Fan of Eating Outside Maine? We Don't Have to Wait Much Longer

With the weather we are coming through, the mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain, plus the cold temperatures, it is easy to set aside our optimistic nature and feel like hovering inside closed doors.

And to assist our moods, the traditions of spring are unfolding, or are about to.

To prove it won’t be much longer, Carrier’s Mainely Lobster has announced its ‘opening day’ for this year. And it’s this Monday.

Carrier’s Mainely Lobster is in Bucksport at Route 46 and US 1/Route 15.

Last year they re-did the exterior seating area expanding it and enlarging the under roof area with numerous tables.

And they have a comfortable air-conditioned inside seating area too. They open Monday at 11 am.

And there are others opening too, if not now, very soon.
