Brownville is in the middle of nowhere Real estate is cheap by you have to drive 50 miles to get to a decent size town. No real economy just small mom and pop type businesess.

Most Maine towns are pretty good.

If I were to raise kids again I'll tell you what I wouldent do. I wouldent raise them in the citys, Maine's or elsewere. Forinstance L/A area? Go to Minot , Mechanic Falls , Green ect.

However towns like Hallowell , Topsham , Ellsworth might be called citys but are more like small town U.S.A.

For quality of life Maine is hard to beat. Your challenge will be Career Advancment!

You got to have experence JUST to wash dishes in Maine!!!
You got to wait for someone to die or retire just to get a saught after job.
You got to know somebody just to be consitered for that job.
Yes Jobs are the problem.
Also one more thing, your kids will love growing up in Maine after they are grown and have moved away , ( so they can get good jobs ). They will look back on childhood fondly and wish they could give their own kids a good childhood as they had in Maine, if only they could get a decient job there.

NAFTA / CAFTA ANYONE?

I'm in Milo. Right next to Brownville Junction. Housing is affordable. Quality of life is great. Jobs may be scarce. There are those of us that love it here. It is an hours drive to Bangor but there is shopping in Dover-Foxcroft as well as great smaller grocers in the area. It depends what you require to be comfortable. Here's a link to the local paper (little weekly paper) that will give you a little insight into the town. On the left you'll find a link to the region maps.
Three Rivers Community of Maine (there is life up here)
what type of work are you looking for?

Thanks MBM,... I really do like it here. There's a sense of belonging in the community. This is a very welcoming area, jobs are something you have to consider but, I do see differant opportunities depending on what you're looking for. If you want to work at a store, I know of some positions that don't pay badly for the area. Medical staff is always in demand. GOOD, dependable cooks are also paid decently at some of the local places. schools are wonderful.

Interesting link, msina!
Looks like a nice community with a sense of pride.
