The lost fire in Kennebunk is great, Bandaloop is decent as well. Not sure what you’re looking for or what your price range is.

I was trying to just say the same thing as you but in a way that is less... Ambiguous as to the reasoning

>a lot of north Yarmouth is bone dry
You've got 2 brooks merging with the Royal River in North Yarmouth. Last time I was near Runaround Pond, it was not dry so Chandler Brook cannot be dry. Same with the river coming from New Gloucester. Not dry at Cunningham's in the Intervale.

If we can oust NIMBYs, it would certainly help a lot. But that's like trying to oust anti-vaxxers. Impossible to do. They will always exist.
The irony is real. Sad, but real. Build more affordable housing--that is not owned by greedy dickshits who gouge the prices so it's no longer affordable, TYVM--and it would help a lot with the housing crisis.

I've had Fi here since 2020, and it's been great, and the price is right for sure.

Right.
Few complained as heartily as the keyboard whiners of today.

>A 401k millionaire is literally wealthy off of other people's labor.
huh.
So, the contributions they make from their paychecks are actually coming from other people's paychecks?
[That is not how it works!]

They're up everywhere across Maine. Also, WV is comparable to Maine considering it's a rural state, with dying industries and an aging population. But even the Infrastructure in Morgantown is better than most of the state of Maine with bike paths, fiber internet, etc.

Well then. According to most folks in these threads, you are doing very well. Might even be wealthy and in need of having your single family lot turned into high-density housing.

I think that’s where I’m going to go. Thanks!

Coletti's for pizza. Pizza by Alex is gross and definitely not worth the money.
In addition, I hear Fish & Whistle is good, as well as Dizzy Birds Rotisserie.
EDIT: Wok N' Roll for Chinese food, as well. Best in the city, IMO. They recently added online ordering which is good, much better than calling them.
I'd ward away from Mulligan's as well. I used to eat there all the time--cheap, good food--until someone here introduced me to a little thing called "many many health code violations". Thank you, Internet stranger.

I did indeed misread that.
That's much better. Could still be better, but much better than 1000 every ten years.

Yummy House is okay for chinese food.
Pizza by Alex for pizza.

> Let's be conservative and say each apartment hosts 60 housing units on average.
Are you crazy? The average apartment building in Maine has maybe six apartments at most, and the apartments Maine housing built a decade ago had two apartments each, basically duplexes.

Like all those Africans who were kidnapped and brought here? The British who were forced off their land after Enclosure?

Not a restaurant but Rover bagel is the best bagel I ever had. The hamburger stand is still closed for the season but their food is super good.

That’s not how artisan wells work. And drawing from running waterways for domestic and agriculture use is not legal.
Check out the states waterwell mgs database online if you want to check whether it’s comparatively “dry” or not.
