At work or at church is how most people in rural Maine hook up. The old port in Portland has plenty of options for bars. They are not all meat markets.

Reply to Maintain the integrity of our town! Preserve Freeport’s charming and historic parking lots! by bitesandcats
The thing that I think many people on this sub don't understand is that Maine culture is rooted in a tradition of never changing ANYTHING! It is one of the things that has kept Maine underdeveloped and therefore a desirable place to live. Maine has always welcomed visitors but has always at the community level discouraged "transplants" or "people from away". It's not as much NIMBY, as "it's always been that way and it should not change". People want to come to Maine because of the way it is. Rural, quiet, and backwards in many ways. Maine has had this pervasive attitude as long as I can remember. Most Mainers resist change.

Housing is difficult but I think you could fall into a paycheck without any trouble whatsoever. Jobs are everywhere.

Is there a better sub for people who are looking for help? Seems like so many people are in need. I don't think r/Maine is the proper forum. GoFundMe maybe?

Or you could play chicken bingo all night long. You might need a lot of newspapers tho.

You should take them inside if there's not too many. Just for fun.

Reply to What brand of steel toe boots do the old timer construction workers, miners, and farmers wear in Maine? by Thro-it-a-way
If you are not sure what kind of boots you will need get Dickies from Walmart at a fraction of the price and upgrade when they wear out with your fancy paycheck!

Reply to This may be considered an unpopular opinion but, Whoopie Pies made with shortening are gross. Cream cheese or butter is best. by Rootool
You are so brave! I would like to say whoopie pies are somewhat nasty. Speaking as a lifelong Maine resident they are too much sugar for not enough satisfaction.

"There's tons of airbnbs in Portland" yes this is the problem. Soon we will need to bus people in to feed you. So sad to live in a city that is just one huge hotel.

I'm sure there are some valuable resources closer to like brownish people we can get. Nobody is trying to pay money to visit their dumb forests anyway.

Don't worry Maine will not allow any new industry into the state. It's all part of the "any and all change is evil" culture here.
anyodan8675 t1_j1q9359 wrote
Heads up folks! Maine has ALWAYS had extreme weather during the winter. Maine has ALWAYS had extended power outages. It's just part of living here so be prepared.
