These Are 14 of the Best Towns in Maine, According to Locals
Oh boy did people have thoughts about this one, and understandably so.
We decided to ask people on Facebook to name the best towns in Maine, and received over 100 responses from locals eager to vouch for their beloved communities. After all, there are plenty of nice places to live in in the Pine Tree State.
Of course, questions concerning the "best" of anything are clearly subjective, as everyone has their own definition of what "the best" means.

Regardless, everyone has their own perspective on things, which makes this topic all the more interesting.
