Best: Natural beauty, mountains, one of the lowest crime rates in USA. No sales tax.

Bad: very low inventory of apartments and homes, high property taxes.

In this case it was lakefront acreage. Today, lakefront homes sell for 3 times what non lakefront homes sell for. Lakefront acreage is also worth more.

$485 in today’s money for 5 acres of lakefront property sounds very very low.

Almost like taking advantage of an 8 year old kid.

Look for a Renys. There are real deals to be had there AND they carry quality merchandise like Carhartt and Pendleton. They also have close outs. I bought a bunch of Woolrich flannel shirts before Woolrich went out of business. If you see an Ocean State Job Lot, try it out. If you go to Southern Maine, check out Cabelas and Kittery Trading Post.

If you like power tools, check out Home Depot and Lowe’s. When they put something on clearance, they frequently drop the price to below what they paid for it.

All of us, regardless of medical conditions, should be allowed to have dark windows to keep the car cool in hot sunny days.

Whatever I’m doing in my car is my business. So what if the police can’t see inside. They can’t see inside my home either.

Real estate agents depend on referrals. If I hire a buyer’s broker, I’d tell them I expect to be informed of any issues that would affect the value of the house that they know about or should know about. If a law that affects my purchase is likely to be passed, I want to know about it. I want my broker to look out for me as they would themselves. If they don’t, they won’t get a good referral out of me and I might sue.

Um, Israel was very pro Trump. One left leaning Israel news outlet said that if Israel were a state in the U.S., it would be the reddest state in the union.

There are many negative things to be said about Trump. Anti semitism isn’t one of them.

Uh, there are Jews in Trumps family.

If it’s a pricing error, are they required to honor it just like a big box store must?

I like that Maine is considered like the Alaska of the northeast.

I’d love to keep the riffraff from MA, NY, NJ, PA etc, from coming here.

I hope that any depositor who has more than the $250,000 limit is reimbursed even if it means that there’s not enough money in the FDIC fund and taxpayers will have to make up the difference.

This is what’s been done with the SVB bailout, so it’s only fair that First Republic gets the same treatment.

Good for him! Just goes to show that living in Massachusetts hasn’t impaired his judgment.

you stop at a house with a front yard full of junk and realize they're not having a yard sale.

That's very strange. What're you supposed to do, keep testing yourself?

If you don't have symptoms, are you really sick?

I don’t know if I’ve been lucky, but I haven’t had any symptoms, so I haven’t gotten Covid. I took the J&J version of the vaccine.

I've always hated the taste of Moxie, but I loved Casco sodas. Anyone remember Casco sodas?

Massachusetts has been gerrymandering for decades.

There are low intellect Redditors who either don’t know this, or think the rest of us don’t!

There used to be two derelict ships to the right of the bridge, probably after this photo was taken.

It’s not credible unless Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell or James Comey or 50+ intelligence experts say it is.

A pitbull is like a gun that can load, aim and pull its own trigger. At random. Would you buy such a gun?

You guys are so fucking cool. I haven't been there.

I wish more people would say that who HAVE been here.

So all Republicans are traitors and all democrats are good guys? ———————-

Yes. If you want to make America great again, you’re a white supremacist. If you believe that China represents a bigger threat to the USA than Russia, it’s because you hate Asians. Just go to the political discussion board.

What a great photo!

Many lakes and rivers were used to transport lumber, which they did until the early 1970s. That meant that many lakes that now have million dollar lakefront homes didn't have any because the logging made swimming and boating filthy and dangerous in all but the wide areas.

Many lakes had a dam and a mill at one end to process the lumber. Just imagine all those logs you see on huge trucks being floated down lakes and rivers.

Most roads were gravel or dirt, which is why early cars had such a high clearance so that they good still get through during mud season.

Nestle sold Poland Springs. They’re no longer involved. Do a wiki search on it.
