Bangor named in list of top 100 places to live - Bangor Daily News (http://bangordailynews.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a629a44de37af801f63b7384a&id=b7dfec10b7&e= fb74c8fbfc - broken link)

Bangor named in list of top 100 places to live.

RelocateAmerica.com has named Bangor to its list of America's Top 100 Places to Live.

Which kind of makes sense to me.

The Rockland we know today is so much prettier than what was the Rockland of 20 - 40 yrs ago. They've worked really hard to clean up the waterfront and the downtown area. Kudos to them!

I think the article says Rockport, not Rockland.

I love Rockport! We live about 10 minutes from the harbor and go there quite often. It's so peaceful, especially compared to the hustle and bustle of Camden. (Love Camden harbor too though!) I still can't get over the fact that we actually get to live here! I'll never take it for granted!
