Reply to If anyone is looking for a summer whitewater rafting guide job, North Country Rivers on the Kennebec and Penobscot are hiring. by HarpuasGhost
I’ve heard moxie, crab apple and magic falls are the better ones to work for. I had a handful of friends who used to do this in the summers. It’s a pretty cool gig. Terrible pay but you get to live a low expense life in the forks which is cool. I used to go up every other weekend and do acid with them and stuff. Good times.

Commercial real estate laws are very different from residential real estate. Commercial real estate is often: "You're boiler blew up? Tough shit"

It's just a distortion from the map projection used (like an optical illusion).
Maine is really only the size of Augusta and south on that map /s

Reply to comment by vikingenvy in Info on cannabis cultivation & cannabis jobs in Maine by MikeLowrey305
People that live here are growing/producing/smoking weed. As much as I dislike the newcomers, telling them not to move here won't decrease the amount of weed available or usage.
You really should only have to explain that to your kids once and revisit/answer questions as they grow more curious. I promise you, the legalization has little effect of the appeal of weed to minors. If that were the case, in the late 90s/early 2000s I would have never touched it when it was illegal. Kids will be kids, they'll experiment, just like you did when you were young (don't lie, weed, alcohol, drugs in general, we've all been there). We can only hope to teach our kids enough to make smart choices, and never drive while under the influence. It's kind of up to the kids to take in that lesson or learn the hard way.

Truth be told, I’d be less worried about a toddler panicking, than I would you. You’re right…probably better to threaten and antagonize it. Good Luck!

I remember going there sometimes with my family as a kid… I remember it felt SO fancy, and I have a memory of eating assorted breadsticks there. Lol. I loved them! I wish it was still there :(

Cops don't pull you over for that but the minute your bulb is out or "too dim" because they can't read it, they can't turn those blue lights on fast enough.

I never thought I'd see the Bangor Mall and the Airport mall in similar levels.

As a former mallrat, this makes me wonder about the Bangor Mall. That building has no more than a dozen stores now? It's not being maintained very well. The parking lot has craters the depth of a small child.

Bangor Mall is owned by Namdar Realty group, which while also a shady commercial real estate aggregator, seems to at least be functional. For now, anyway.

I worked at that Ruby Tuesday’s for a long time. Used to steal the coverless paperback books Borders threw away in the dumpsters when we were tossing the trash!

I think they mean Eastern Hancock County, NOT the town of Hancock. That’s where Nicatous Lake is anyways.
Correction: East Hancock is an unorganized territory in Hancock County. Population 85

Are there contacts in place?? Can the tenants take any legal action? This is such a terrible thing for this company to do if they're breaking contracts. These are people's livelihoods, the ones that are there. Wow.

I may have worded my comment poorly, I am far from anti gun. Your comment was so well said I may have chosen poorly when replying.
