Maine
Lobsters
-
Lobster rolls
-
Expensive, 25 bucks on the low end and goes anywhere up to 40-50 for "the best ones"
Lobster paraphernalia
Fun quirk about Maine, everything is/can be lobster-themed
The people of Maine
Valerie, has lived there full time for the past 10 years
Mara, originally from Toronto, was doing smth in maine
Victoria, lives in boston most of the year, but maine during the summer
Summer people
-
Characterised as rich, especially compared to full timers
-
Tight knit community
Small town living
Population of 1000 +-
-
Everyone in Sargentville (village within Sedgwick) nows about Jane's mom's rental house (the Anchorage)
Any tradesmen or maids from or local to Sargentville have more likely than not worked on/in the Anchorage
-
Flaws of small town life
Penobscot bay's lobster economy (primary source of income in the area) is drying up due to climate change
The downeast relies extremely heavily, nigh on exclusively on summer people
As mentioned before, the locals aren't too fond of summer people, and that leads to a toxic lifestyle where they rely on summer people despite not liking them
-
Local businesses
Cafes
Bucklyns
Crazy to anyone not from a rural town, close at 2 pm everyday, only open 4 months of the year if that, 10 dollar iced coffees if you're lactose intolerant
Regardless, one of the places you most see community, Chris (the barista) knows pretty much everyone who walks in, and if not he makes an effort to
Generally the same people who come in, usually those working nearby
Like most other businesses, Bucklyns is owned by an affluent family who enjoy coffee and are well off enough to open a small cafe
General stores
Brooklin general store
-
BGS sells loads of local and handmade goods, be it local artisans' work, or potterers and woodworkers etc
-
Nervous nellie's
Indescribable, but it's an art exhibit made of trash which sells jam
-
Has a fun backstory, Peter Beerits (the man behind nellieville) was allegedly in prison when he started nellieville, but apparently that's a little urban legend
-
Nature
Loads of hiking trails, many of which are completely unmarked and as a result only known through word of mouth
