Stars and bars was their first flag and was flown in battle at the start. Not just a couple boats.

It was found to be too close to Union flags, which birthed the southern cross battle flag everyone recognizes today.

I still keep reading young people are leaving Maine. So not sure how now they’re actively moving here instead now.

Even from a personal standpoint growing up in a family with 4 kids as of last year I’m officially the last one here, with plans to eventually leave. The ratio of cost of living to earnings here I don’t see getting better.

You have the bin you have based on what they’re charging for in the property taxes for trash removal. You have the option for a larger one at a cost… or they’re betting most people don’t mind recycling and saving a buck on trash. If they’re gonna give everyone the bigger containers then everyone’s property taxes need to go up.
