In my last post I lamented how far we have to drive to do "real" shopping...
In the interest of full disclosure here are some random shots of Downtown Rockland, Maine... The town next to Rockport where we do most of our business...
It is full (even this time of the year) with quaint shops, amazing restaurants, art galleries, a world class museum & a fully restored cinema that has both live performances and shows hard to find indie films.
Yes all of that, plus a bank where everyone greets me by my first name, a pharmacy where the owner/pharmacist drops off my mother's medications on his way home, a post office where I always run into someone I know and usually meet other interesting people I will be glad to know and a coffee shop where my girlies and I have had many heart to heart talks...
And this is just in the downtown area... There is so much amazing and unique to living in Mid-Coast Maine that makes the "inconvenience" of having to drive to get to most of the chain stores very, very worth it!
PS. I snagged all these photos from google images... If I was less tired I'd follow links and give the photos credit, but for now I am just letting you know that I am not taking credit for them!
Oh, my! That sounds heavenly! Even here in the "Small Town" we don't have that!
