What part of Maine are you from? I grew up in Maine, didn't leave until I was 28 years old. Tiny town called Levant, right outside of Bangor. My sister and her family and my mom still live right outside of Calais, we come home every summer we can get away. There is no place like Downeast Maine. Take care, Minnie
