These are some of the reasons why my man does not wish to return to Maine. He gets on a rant everytime this topic comes up. Of course he's seen it in his 18 years in Texas also but I guess more slowly. When we got together he moved to my area of the state which is rural so we are just beginning to see a trickle of that. Every time a new "outsider" thing comes up it sets him off.
Unfortunately, we are becoming a bedroom community of Boston. Have lived here for 77 years, so don’t anticipate moving any time soon, but sure do hate the changes coming our way every day.
