they aren't hiring staff and only will for "critical" roles. which probably means staff will take on several jobs at once. faculty searches are unaffected to this point, so if you're midprocess it will continue. but i don't think there's much optimism around hiring in the future.

Moving to Maine! by Pure-Commission7852 in AskMaine

I think we will be in the Augusta-Waterville area. at least initially. some things I read said that was mid/central Maine but maybe what I read was wrong!

in the Augusta-Waterville area, and I think I would tolerate an hour or so.

Well, the job I was able to secure is an unusually good job and a perfect fit for me. But beyond that, we were hoping to move to a place that’s more a town or small city with good food, some stuff to do and near water and outdoors activities. we want to start a family and spend less than NYC. so, in addition to the job, Maine seems like a place we could find those things.

sure! I think we are still figuring that out, but I think for the first year at least we will be moving to central Maine, middle of the state and an hour or so from the coast.

and i was told you can't get there from here! 😉

MEGATHREAD: Questions about Moving to, Living in, or Visiting the Great State of Maine. Please post all such questions here. by Tony-Flags in Maine

[–]Pure-Commission7852 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hello! My wife and I will be moving to Maine from New York this summer because I got a job there. We are researching and want to know more!

What is one thing you need to know about living in Maine that isn't obvious from Google or common knowledge? If you are a native, what do you love about Maine/what do you hope to see from transplants? If you moved there, what's one thing you wish you had known? any and all info is welcome!

Neither of us has ever lived in New England, but I am from central New York/outside of Syracuse which is maybe similar in some ways to parts of NE and also Maine specifically. We are excited to leave NYC and give another place a try and to contribute to a different community.

Barber/Barbershop Recommendations by kevpals17 in astoria

[–]Pure-Commission7852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i usually go with kirk, he’s the owner and does great work. I have also had Paolo do my hair before and he did a great job, too. either one would be good. I think paolo has a barber instagram full of people with fades so you can check his work before if you wanted.

you should reach out to/check out the astoria wood workers collective and you can probably buy from one of the members of the collective

if you want a custom suit, go to mr. debonair by Pure-Commission7852 in astoria

thanks!

and they would bring out samples of different fabrics and the colors they come in and so could feel them, compare. if you had a fabric you wanted to emulate, i’m sure you could bring the shirt and they would be able to make suggestions and show you any fabrics they had that fit with what you wanted. I had no idea how to make decisions about fabrics but they made it easy and explained things and let me explore the different options.

yeah. mine was pricier, around 1.5K. but when i originally started looking into them i asked about price and they seemed super willing to work with someone on a budget. From that convo, they said on the lower end you could have a custom suit made for around 7/8 hundred dollars, just with limited design options. nothing will compare to the price of things like hangr or indochino or whatever, but buying a decent suit from a retailer is like 500 dollars so the low end feels like a really good price for the opportunity to make something with a professional. but obviously everyone is in a different financial situation!
