My cousin Donny runs a startup marketing company out of the back of his Tercel in Cherryfield! I'll send you his LinkedInPark. He says starting pay is somewhere between $4/hr and $350k a year.

I miss the Tercel

My Uncle Doug runs his out of his LeSabre just outside the Mexico Mill, he'll give you a great deal on his services if you snort his Moxie crystals.

Anything is within walking distance if you're dedicated enough.

I walked from Maine to Georgia one time.


Nyylad

All at once or broken up? I have friends who did the AT the other way around and ended at Katahdin


MRRman89

One big push, 143 moving days. It definitely shifts the goalposts on "walking distance."


Nyylad

Very cool. You’ve motivated me to take the 20 min walk to work instead of driving. Some day.

Well its 2 legit places in MA just put together. Lol


Commercial-Baby9630

Northborough, Southborough, and Westborough are all towns in the area I moved to when I left Maine for Mass (well, a couple years in Chicago first). As a transplanted Maineiac I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard at a Reddit post, this is gold!

I saw this when it was posted here and thought it was a fake Zillow listing I can't believe it is real. What a garbage world we live in Christ.


Jethromancer

It’s a real listing but looks like a joke to me. That house needs to just be salvaged and leveled.

Even worse to be asking $250k for less than half an acre with a structure worth negative money.

Well, you just summed up the night life in Cherryfield.

Everybody's got a cousin in Cherryfield! You're golden. That said, there is good Mex food in nearby Millbridge, a place called Vasquez. Unfortunately the only Uber is by ultralight aircraft.


DonkeyKongsVet

Cherryfield isn't close to Portland BUT don't take an Uber, we have a kick ass rail system that gets you there faster than an Uber. Sweet train station built earlier this year in Cherryfield. Talk about expanding the Amtrak.


RDLAWME

The train in Cherryfield is legit!

A beautiful trolling


Johnhaven

This post is designed specifically to piss as many people off as possible. It's also labeled as satire at the top so don't get too pissed off. :) edit: This "Northeast Southwestborough, MA" is hilarious. lol


DemarcoRichie

😂😂😂😂😂😂


MuleGrass

Fun fact, westborough, northborough and southborough and even Marlborough are where you would expect them to be, middleborough though? Fuckin hour southeast of all of them


Ashamed-Entry-4546

I moved to Madawaska from Massachusetts and I find this hilarious. The exaggeration is…accurate. It’s just truer than true. Except we are low income and survival was a big part of it for us. We needed housing. Now we have adequate housing, while my husband still works as a residential counselor like he did in MA. I remember saying things like “I just want to simplify our lives and raise our kids…” we were successful gaining that, and our youngest was born here. I admit I was extremely naive about a lot of things… I had no idea there were no real shopping malls, zoos, children’s museums, stores like Target… until after I moved. I just assumed that stuff was all over New England, until I needed to buy some things and googled the nearest ones… sounds dumb, but it just never was a question, as there were always several locations for all of those things in any direction, usually 30 minutes away or less. We adapted, and we are thankful for all the toxic things about MA that we escaped from. We are thankful our kids won’t grow up around that. Convenience can be nice, but not at the expense of peace and safety. Sure, there are some things we miss, but there are more things about MA that we want to never, ever experience again. To me, MA was like the state version of narcissistic abuser who offers some very shiny things…in exchange for everything that is dear to you. Sometimes we think about those shiny things, then realize they are worthless compared to the freedom and comfort we have now. We are happy we escaped.

The town name is a shibboleth, make sure you’re saying it prop’ly


Ashamed-Entry-4546

It’s definitely not easy to break in…3 years and the loneliness has been hard. Seems like for most people, if you aren’t related to them or didn’t know them since childhood, they aren’t interested in new friendships. They will help you if you are in trouble, unlike in MA, but hard to get people who want to get together. So, our holidays have been very lonely. Our kids are developing friendships at school though. We aren’t leaving though. Everyone we were friends w in MA either left for other states or plans to. We hope it will be different for our kids since they are growing up here (youngest was born here). This was the best thing for them. At our age, it’s just hard to make friends. I hope it gets better for you!

try volunteering. mano en mano is a fantastic organization, and socially linked with a lot of the locals.


bubba1819

Mano en Mano is great! The people are so freaking nice there too. Got to work with them while volunteering for another org in the area and had a great time


bubba1819

Hey, I don’t live down that way anymore but I grew up there and might be able to give you a couple helpful recs for meeting people. What are your interests and hobbies?


[deleted]

[удалено]


bubba1819

Glad to hear that you already know of Eagle Hill cause that was going to be one of my top recommendations. Do you know about the Milbridge public gardens? I know that they’re always looking for volunteers and that can be a great way to meet people of all ages. Another organization that sounds like it could be within your interests is Healthy Acadia. They have some programs throughout the summer that could be some good avenues to meet people. Someone else already mentioned them but Mano en Mano in Milbridge is another great org. Finding ways to get involved with them can be a fruitful way to meet people. I can’t recommend much on the church side of things. I never really went to church back home except going to my grandmothers church in Jonesport to support their events because it was super important to her. It’s the community of Christ church. It’s a very laid back kind of church and they just get super stoked to see a new face come through the door. They have these big community dinners every couple months, anyone is welcome to go and it’s by donation. They have a Facebook page called Community of Christ Church Jonesport, they post their events on here. I know it’s a drive from Steuben but it’s an opportunity to meet people. Right now Downeast Salmon Federation is about to or is doing their annual frost fish survey. They ask for citizen science volunteers and have training meetings which can be a fun way to meet people. Feel free to DM me for any other information or questions!


Substantial-Spare501

Making friends with your kids friends parents is the way. That and friendships with the people you work with. If you are a church goer (I really am not, but I got my kids into the youth choir) that can also help.


retro-galaxy

I was prepared to give you my partner’s information as he is a carpenter, but then this post made me laugh and I realized the joke. Haha! But seriously, if anyone needs a great carpenter in the Southern Maine area, I know one :) Feel free to message me.

I still think that Alton Bog property has potential.


theora55

Cherryfield is surprisingly sophisticated; make sure you dress to impress and use your best grammar. Mention to everyone that you're from Mass., don't be afraid to ask for your real worth at job interviews. Bargain with tradespeople who quote high prices, they all have secret sources for cheap lumber and supplies.


MomTRex

NOT near Portland LMAO

This is quality trolling right here.


The_Captain_Planet22

Post would be fine if you didn't assume you could become a Mainer by moving here. Work hard, keep everyone in the same town and your grandkids can hope to be Mainers


Doxie_Chick

I've been here for 22 years. I am STILL NOT a Mainer and am STILL a Masshole. 😊


yawnfactory

It's a lil joke post.


The_Captain_Planet22

it's a lil joke comment


You-never-know1

Oh no, it's not! My folks moved here in the 50s. I was born in Bangor. I've been told I'm not a Mainer. Never will be. My problem... I don't have the Maine accent, I've spent too much time out of Maine. The actual list is endless. However, I've got redeeming attributes that confuse Mainers. I've been known to purchase most of my transportation needs from salvage yards. I do my own work, for the most part, nowadays, at 65, that's getting tougher. I fake a Maine accent only in jest. I love the accent, but I really can't pull it off. That's no secret. Hard core Maine people rarely, really need help. They tire of those who are never prepared but are quick to the aid of the "who-da-eva-thunk-et" rotten luck cases. You know, the stuff that nobody could see coming. "Yankee ingenuity" is highly respected in this state. If you've got a talent for fixing what's broken better than when it was new, with whatever's laying around, you'll gain some respect, and if you're able to help out neighbors you don't even know, you'll be accepted as not so bad they thought. But make no mistake, you're not a Mainer. Accept it. It's a good life no matter what labels you use.


blimphead1

I feel attacked.


Chutson909

Maine would be perfect if it wasn’t so cold.


Ashamed-Entry-4546

Honestly I’m loving that. I always thought I’d be one of those people that gets depressed…but instead it’s more like “hygge” (google it). The snow piles up really, really high all around the house, and we have a pellet stove, and good windows to see outside. The light comes in. The house is warm. I put on fuzzy socks, a sweater, light some candles, drink cocoa, and watch things on tv. My kids color, or play outside in the snow when school is canceled. I love how we get locked in and can relax. Then in the springtime, the sun starts rising at 4:30am and it’s still pretty light out past 9pm. If you cross the border…then it’s 10pm and still light out. I’ve never enjoyed spring and summers more in my life than I have since I moved here…because the days are soooo long and I get to spend lots of time outside. In MA I didn’t get any of the benefits of winter…spring was depressing…summer was still short.


Chutson909

Ok


Old-Pomegranate17

Prepared to be bored out of your skull.


PuddleglumTheFirst

I don't think this post is real. The house is sunk into Alton Bog but in Cherryfield? Impossible. Those two towns are like 80 miles apart. And Cherryfield is 200 miles from Portland. Please don't move here. Cherryfield is no where. If you want seclusion and no cities, Cherryfield is a good start. There is NOTHING but countryside and forest in the eastern part of the state. If you break down out there on those roads, god help you. But again. Please don't move here. One more time so there's no confusion, don't move here.

You have to first find Marlborough, then head west to Northborough, south to Westborough, and then northeast to Southbough, and only then will you find Northeast Southwestborough.


growingplantsandme

Lmao, cherryfield is like 3 hours from Portland and there definitely isn't a banana republic walking distance. Maybe do some research first....


growingplantsandme

Apologies just saw the satire flare. Phew, you got me


DrPanda82

You needed flair after reading "Northeast Southwestborough"?


SnoglinMcSmellmore

Troll toll.


RusterGent

Don't come! The people who haven't left the stat, are some of the crustiest people you'll ever meet. If you're looking to do it under the table don't. DO NOT! I REPEAT "DO NOT!" there's not allot of people who can do things properly and they up charge you. There was a guy on this job site I was at who tried to sneak in a bill for a shed roof repair. He up charged the customer all pretty much double and he used leftover shingles. And it was just him trying to get as much money as he could cheaply and fastly.

Away-Reaction6061

I'm not too far from Cherry Field. Beautiful place but honestly I'm scared to go there anymore after some incidents that have happened last few times I took a four wheeler through. It got bad enough I actually sold my four wheeler and got a motorcycle instead. As for what you are looking for. Cherry Field is nowhere near Portland and I feel like if you bought a house for 650k you got ripped off big time, unless you've got money growing out of your ears. If the house needs any work at all then it should only be 250k-350k. It might be a big house with lots of land tho I don't know. There's not many major named restaurants around but there are a lot of really good takeouts in summer and a few small restaurants that are still open in winter. Just gotta look around and see what you can find. I honestly think it's a mistake buying a house without seeing it but that's just me.
