Maine's Own Off-Topic Thread! (Brewer, Calais: new house, to buy, cost) - City-Data Forum

I think this is ok.....if not, I'm sure someone will tell me!

In another part of City-Data there is an Off Topic forum. I thought that maybe we could try the same thing here....hopefully, it won't be "off-topic"! Maybe try to say one thing about Maine in every post? Anyway, we need more of a chance for us regular posters to exchange thoughts without having to hijack a thread. (which I got in trouble for once all ready and I'm trying to be a better girl!)

So, any random thoughts are welcome and much appreciated.

Okay Mollsy, I'm looking for a good place to buy fabric for curtains, I have lots to make for the new house, so cost and quality are important. Does Mardens have a decent selection do ya think?

hmmm....Marden's in Brewer does have fabric, and usually they have a good selection. BUT you may not find all that you want of a particular print. JoAnn's usually has a pretty good bargain section, so you could check there too. Where else? have to think about that!

Is it raining there? I looked on the radar, and it looks as if Calais is the only place that got this icky (but good for the garden!) rain!

Elcarim....this is the perfect spot to talk about that bar...

I was thinking about that earlier! You know, it's really not a half bad idea if we knew anyone with experience in running a business like that and had a few investors!

Did someone mention a bar!?! Now that's my kind of topic!

A year and a half ago I seriously considered opening a bar in Minneapolis, but it never happened.

I most definitely like the idea for the name "Studs" would clearly draw a crowd. I think women have waited a long time for that table to turn!

Since I can be random...we leave in 6 days and arrive in 8!!! We are so excited.

the drive is going to be beautiful! I saw somewhere that you drive up along Rt 1? How is the traffic after Labor Day along there? We try to avoid Rt 1 (in the southern part of the state) like the plague in the summer! I'm just wondering when it starts to improve!

ok....it's going to be a beautiful day and we're going to be out and about

Hope you all have a nice day and have a chance to get out and enjoy it too!
