Thread drift...

I've been to Maine a number of times and always enjoyed the friendly people, the slooow pace, the beautiful scenery both along the coast and through farm country, the old architecture... but, the sense of community shines through most. Ya don't have to leave here to see because we get MPBN TV here. I try not to miss shows from Maine, about Maine.

Atlantic Canada also shares something else with our neighbours to the south, all the way to New York and, some, further. Our friends and relatives who went to live and work there. It's our natural trading route. Never really made sense to trade over the Appalachians, except that the border made our railroads and roads go east-west.
