I am curious - Why did you move to Brunswick?

Brunswick is sweet! I’ve lived in Maine my whole life and after I needed to move from Windham , Brunswick surprisingly was the only place that had an available apartment.

cool. I shop there once a month but haven't seen much of Brunswick except the commercial areas. No ocean, no mountains so I wonder why it's very popular.

No ocean? You really haven't seen much of Brunswick.

I should have said beaches not ocean...I couldn't find anywhere to enjoy the ocean.

Probably loves to be around uppity old folks who love to complain that dilapidated bridges need to stay up.

PREACH. I have been here for 4 years and these dumb dumbs that think nostalgia and infrastructure are a good mix drives me f*int nuts.

I mean seriously the bridge between topsham and Brunswick has been in need of replacement for as long as I can remember. Hell, my mom said it was in need of replacement when SHE was a kid

I grew up in the Brunswick-Topsham area from 1980-1996. Always wanted out. Now it calls to me like an oasis. It’s not too big and it’s not too small. Several supermarket options, restaurants, and small shops. Plus, what I believe to be the best part, Amtrak service to Portland and beyond. As far as outdoor activities, that all depends on what you enjoy doing. I cycle and do so all over the world. Brunswick and mid-coast have so many great roads for cyclists with very little traffic. Hiking and trail running trails are not as plentiful but they are out there if you ask around at the running or cycling shops.
