RE: Portland Days (Photo heavy)
Tourists are more of an issue than hipsters. Mainers tend to be sincere to a fault. I mean they will lie and talk behind your back like anyone else; but they pretty much are who they are and do not give a shit what others think of them. If they are dressed like an artist they are an artist; Maine has a lot of artists. (Like myself)
There was one bar I used to always call the “Hipster bar” in my head that I would walk by everyday; but when I actually went in the people were really cool and I liked it. Nice service, good food. A little on the pricey side but I think they have a happy hour.
Visit before you decide to move there. The price of living is higher than most paychecks can afford and the winters can be long.
Sorry about my Ted talk but I miss Maine.
I was really thinking more like, visit. Though, it may not matter, I have a job coming up in the Midwest I plan to take for sanity's sake. I may never get to travel widespread again. No problem with your "Ted Talk", any convo on here is fine as far as I am concerned. Thanks for all of your information concerning Maine. It was one of the few States my reggae band did not visit while on tour. As far to the northeast we performed was Baltimore, Maryland, I believe. :)
