One does not simply arrive in Maine and become a Mainer. It takes years of practice – from how to speak to what to eat to general mannerisms – to get things right. And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that most people won’t consider you a Mainer unless you’re not actually born here. According to some diehard Mainers, if you came into this world just across the state line in New Hampshire and moved to Maine just a few months later, you’ll always be “from away.” But, that’s okay. We’re happy to have you. As long as you’re doing things right. Here are a few of the ways you might be missing the mark and how to do Maine right so that you blend right in.
