When you live in Maine the lifestyle is pretty simple. The people are not, but the day to day is. Why? Not complicated with trying to impress. Or putting material goods higher than family, local community tradition and your neighbor that might need a helping hand. Maine is not stuck inside either. Pretty much tied [...]
Maine is a state that folks are not afraid to speak up. History shows the long felt need to stand for issues, appeal to common sense. “As Maine goes, so goes the nation” may still apply. In a rural state, not flush with money but long on hard work, family values, maybe the sparsely spaced [...]
Maine offers the natural setting folks bombarded with negativity, too much bad news need. A steady diet of expensive city living coupled with non stop crime news, grid lock traffic makes you numb. It’s not healthy. It’s not like that in Maine. But the reality is eight out of ten people live in a city, [...]
Every year for the last ten, the American Folk Festival transforms Bangor Maine in Penobscot County into the place to be for live music. All types of music, song, dance from around the world.
