Saco has a “swap tent”. It’s just to the right as you drive in.

Also, when dropping things the construction/wood pile that aren’t quite swap material, but not complete trash, they tell you to put it on the ground in front of the pile in case someone does want it. I got a beat up solid wood kitchen island that I repaired and refinished from there.

Earlier this week I got stuck in the snow at the end of my driveway. After an hour and a half of trying to get out a very kind stranger in a truck with a plow stopped and helped get my car out. Took him less than 10 minutes. I went to work and when I came home, he had also plowed my whole driveway.

Nice people are my favorite kind of people.

you can always check the free section of craigslist

I’ve eaten there several times, I’m not complaining because it’s really not bad and the prices are just, well, 2023 prices… but to me the food always seems a little over-salted.

Texas. You're looking for Texas.

The heroes of Maine. Our public works crew is amazing (their boss is a dick, though, ha). I ran and popped some brownies in a baggie for them when they cleaned out the drains last time we had two storms in such quick succession. They only asked if they were "fun brownies." 😂 My friend used to shovel hr driveway with a $20 after storms and wave it at plows that drive by. 😂 That's how she found her plow guy.

I'm over in Durham and have been since 2016. It's still pretty... Lisbon-y overall, but Flux, Little River, Eastcraeft, Brewer's Barbers and Olive Pit are diamonds in the rough.

Also, Frank's (the pub in the old Moxie store) is inexplicably busy all the time despite my personal distaste for them. It seems wildly popular amongst townies and the over 50 crowd. They have done tons of events over on the lot where the Worumbo Mill was so I'm happy for their success. Hopefully the town turns that space into a nice little park so the community can continue to actually enjoy their own waterfront for a change.

Mr. Plow that’s it’s name that name again is Mr. Plow.

Ahh. Got it.

Jesus Christ you’re still going? The fact you feel the need to write a thesis on why you’re not racist says a lot about you

I thought your reading comprehension seriously needed work, but if you refuse to read anything from people trying to help you understand the things you very obviously don't, I guess that's a separate issue.

I'm not sure where you're getting that I'm a LePage fanboy either? I'm most certainly not, and quite glad he didn't become governor... but that has ~absolutely~ nothing to do with this topic and probably ties back into your abysmally low reading comprehension skills. Similar to how you can't point out where the other user blamed brown people for the housing crisis- You can't, because he didn't.

The user said that single mothers and migrants will move into affordable housing. This is a fact that is true in Maine; these two groups indeed do make up a portion of the tenants that move into affordable housing. If the user said veterans and elderly people, perhaps you wouldn't be accusing them of "blaming brown people" as you put it. Competent people can recognize he wasn't blaming anyone, in addition he tried to clarify this and explain several times that he was simply pointing out that affordable housing is immediately snapped up upon creation. You decided to be a douche to him, like you are to me.

I can explain it to you but I can't comprehend it for you. Clearly the words people say have no basis in your reality, so you do you buddy, I'm done.

Yeah. They get dangerously close to r/wewantplates material at times.

I ordered oysters at Flux once, and they were served on a bed of cold salt instead of ice. So when you went to eat an oyster, it would bring a chunk of salt to your mouth where it stuck to the shell, couldn't taste anything but salt.

Thanks! I left Lisbon in 2012 thinking it was kind of dying out. But I'm happy to hear it's been developing stuff like this.

No gutters

Lots. What part of Maine are you in?

Most likely. For example in my town it’s an awful job, you have to work 6.5 days a week, and everyone hates you when you can’t keep up.

Yeah I knew it'd be Flux.

Is it good food? Yeah. Is it worth the price? Absolutely not. Even before Covid screwed everything up, the prices were ridiculous. 20 whole ass dollars for a chicken sandwich?

Noting that most migrants are brown is racist? Lmao, especially as I’m brown this comes off as desperate. Keep crying into your LePage body pillow

Wow really? So the ads are for the jobs inside the post office?

Not reading your long ass explanation as to why immediately blaming brown people for this nation’s issues isn’t racism. Especially when you’re trying to justify blaming 900 new migrants a year as destroying this state’s housing market. Sorry LePage fanboy. You’ll never see another far right governor again here.

Many mail carriers in Maine are contractors, and earn little pay and no benefits.

Yeah, this is the first time in years I've called a plow. Just moving what was in the driveway was awful, there is no possible way I could have moved that waist-high mountain of death at the end

Love the siding

That's correct. It's really a great spot and well deserved. The prices are definitely on the higher side for the area so I was nervous for them through both Covid and then after that, the massive construction that took forever all down Main Street that nearly sunk a few of the other businesses. While you're in the area, be sure to pop in to Little River Coffee around the corner. Wonderful coffee and great owners. Definitely worth the trip.
