2011 Statewide Features

BY: EDGAR ALLEN BEEM

Maine has its share of notable residents, but even the most famous of them keep a decidedly low profile here. Fortunately, the Pine Tree State is still essentially one big small town, so we were able to get in touch with a sizeable number of the state’s movers and shakers to get their idea about the real Maine. Their observations may surprise you.

My idea of the real Maine is lunch at Rosie’s Diner in Lovell. Especially in the fall, after the summer folks go home. Grab a copy of the local paper (the Bridgton News), sit at the counter, and order the blueberry pancakes (with real maple syrup). Bacon on the side’s optional. The cook wears a Red Sox hat, there’s a picture of Elvis over the specials board,and the locals talk politics and football while the leaves fall outside. If you like, when you finish your lunch, you can stroll across to the public library. Not bad.
