It’s been shit for 15 years, people only use it to get their exercise in.

Allen's Coffee Brandy: The Champagne of Maine!

There are several around the country that have been converted to Paul Bunyan facsimiles. Google "muffler men", or search the site Roadside America to see some.

It’s hereditary

I live in this town, trust me it’s not worth visiting this Walmart, it’s horrific as any other walmarts patrons and most avoid it like the plague. 😆

It was a headliner around the country once before

Times have changed, my friend. I was getting paid quite a bit more as a cannabis industry worker for the last 5 years. In 2022 our crew took a substantial pay cut. Even the best established growers are struggling with the flat wholesale prices and high cost of electricity. Cannabis industry cultivation jobs are still pretty competitive, there is interest. I’m seeing more turnover with employees however. It’s hard to live in Maine with what these jobs are paying now.

Because 50% of the state is trees

Harbor Freight and JCPenney’s are staying open. Unsure about Dollar Tree, I read someone called yesterday and they “couldn’t tell what the future holds”

What!? My life is a lie.

You don't have to, but there are many people out there who are not financially disciplined enough to be on a longer plan and pay anything more than the minimum. I don't think my original comment was focused enough and is mostly based on my own personal experiences. I live in a neighborhood about 30 minutes north of Portland that isn't too dissimilar from the one I or my wife grew up in. The difference, however, is that the parents here who have children are either older, have two graduate-level+ careers, and/or have family helping out with childcare. The couples that don't have children still have two white collar incomes. I grew up on a police officer's salary and my wife on a truck driver's salary. The average first time homeowner demographic is very different today.

I’m 6 hours away but it’s the last day. That sucks

Pics or it didn’t happen, but Maine has some gooooood bud if you’re looking in the right spots and not franchised or corporate dispensaries.

Maine doesn’t require driving tests every year to keep your license, and unless there is a serious medical notation there won’t be monitoring either. Just pay your fee every 6 years online and get a new one mailed. It usually takes an actual circumstance and then family intervention for a license to be taken away, and if you have the ability to predict circumstances you can probably make a lot of money saving those lives yourself. Good luck navigating the courts making your case though

You could. But then you’d have to report your income…

I don't think that's the first, if it's new. There's one in Limington. I was there for a funeral ten years ago or so.

Woooooooooooo!

I worked with a guy who spent a few weekends doing trimming for a local grower. It didn't sound great. Just hand trimming for hours over and over. He said they got lots of free smokes while they were working but that was the only good part. Very sticky and monotonous. The pay didn't sound great either. It might have been under the table. But it was just one place so idk.

Who's apologizing? The commenter claiming 99% was spreading false information. Does that just not matter anymore?

I'm gonna be real with you chief, it's really not so great.

There’s a KFC, a fantastic and huge Walmart, a good Deere dealership, and don’t forget the fireworks store. And a good Mardens. PI is great! RIP to the Burger King.
