Mom.. I agree with you wholeheartedly.. I loved Murder She Wrote.. but the accents drove me crazy.. They do not talk like that in Maine or anywhere else in New England.. They overdue everything..make it grander per se... It is supposed to take place in Cabots Cove, which in reality is Camden Me..

Mark it on your list of places to go.. My very fav town in Me..including Bar Harbor. It is without doubt, glorious.. Go down to the wharves early in the morning with a cup of coffee on a cool fall day, and you will think you died and went to heaven if it happens to be a Sunday to boot.. All the Church Bells in the town are ringing, the water is like glass.. and the fishing boats are silently leaving the harbor.. It is sublime...

Cabot Cove it isn't.. The lingo...it isn't.. The people in Camden Me. mostly have bucks.. It's one of the most sought after communities to live in Me.. Please... don't miss it.. and try to plan on a Sunday... You won't regret it.. You'll also want a camera.. Winter, summer or fall.. Camden is wonderful... You'll love every house in town... Most of them painted white, and so many with dark green shutters.. Real New England.. Crisp white tie-back or cris-crossed Organdy curtains in the windows.. I've never had time to park there in the winter, but it must be glorious then too..

Your mountains are more rugged, but don't forget the worst weather in the country is recorded on Mount Washington.. Highest winds ever recorded I believe..but the mountains are more gentle for sure..but treacherous still.

So you see.. movies and TV shows do upset me when they are not indicitive of the places they are supposed to represent.. I like to see the real places and hear the real, or at least close to it, accents..

Otherwise they all remind me of Habs... lol lol ..

Great narrative about the east coast...I have copied and pasted this for further reference, to the time when we should get to New England...I am sure we will get there...BigDom wants to see my childhood vacations places, where most of my dads relatives live, in Frenchtown New Jersey....its all so historic around there, and we will enjoy that...and then we will just go sraight up the coastline of New Jersey, and follow that clear into New England....I can hardly wait for that time to come...Camden Me and Bar Harbor are on my list of places to definitely visit and enjoy...thanks...
