Though I doubt most of those claims, a few of them might be the reason I live as far away from Maine as one can get without leaving the United States.

12. Moose attacks are down this year.They can't afford the gas to drive around from dusk on, owing to the "subsistence income" factor....

3. Maine has the lowest average home price in New England.By the way, there's a reason for this.
To: cp124

Wait, it wouldn't matter.

11. Maine has the worst drivers in the nation,I don't know about that. I think AZ is worse. Last year Phoenix was #1 in the nation in accidents caused by idiots running red lights. Tucson was #2. And, I lived in ME for 4 years.
