The life in a small town Maine community is more connected, down to Earth, real.

What is important is the other people in the local area. Every individual who hangs his or her hat in the small Maine town has lots of tasks living where there are less people to fill the community needs. You see it especially during a 4th of July celebration. Because everyone rallies to put on an event to be proud of that is home grown and local.
