Reply to comment by CraigInDaVille in Massachusetts ranked most innovative by "Wallet Hub" by Hoosac_Love
Their cpre business model is similar to Credit Karma, you sign up and get a free daily look at your Transunion credit report and in return they pitch credit cards, loans, and insurance products and collect referral fees whenever someone clicks through and successfully applies.
The credit score they provide (Vantage 3.0 using Transunion data) is virtually useless but the daily free looks at your credit report can be useful.

Georgetown, because of Reid State Park. We used to go there a lot when I was a kid, many happy memories.

Can't help with a specific recommendation for rock cllimbing but if you're staying near Trickey Pond it's a shorter drive up 302 to North Conway than it is to Sumner, even further to Peru.

Can vouch for the Maine Warden's parka, although if there's a strong possibility you're going to be physically active for prolonged periods where you will end up sweating a lot you're going to want to consider parkas using synthetic insulation as mentioned above or maybe a hooded wool coat like those from Johnson Woolen Mills.

I haven't been to Mills Tavern in a few years but I always had good luck there. As for Al Forno I've no particular issue if the group decides they want to go there but
I never suggest it and definitely think it's overrated.
Hemenway's is another place I like if I'm up for seafood and a martini.

Reply to comment by TheGrateKhan in Rep. Jason Gerhard (R-Northfield) sponsoring a bill to allow convicted felons to legally possess firearms by [deleted]
Even if the bill passed it would be ineffective because the federal regulations banning convicted felons from owning firearms take precedence. Also, lying about ones criminal history on a Form 4473 it itself a felony.

They can't even make using a credit card to pay your bill a seamless process either.

Reply to comment by JimBones31 in The Portland area has the 8th highest percentage of second homes in the country by LuckyLaceyKS
The second home of someone whose primary/legal residence is elsewhere. It doesn't appear to differentiate between someone that for examples lives in Cumberland and also has a place in Naples vs. someone from Massachusetts that has a camp on (ugh) Sabattus Lake.

I figured that was who you meant, glad to see that someone else still remembers them.
Married couple owned the place and they both worked there, LJ were the initials of the wife's 1st name.

LJ's used to be pretty good when they were at their original shithole location in Providence but went on a slow steady decline after they moved to the little strip mall off of East Ave in Pawtucket right near the Providence line. Prices kept going up and quality down and they finally folded.

Reply to comment by sintixerr in A question about firearms in the state. by clinicallyinsane112
You're correct about state law making it llegal to shoot across a road, it's also illegal to discharge a firearm within 10' of a road.

The Irving gas stations in New England are associated with the Irving headquartered in I think New Brunswick, the same parent company is a huge landowner in northern Maine.
