Etna, Dixmont, and Corinth (Bangor, Newport: credit, schools, to live)

[NJ2ME]

Sorry to ask more questions but I have been doing non stop research and then I come to a standstill once again! LOL And I figure who better to ask these questions to than you guys!

These areas.... I know Etna and Dixont share a K-8 and then go to Newport I think for Highschool? They are small towns.

Overall, what information could people give me on these 3 towns. Do you like them? Nice to live, schools, etc. I know the basic facts like distance to Bangor etc.

Also.... I have tried to look up pictures or anything but maybe being such small towns, I have no luck for Etna or Dixmont. Would it be possable to have a view of the mountains from any of these towns?

Any positive or negatives about these towns would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks to all for your wonderful advice and information!

I am sorry but the weather refused to cooperate today otherwise I might be able to help with your view of the mountains question. I was on Rt 7 this morning up as far as Dixmont because ha ha I'm from away and the person I went to see assumed I knew they were SOUTH of Brooks and not NORTH of Brooks. When I didn't find them I stopped at the Dixmont line and called to clarify.

The point of this little bit of rambling is that there was a good bit of fog today that prevents me from be able to tell you for sure.

Driving through Etna and Corinth every now and again, I do like the area.

Try ourchamber.org and click on town profiles, townofdixmont.org, townofcorinth.com. There are nice views in the area. Etna and Dixmont are smaller than Corinth. Corinth has more activity and a comfortable feel of community. Central High in Corinth is the stronger school; Nokomis in Newport had trouble with accreditation awhile back. Happy Researching!

Newport is a large, rough school made of of towns that have been hit hard in the agricultural and manufacturing industries the last couple of decades.

Corinth still has a lot of farms, fields and livestock.

Dixmont has some good hills and I bet you can see Katahdin from high places on some of them.
