Brunswick question (Westbrook: 2011, shops, vacation)

[gottabhappy]

Just wondering. I was born in Brunswick at Parkview Memorial Hosp. My dad was in the Navy there in 1962. We left when I was 3 mos old and never went back.I would like to go back there someday. I have relatives near Westbrook so when I do go to Maine, I never get a chance to go up to Brunswick. Am I missing anything? I feel like I am. Is there still a Navy Base there? When people ask me where I was born I say Brunswick...it's weird saying a town I don't even know.

Brunswick is a great town! One my favorites in Maine. The Naval Air Station is still there, but it is slotted for closure in 2011.

Mark you're back! lol...good to see you!

I like Brunswick too....driving downtown isn't fun, but find a spot and park. It's a nice walk with some cute shops AND there's an Amatos!!

We spent our first night in Brunswick after driving straight through from FL last month. My husband woke up the next morning with excruciating tooth pain - our first day of our Maine vacation was finding a dentist, then being told he needed a root canal. Won't detail the experience here, but know we met some really nice people under some not so nice circimstances. Seemed like a friendly enough town to me.

Pleasant Street is not ment for so much traffic...drives me nuts but other than that Brunswick is great.
