11 Undying Habits That Prove You Can Never Take Maine Out Of The Mainer
All Mainers know that if you’re not born here you can’t be considered a Mainer. But, the opposite is true of those who ARE born in Maine. If you’re from Vacationland, you’ve got Maine running through your blood no matter where you are. Not sure if you’re dealing with a real Mainer? Look for these undying habits that prove we can’t (and won’t!) change!
After months of being stuck inside, the first hint of warm weather and sunshine means we're doing whatever we'd be doing inside...outside.
Doesn't matter where we are or how many cars we see. You're bound to know SOMEONE!
Just in case!
Here's a hint: If you pull over in another state to get what you think are Fiddleheads, you're probably going to be disappointed. This really is one of those habits that should be reserved for Maine.
Books, clothes, figurines of Susan Collins (is that a thing yet?) - it's all tucked away somewhere in our homes.
Throw some boots on, zip up that jacket and get out there!
Growing up with a Maine Gazetteer in the car has a way of making it impossible to use anything else. And, why would we? If you can't get there using this trusty book, it's probably not a place worth visiting!
Living in Florida these days? Keep those flannels, you never know!
And we're not afraid to share it! You can often spot a Mainer in another state simply because they've made sure to wear their Maine gear.
We can't help but be proud.
And we'll engage our neighbors in all sorts of conversation.
If you’re one of those Mainers currently living outside the state, take a little trip back home with this absolutely epic aerial drone footage!
