Airbrush Virtual Entertainment Everywhere in Maine!

Life is different in Maine, the cities look like towns, the houses are vintage-themed and nature gets right in your face. Being the location where the British first tried to adopt as their base, it’s all very, English. Yet, the state almost extends more than all the New England states joined together. Interestingly, even all this landmass, Maine is the only state that is bordered by only one state, New Hampshire [1]. The city located at the extreme east of the United States of America, Eastport, also happens to fall within the territories of Maine [2].

A more interesting subject, though, is the beauty of the paradise called Maine. The Autumn, Spring and Winter seasons really bring out the charm of a state also called the ‘Vacation State’. The State has 542,629 acres of forest parks that take advantage of the beautiful forests that have become the set for countless Hollywood movies. The Jewel in this crown of natural resources, is the Acadia National Park, the seventh most visited national park in America [3]. The wealth of forests is also used for other functional reasons, since the first sawmill in the United States of America was established in York, Maine. Additionally, 90% of toothpicks used in America are manufactured and supplied from Maine [4].

The coastlands are something to behold too, as any of the 60 lighthouses standing atop jagged rocks make up quite the scenery in a state that is reported to have more than 6,000 lakes and ponds. From these water sources, Maine produces 90% of the lobsters eaten and processed in the country. Also, only 1% of the blueberries used in the entire country can be assumed to not come from Maines [5].

Of course, Maine is not immune to the crazy laws that exists in the constitution of all the states in the US. It is considered illegal in Maine’s capital city, Augusta, to play the violin while taking a walk down the road. In Waterford, blowing your nose is a no-no, and the legislators deemed it necessary in Rumford, for some reason, to specify that it was illegal for tenants to bite his/her landowner. In Biddeford, gambling at airports is a big crime, but that shouldn’t matter much, since maximum amount of money gamblers are allowed by law to win is exactly $3. If you feel all these are pointless, then think about the fact that it is considered illegal to walk off an airplane flying in Maine’s skies [6]. Nobody in their right minds would want to do that!
The ‘Pine tree State’s’ official flower is, the pine cone. And on a completely unrelated note, the ruling class promise almost 3 acres of land in you can create a business that employs up to 25 people after five years without going bankrupt. The party game, Cards Against Humanity, is known for many things, but many people don’t know that the creators made the conscious decision to buy an Island in Maine, and name it Hawaii [7].

Maine also has the highest percentage of Caucasian citizens in America [8]. And again, on a completely unrelated note, the State of Maine is one of two locations in the United States that you can rely on texting 911 in emergency situations. No that there’ll be much a need to anyway, since Maines has not recorded any cases of poisonous spiders in the last few decades. Although Maine’s official have a signage headache, as the ‘Katie Crotch Road’ sign disappears every year, for obvious reasons. To remedy the situation, there has been movements favoring a change, but it has all come to naught, since nobody even knows who put up the sign [9]. I am very sure that you now agree with me that Maine is a beautiful strange place. Indeed, Life is different in Maine.
