I cannot answer all your questions with precise authority, but I have been researching a similar plan for a while and here's what I have found: Definitely talk to a lawyer about putting the land in a trust. This way it passes on to your children (or trustees) without inheritance tax, and remains intact. As for additional dwellings, it will totally depend on the town/county where you purchase the land. They all have their own rules & restrictions. However, one thing I've found that seems to be consistent is that you can build additional dwellings on your land where additional homes might not be allowed, as long as they're classified as "outbuildings." Meaning, not a legal 3,4,5, home property....maybe a 2 home property with 3 outbuildings. But, again, rules will be specific to the exact location.

I'm a fellow Canadian living in Maine now. Reny's, Mardens, Ocean State Job Lot are all excellent. Bangor is a couple hours from the border and you can get good shopping there, but the mall sucks. They have an LL Bean outlet too, Kohls will have great deals, Target is solid. The the top 3 are Mardens, Ocean State Job Lot and Reny's

Humpty Dumpty hasn’t been local for a while unfortunately.

All of the above please.

A lot of typewriter conventions come from typesetting conventions. People used quotation marks instead of italics while using a typewriter precisely because it was commonly done in typesetting too.

Also I think the number of boomers using word processing programs in the 70s and 80s was probably very small. Maybe an actual one can weigh in but my my dad was born in 1947 and we had computers really early, but he still used his typewriter for most writing and we didn’t get a word processing program until the 90s.

I literally saw a bus load of Canadian shoppers stop at the Hannaford in Brewer while I was grocery shopping one time.

Before the mall really went to hell, there would be multiple bus tours of shoppers from Canada in Bangor every week. Some would actually make a stop at a grocery store.

Scrolled here for the Tokyo drift reference

Once in a while the Patagonia outlet in Freeport has 40% off sale, sometimes including current season merch (which is usually full price). I always stop there when I’m in Freeport.

They’re ALL Maine shopping centers!

YES!

No, they would use underline. Using quotation marks like this predates the typewriter by a few hundred years:

> The 1549 edition of a French book entitled Champ Fleury, for instance, set Latin quotations in italics, creating a precedent for later books to employ quotation marks or italics to call out text that their authors felt was worthy of note. The marking of such “gnomic utterances or sententiae”—weighty, proverbial or otherwise notable aphorisms—was immensely popular among readers and writers of the time

Also, Boomers (born in the 40s-50s) were already young adults by the 1970s and 80s and would thus be pretty familiar with keyboards and computers.

what do you have against giant underground concrete swimming pools? If you're so smart what would you do with the money?

Agreed. Ketchup, please!

Blasphemy. Ruffles All Dressed are horribly inferior to HD.

Love your chips. Thank you for representing Maine

I hope that's DangerKid's car

Calais has outlets and is right on the new Brunswick border

Smith Brothers in Skowhegan said they have ice cream

They could have just put, "MAINE: Gonna be honest, we've got nothing for this one."

That would have been fine.

I love these chips

double pickle!!!

Let him keep his plate! He's clearly just a Big Donkey Kong fan! Not to be confused with Little Donkey Kong of course

Best post on Reddit evah!
