Maine State
Is there anyone from Maine, or that has ever been there that could answer some questions about the state?

I have a bunch of questions about Maine that I hope you guys can answer for me!
What is the state of Maine like?
Is it an old fashioned state?
Is it cold?
Is it southern or more northern?
Do they have accents up there?
Is there lots of country/open fields or is it a lot like a city with buildings and lots of concrete?
Anyone from Cutler, Maine, and if so, whats it like there???

Thanks! I hope its not too much.

Maine is wonderful. It is cold in the winter time, and nice during the other three seasons. It borders Canada, and yes, like every state it does have accents, although rarely to the degree stereotyped. Portland, Maine is one of the best small cities in the country. The Old Port in Portland has the original cobblestone streets, lots of cafes and shops and an extremely artsy flair. Portland is where to go for nightlife and general entertainment. Portland is a very liberal city, and the only place in the country where Ralph Nader won the presidential vote. It has one of the highest percentages of homosexuals per capita in the United States. Mainers tend to be laid back, hard working, often artistic, and less judgmental of differences (at least this is true of Southern Maine). Maine is mostly forested, and even the cities have forests. The coastal regions have real beaches, rather than the fake, flat sands found elsewhere. Northern Maine can be remote, and most Mainers are more than a little familiar with camping skills. If the apocalypse came, Mainers would survive, like cockroaches.
Everywhere above Portland in Maine tends to have ample nature. Children grow up climbing trees, running in fields, and swimming in lakes with their friends. The crime rate is very low. When I went to Southern California, I was struck by the lack of nature, and couldn't help but wonder where children were supposed to play in that hellhole. All the money on earth would not have been enough to allow my daughter to be raised without space to play.
Much of Maine's economy comes from fishing and lobstering. Portland is a highly educated, artsy little city with multiple colleges including the University of Southern Maine, Southern Maine Community College, St Joseph's College, The University of New England, and the Maine School of Art. There is a fantastic art museum, and children's museum, etc. The Portland Ballet and numerous theaters have made a large and thriving art scene, and the Merrill and State theaters host the big acts as well.
