I came up here from Florida last year and the nearby mall had been essentially barren of stores on the inside for at least a year when I left, probably more. Even he Macys there closed which was fortunate for me since I was able to get a suit for my brothers wedding way cheaper. I think that was probably the last thing that set up the mall to be dead. Because the year after that right, before I moved, the mall went up for auction and was bought for only $100k. Me and my brother joked about how cheap that was and how we could just have this big ass space to ourselves if we had been able to get to that.

Had to check. Apparently the owners went bankrupt and their creditors bought it at auction. Which all makes sense with what I was thinking. Doesn't say the price paid, but I distinctly recall hearing $100k. 6 or so months after that they got hit by hurricane Ian too. Looks like a lot of their stores are still empty. Port Charlotte Town Center for those that are curious.

There was also a Sbarro's Pizza there incredibly briefly... A B. Dalton's bookstore and a KB Toy's.

It's just winter weight man, don't judge.

Has the pole taught you nothing ?! Maine drivers never learn

And the owner of the company seems to have 6+ different aliases too (see wikipedia notes section)

Total assholes

Uh, that accounts for a full half of people that drive.

Oh, and btw, did you notice that you basically can't exist without a car unless you live right in a city? They have no choice but to give everyone a license. Even if you mow multiple pedestrians down while drunk, and kill them, no worries, a judge will give you back your license in no time. Just drive, diddle your phone, and drink and get high! You're good!

Malls across the country are going broke. Perhaps its one company?

In Washington State, one mall now has a school, library and office space. Half of the food court is closed.

Lol they declare themselves an entertainment channel bubba

Lol did you really think your electricity wouldn't go up installing a giant electrical unit

Once you declare bankruptcy its the wild west. The judge can even seize the past 90 days of payments to the utility from the utility to redistribute it to creditors with higher standing.

What a lazy asshole

It was a Pitbull

Reminder to you and to any like minded individuals similarly discouraged by these threads - the actual majority doesn’t feel the way the Reddit majority does about pitbulls.
My satan beast says hi ❤️

Im not trolling either, navigating surely involves processing information and not getting disoriented. None of these things are tested by a drivers license exam in my experience. They make sure you know what a stop sign is and send you on your way. This is not unique to Maine as far as I’m aware

So they were just having lunch in some diner?

Oh shut the fuck up you classist piece of shit. Enjoy spending 4k on your inbred golden doodle (also known as a mixed breed) when there are good dogs being euthanized by the millions across the world. Crawl back in your fucking empathy free hole. Absolute garbage.

So the British could never find Jonathan Eddy's secret treasure.

Legend has it, that the one who finds the treasure would hold the power to overpower the Atlantic Canadian Provinces. A power that was rumored to have played a role in the Aroostok War of 1839, which was really a ploy by the French-Canadian immigrants to take revenge against English Crown. However, after witnessing this power, the founder of the treasure buried it where it still remains hidden to this day.

Some believe the former Governor Percival Baxter was once told of the location by overhearing a discussion between his father (Mayor James Baxter of Portland) and none other than Joshua Chamberlain himself, who believed the treasure caused the Gubernatorial Dispute of 1880 that would have resulted in a takeover of the Maine State House that would push for another war with Canada. Chamberlain confided into Mayor Baxter his reasoning to hide the treasure to avoid more atrocious war and destruction, and how he prays no one would dig in the area he placed it. Percival, a young man who idolized Chamberlain, made it his life's work to ensure the treasure was never found, thus Baxter State Park. Or so the story goes.

Yea ..i hear ya..and i'm not trolling this topic but trouble processing information ain't navigating and a drivers test should show that...

I went to MSSM from ‘04 to ‘06. First we had mall/movie trips on Friday nights then the movie theater closed so they were just mall trips. It was incredibly hard to fill 2 hours at that mall. I remember the people there being nice though! Debs was a hoot for trying on prom dresses

"Maine" is short for "Mainland", and used to encompass the entirety of North America. Then as people settled they split their own states and countries off of Maine. Current Maine is the leftover bits that no one else wanted.

Maine is bigger than all the other New England states combined.

There’s like 8000 fucking weed places already but who knows. Would hate to discourage a drug dealer from moving here.

They do want Campobello island apparently. It’s pretty weird that it’s part of Canada but the only bridge to the island is from Maine, meaning you have to go through border security anytime you drive to or from the island.
