Maine is seen by 'the people from away' as a beautiful showcase of nature, from its rugged coastlines to the majestic mountains. We are dubbed a classy vacationland for some locations, while other locations are a reprieve from the hectic modern life into the serene views of a pristine experience in the quiet of nature.

But, being from Maine, being in the thick of the mosquito walls of the backwoods or driving through the tourist traps to make-ends-meet, we see Maine quite differently. And, maybe in a way that isn't very appealing, but it's an honest perspective.

Those that live in Maine are a hardy bunch and talk a little crasser and walk with the burdens of having to make a living to pay for heating oil or rent for the month. Those from away bring in the money but may not understand that living in vacationland isn't necessarily what it's marketed as.
