More than likely it’s on its way out of state having been traded for a couple days fix worth of heroin. It will if I were a wagering man I would put odds on it turning up somewhere between Connecticut and New York.

In related news look for an OD in the area in the next day or two and you have a prime suspect.

I think the only worthwhile target in Maine outside of the ones you listed would be the VLF towers in Cutler. Not sure how much they're used, though.

Edit: apparently quite a bit

Portland, Brunswick NAS, maine Yankee. That's all based off of cold War Era ideals. Loring used to be on there as well. The reality is now that both Brunswick and maine yankee are basically worthless as targets, maine has almost no real worthy targets. Portland only because of size and deep water port, but even that is low on the scale

I’m sorry to hear this is happening. If you call the office where you applied for a housing voucher, they can tell you where you are on the wait list. It might be worth updating your application anyway, especially if you’ve become homeless since you applied—it could bump you up on the list. Also make sure they have the correct mailing address and phone number for you.

In addition to being on the State section 8 list, it may be worth checking if your town has a separate list. I believe South Portland has a list of their own, and other towns might as well.

Asking General Assistance for rental help in your town might be a way to get stable in the short term. It’s a very financially strict program, and a challenge to work through the rental process, but I’ve seen people get successfully housed through them.

Good luck!
