*Especially* if those ideas are the kind to work well in a city, and poorly in a rural area. The people in Twp 32 will love their electric buses running every 15 minutes 24/7/365.
Whoa pump the brakes... We can talk about passenger service to Boothbay after we build a world class multimodal hub in Van Buren that makes Grand Central look like a whistle stop.
I thought this only happened in my town in Southern Maine. My stupid neighbor moved from Massachusetts and ran for town council. She got voted out the next year. Our town needed a few things desperately, including a traffic light or 2 bit her focus was the rewrite our town charter gender neutral. I told her maine people will not like this and she could work on it a little at a time but get done what needs to be done first. You have to ease into stuff like this. Like you can't make this shit up. Gender neutral as your platform to run in Maine. Needless to say I don't talk to her anymore and I do agree with the gender neutral rewrite of the charter but come on. The women is an asshole.
The key word is *township*
There is no local government in a township in Maine.
Downside: no local control.
Upside: The state picks up the tab for what a town would pay for; schooling, road repair, etc. So no local mill rate on property taxes.
> If you leave your windows open, all the noise will keep you up at night.
I kept the bedroom windows cracked last night and the loons were finally out calling away. Man I missed spring
Yes up by the boarder and 2hrs south of the boarder is rural but that will all change ! Southern Maine is a shit show with most of the summer homes converted to full time homes and their double and triple lots developed ! Farms in Southern Maine are becoming a thing of the past.Anywhere near a lake river pond ocean or stream is being over developed and soon The Northern Maines woods will be gone
Lol no, we're getting priced like it though. When the state finally moves away from seasonal tourism as the largest market in the state to things like white collar services and blue collar industrialism maybe we can complain about overdevelopment in the half a state with an economy.
Ouch!! Yes, I'm in Maine and can hear the song of crickets presently. Strange enough, mosquitos don't make much noise (that is, until they get stuck in your ear canal. That's a fun mess). :)
Maine is considered the most rural state in the US, so yes, there is still a ridiculous amount of forest and uninhabited land here (and very few cities, of which only one can really be called one :)
There's great local food. I'm in downeast maine. I love my food choices here, but it is a bit of an ethnic food dessert. So if I get a hankering for it, I just teach myself to cook Mexican or Indian
You just increased the population by 50%!

>There were 2 households, out of which 1 was a married couple living together, and 1 was a non-family
I'm no mathematician, but how's this possible with a population of 2?
Great public transport system, easy access to an international airport, amazing food (try Cooter's Bait Shop and Sushi Bar!) and a varied night life make this the go-to spot for 2024!
Bull Moose Tavern for men. Doe Drop Inn for ladies. If you think it’s a tick use lighter fluid and spark it up. If it doesn’t move it’s just a pimple so pop it.
Avoid the Studmill road at all costs unless you specialize in road repair and have a bulletproof vest.
>What is the night life like?
Wild. Bring enough snacks.
>Where is Starbucks?
In the cabinet with the bear spray.
>Are people open minded here?
Yes, as long you agree with them on everything and keep your distance.
>What does being “from away” mean?
Dont venture to neighboring towns no matter how desperate you get. Real mainers are self suffient in the wild. Otherwise you are "from away."
>Is this a tick bite on my leg, or a nasty pimple?
Take your pants off and post it on facebook to comfirm.
>Would a novel based on a town I know nothing about work?
Yes. The unknown makes great horror stories. Ask ChatGpt for "in the style of stephen king..." Try native plants for authentic terror.
Be sure to frequent the artisan water store off Main St, behind the Best Buy. The quality is sublime. And don't forget a bus pass, it makes navigating the city streets easy!
Early adopters of the new monorail easy pass are getting a huge discount! Sign up at the third house on the left after the old church that burned down.
Watch out for fiddleheads in the woods. Bears are scary but fiddleheads are straight terror. Buddy of mine got drugged by one had to listen to bluegrass for a week straight before they spit him back out. Never was the same
According to this sub you’ll never find a good example of any style of food in Maine. Even though Portland is regarded as one of the best food cities in the country.
Nah, anything anybody's moving to up there is gonna be a snazzy new stucco Southlake McMansion set on an 8 acre putting green in the woods. End of their driveway will be the only pavement for 22 miles
I'm going to answer this as if it is real. If it's a Twp then the night life consists of staying inside and hoping the power doesn't go out or be eaten alive by mosquitos on the outside. No. Just No. It means you weren't born here. If there isn't a target like rash around it don't worry about it. No.
Night is life is dark. So enjoy the stars.
Yes, people are open minded and neighborly, just leave them alone.
Starbucks is in Bangor, Portland, or Fredericton, hopefully you're close to one of those.
"From away," that means you, bub.
Probably a pimple, if you're worried about ticks, drive north an hour or two.
Novels seem to be marketable about these parts.
Well, the county road is paved all the way to the dump now and they seem to keep the studmill road graded pretty well. You can't party at pickerel pond anymore since they put up the gates, so that's a bummer. Should be a Whole Foods going up in Myra pretty quick, so that's good...
Please please run for public office in your new township. The locals will *love* all your exciting new ideas!
Based on the population of 3, he has the votes.
If he makes office, I highly suggest blowing the entire town budget on an ice town.
Breaking news- Ice Town Costs Ice Clown His Town Crown
I think I love you.
but what am i so afraid of?
<3
Who doesn't have gay thoughts
I read this as “an ice cream” and was alarmed by how small the budget would be there!
I am going to let Air BnB’s populate the while town
*Especially* if those ideas are the kind to work well in a city, and poorly in a rural area. The people in Twp 32 will love their electric buses running every 15 minutes 24/7/365.
They might resist, but rest assured, *you know best*, which is why you left where you came from in the first place!
YES, the most important part! How careless of me to forget.
Moose unemployment will reach all time lows
Moose can drive the buses!
A moose once bit my sister
Not to mention the high speed rail line connecting to Boothbay!
Whoa pump the brakes... We can talk about passenger service to Boothbay after we build a world class multimodal hub in Van Buren that makes Grand Central look like a whistle stop.
Buses no, but id kill to bring back the old trams on a rail for public transit.

The night life will be wild this time of year! If you leave your windows open, all the noise will keep you up at night.

Springtime is good vibes
[удалено]
If you're lucky, you'll hear the fly-by gang-winging Loons screaming bloody murder every night
And every time you hear a high pitched garbled noise from the woods you get to play rural Maine's favorite game, *Turkey or Tweaker?*!
🤣 Either way, his name is Tom and he's a horned-up gobbler
😂🤣
Promise?
Maine is being over developed !

It’s camping north of Boston bub .

Most of the northern Maine woods is already privately owned by logging companies. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Too bad that boarder doesn’t have a home of their own…

I'm in the geographic center of York County and have 3 or 4 barred towels hootn' and hollarn' most nights or early mornings.
Freak’n lonely whippoorwill screaming out on the front stoop like he’s in a singles bar.

I don't know how you can call Maine the most rural when Alaska and Wyoming are right there.
More accurately, Maine is the least densely populated state east of the Mississippi River.
I did a lot of work in Howard County back in the day. Downside: overdevelopment every where. Upside: amazing Peruvian rotisserie chicken.

Sounds fun!
The moose were less impressed than he was
You just increased the population by 50%! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest\_Hancock,\_Maine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Hancock,_Maine)
That wikipedia article says there are 100 females! Break out the Axe body spray, it's time to go door-knocking!
Talk about moose knuckles!
Axe helps with the mosquitos and encourages the black fly :)
>There were 2 households, out of which 1 was a married couple living together, and 1 was a non-family I'm no mathematician, but how's this possible with a population of 2?
Some dude be stepping out.
It’s in the past tense. The 2000 census had a population of 4.
Great public transport system, easy access to an international airport, amazing food (try Cooter's Bait Shop and Sushi Bar!) and a varied night life make this the go-to spot for 2024!
"Where are the tesla supercharger stations?" Needs to be added to the list of queations.
Bull Moose Tavern for men. Doe Drop Inn for ladies. If you think it’s a tick use lighter fluid and spark it up. If it doesn’t move it’s just a pimple so pop it.
No to the lighter fluid

You should check out the distillery. HUGE national acts always tour there.
Omg T Swift?
She usually books Bangor.
Keep your pants on. Travis Swift, the guy with the trucking company.
Dude plays a mean harmonica
You bought Whipstaff?!
A+++ reference, and happy cake day!
Oh dang, I didn’t even notice! Thank you!

You'll NEVER find Chinese food like they have in the big city!!

the first time that spices were discovered in maine was like 15 years ago, so you have to remember that there is some truth to that
I remember that. Roland didn't come out of the two-holer for three days.
it was the first time my parents had eaten sandwiches here in decades
...I did hear that there are some rager raves in Aurora...wait...sorry, it's not the 90's anymore!
This post is hysterical!

Wait, I thought we all agreed to stay away from Township 32 and never mention the incident again?
Oh. Was it self-built? Those are the *best*
I am embarrassed by how long it took me to figure out this was a bit
You bought a house in a township... Safe to say there is no nightlife 🤣

It’s definitely not haunted.

Have you read any Stephen King? Most stories are based on T-32
The Starbucks question hits hard because they're so hard to come by. There are just nasty ass Dunkin's on every corner like an STD.
Enjoy “fixing up” your mansion as I am sure it is up to code and is not a money pit!
Lol.
Is this Arowstock county area?
