All back-story on Waldoboro would be appreciated. The downtown area isn't good, overwhelmed by the on-street, ill-conceived housing unit. And the new route 1 medians and strip-mall development is discouraging. Any ongoing feuds? Litigation? Planned developments, including wind farms, pipelines... town government hassles?

Go somewhere else. Waldoboro talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk.

I've heard that Waldoboro is uneven--beautiful houses but not always good people inside?

Opiates--though they are everywhere now.

I love it there, it's so beautiful. But people have warned me it's a very complicated community. Know what you're getting into.

As it's second-hand and scattered info, just kind of an impression I've gotten, I can't say more; I'm just repeating what Mainers from adjacent communities have told me. All communities are complex, of course. Some little towns (Alna) get a pass; Waldoboro for some reason gets a scowl.

Grew up there. Parents are still there.

It's got a healthy does of "true Mainers" that don't care what others think. The nastiness from them has spilled over a couple times.

Property taxes are too high for what you get in a town. It likes to think its a higher class town forgetting it's the poorest in the county. I think prices people list their houses for are too high often as well. I consider it an economic dead zone.

Trailer parks and low income housing galore.

It was much more active 20 years ago when we first lived there. Since then a lot of the businesses have closed down and few were replaced. It's had a long decline and given the people there I wouldn't count on it turning around. any of the communities around it are better.

Thank you. I think you chose the perfect word, "scowl." Unfortunately, that is my impression.

Thanks. I've noticed that the taxes seem ridiculous for the town. It seems like selling something at a high cost in order to give the impression that they're getting something special, like tiny bits of food on a big plate for $$$$.

Trailer parks and low income housing aren't a concern. The overall attitude, is. I remember the town from 30 years ago, and see no semblance of what it was then.
