with Maine and horror, but not everything. Who is Bob Marley?
he has defined horror set in maine. name one other screenwriter/author that has set anything in maine. hes at the peak of katahdin for his field. are you from maine?! bob marleys a household name there
>name one other screenwriter/author that has set anything in maine.
Dan Curtis, Robert Matheson and Grace Metalious all set TV shows and books in Maine before Stephen King published his first novel.
Why are you going on ad nauseam about this? Neither the Portland Press-Herald nor the history professor quoted in the article claim King is 100 percent responsible for Maine's association with horror. You need to stand up, straighten out your panties, and attempt to calm down.
