Hi Patty, I'm visiting in Maine right now so it's great to read your hub. I am dismayed by the number of empty business buildings on the main street in my hometown. Everybody is struggling! Maine is a beautiful state, but the non-tourist towns have a tough time. Thanks for featuring Maine in one of your hubs! :)
