Did You Know the Oldest Road in the United States is in New England?
I was today years old when I found out the oldest road in America runs through New England. Thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. The oldest roads in America were built during the colonial era by the various European colonies, according to an Oldest article. The construction of the...
Maine Stands Out in Latest Report on Environmental Excellence
A recent report shows that Mainers are breathing easy when it comes to our environmental impact. WalletHub, a national affairs website, recently published its annual report on the greenest states in America. The Pine Tree State fared well in this year's report, as it was named the 8th greenest state...
Can Maine Drivers Please Stop Doing This First-World Problem Thing?
Trust me. I'm looking in my crystal ball and I already see you ripping me apart in the comments and saying wicked vile (probably) things because of this article. Two things: 1) I know this is really whiny and, on the grand scheme of things, not a problem at all considering other stuff going on in the world. And, 2) Joke's on you, I won't read the comments section of this post, so you're really just wasting your time dropping all that smack talk.
New Hampshire’s Most Expensive Restaurant is an Award-Winning Fine Dining Experience
It's no secret that we have a loud and proud foodie population here in New England, and with good reason.

From discussing the nation's top restaurants to sharing recipes, news, and commentaries, LoveFood is a foodie's digital paradise.
This New England State Consumes the Most Cannabis in the United States
Ahhhh, Mary Jane. The green stuff. The ganja. I could probably write all 1,000 nicknames for it, but you know I am talking about cannabis. Weed has been an enormous topic of conversation in the past decade. From politicians to your grandmother, as cannabis becomes legal (medicinally or recreationally) across the country, people are more open to talking about their use than ever before in history.
Penobscot Narrows Bridge Barriers Delayed Due To Wind Study
Since its construction in 2006, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, which connects Prospect and Verona Island, has been considered a modern engineering marvel.

Remember This Tourist Who Visited ‘Baaah Haabah’ And Loved It?
We became huge fans of him, after we saw his TikTok love letter to Bar Harbor. Tourist season in Bar Harbor is in full swing, but around the end of October, things get pretty quiet around our favorite costal town, so since it is a Flashback Friday, why not take another look back at one of our most beloved posts about Maine's favorite destination.
10 Slang Terms Mainers Use That Out-of-Staters Don’t Understand
Abby Norman, a blogger for the Bangor Daily News, came up with a list of words only Mainers use, and called it "The Outta Statah's Guide to Maine Slang". It's a great list and handy guide for that friend of yours "from away". Here are some of my favorites, along with a few that I heard as a kid that I'd like to add.
Only One State in the Country has Worse Infrastructure than Maine
The road I live on sucks. As a lifelong Mainer, I've complained plenty about things like the state of our roads, or internet options. Heck, you wanna talk about discouraging road battles... I live in an area where the town I live in says I live on a state road, so they don't maintain it. They don't pave it, they hardly ever plow it in the winter, and generally just ignore all of us that live out there.
Experience the Best: Mount Katahdin Among America’s Favorite Hiking Trails

Believe It or Not, Maine is Not Actually the Easternmost State
Geography can be a strange thing. Because the Earth is round (sorry, flat-earthers) and we have divided the planet into sections using lines of latitude and longitude, things are not always as they seem. For years, we have all been told that Maine is the easternmost state in the country....
Why You Shouldn’t Wear a T-shirt in Swimming Pools This Summer
More and more public pools (and even some private pools) are banning their guests from wearing T-shirts when swimming. But it's not just about keeping a strict dress code or swimmer safety. Why Pools Ban Some Shirts In Pools. It doesn't matter why you'd want to wear a T-shirt while...
In Maine, Can You Get in Trouble for Defacing a Political Sign?
I literally hate everything about politics. I understand it's a necessary evil in this country, and I won't jump on a soapbox about it. It is what it is. Truthfully though, I typically describe myself as a political atheist, so to speak. So when it comes to something like political signs that pop up every time there's an election, I try to just look straight forward and ignore them.
Common Law Marriage Does Not Exist in Maine
There are plenty of people all around us who have been in long-term relationships but have never taken the step of getting married. Friends and family have likely joked that while that couple may not "officially" be married, they've been together so long, it's a common law marriage now. But...

Crowds of locals and tourists fill Maine's most popular beach destinations throughout the summer. But for some, the hustle and bustle of those beaches is just a little too much to handle. So if you're up for the extra drive (and perhaps a little hike as well), you can enjoy some of Maine's more exclusive (and secluded) beaches.

Maine’s 1950 Population: Unexpected Top Towns
Who doesn't love some good old-fashioned Maine history? Well, thanks to this Al Gore's new invention called the "Internet", I managed to luck into a fun document to peruse. I stumbled upon some old Census data, which ended up being rather significant. The form is the official 1950 Census preliminary population chart for every county and town in Maine. It's a fascinating look at where Mainers called home, and how different those pockets look today.
