I have a very dear friend born and raised in jonesport area and I have been to that town and down east area many many times. First of all if you go down into jonesport it's a fishing village very small unless you have a doctor skill or something you can give to those towns people they don't want nothing to do with you. If I have a choice between eastport and jonesport I'd go to eastport even though it's quite a bit Northern to jonesport. Jonesport is down a long peninsula and to get on and off of that peninsula is a long drive. Maine is filled with these types of peninsulas and there's one way in and one way out you do not want to live in one of those.

I lived in boothbay harbor and Winter harbor and spent a lot of time in jonesport. Eastport is the answer but it is extremely extremely rural rugged and very difficult. Pick a town that's right off of route 1.

The scenery is stunning and beautiful. The infrastructure is non-existent. Don't know about the Wi-Fi. The loneliness and isolation can tear people apart. Good luck now you know why the job is open. Edit. There's any way you can move into the Ellsworth area that's way better and way more populated. I had two babies born at Cape Coast memorial hospital so I'm sweet on Ellsworth.
