I’m moving to Midcoast Maine. I’m far too excited for all that coastline. Plus I’m almost as close to the whites where I’m moving as I am now. I don’t know if I could ever leave New England. I love the entire area. Even Massachusetts.

I lived near Mt Washington in NH and had all seasons on a rear wheel drive car and did fine. These days I’m in a Camry and as long as the plows are about regularly I can get around if I’m not being an idiot. I’ve found as long as I’m keeping a good amount of tread in my tires I don’t have many problems.

My brain hates the sight but is intrigued by the flavor.

Just think of it as ribbing your sibling. We get on each others nerves. Tease eachother. But at the end of the day we’d be there if something went wrong. (Like after the last big storm it was MA linemen that restored my power) You can drive yourself crazy over the jokes but in the end that’s all it is.

I think if anything actually bothers me about it is when people do care so much. I’m a born Masshole, grew up in Nh and now live in Maine. No New England population Is as different from eachother as these stereotypes act. Maybe it’s because I spent a year in living in North Carolina and that gave me culture shock but anytime I see New Englanders bicker it feels like siblings poking at eachother

It’s not that deep bro.

Yeah I think you never really had to think about it. I remember kayaking on our local golf course when I was younger and all sorts of flooding. As for the Fall part I remember October snowstorms dumping tons on us. But with the warm weather that would just be downpours instead of accumulation.

Beyond the long spout of warm weather this doesn’t seem that weird for fall in New England. plus it’s also been real dry these past couple years hence all the drought talk during the summers

Sorry. I’m a born in Mass. raised in NH and moving to Maine person who got suggested this.

This isn’t just a Vermont attitude. You see it in all of New England. And in my experience people will bitch but if you’re coming in and being a part of your community. Not trying make it your old neighborhood you’ll be welcome. My wife started a job in mid costal Maine working on a boat. She uses that area like other boat workers do and has had no problem fitting in. I plan to work local business when I get there. HellIf you have new ideas. You will be welcome if you talk to us right. If you come and add too much change too fast, and pretend a local economy doesn’t know how it will be affected you will find people are unhappy. Especially if the prices you bringing push out the local workers.

Things change over time. It’s not reasonable for me to be mad over new things being introduced slowlybut if you’re coming and asking for a system to be changed immediately you need more than “because this is how we handled it here”
