• Over 80% of Maine Fathers Affection Is Directed at Their Wood Piles• Heroic Man Saved Dying Pit Party by Cranking Some AC/DC• This Innovative Chef Took the Traditional Maine Baked Bean Supper and Made it Cost $85• Expert Panel Concludes Maine Didnt Used to Be Like This.

Didnt used to be like this at all. Terrible now. Dont even hardly recognize it, Richards said. Richards grew up in Thomaston, but has since moved north.
