I stayed in Rockland for a few nights at a hotel and I couldn't believe the accomadations. Hotel was remodeled on to a remodel to another remodel. The hotel was like a maze. I'm sure the city inspector was bought and paid for. Typical communist run gov.

I believe it. 

They say that there are two Maine's.  North and south.  Down in southern Maine by the ocean, everything seems to be higher in cost.  Up north, the pay check isn't as big, but commodities are high.

Of course, we don't have the ocean either.

Another thing that is going to hurt Maine is the shutdown of Scotia Prince cruises. They cancelled the 2005 season after a dispute with Portland over the port terminal's chronic toxic mold situation. Big hit to Maine and Canada's economies.

Isn't Maine the place where pets come to back to life when buried in a special cemetary only to turn on their owners,vampires taking over entire towns, and rabid St benards running around loose?No wonder you don't have many tourist.Or am I just reading too many Steven King novels?
