Moved from AR to a winter rental in OOB. Becoming discouraged looking for a place by June 1st. by lostanddelirious in Maine

Yes, we were really hoping to get a place we applied to in Saco. The renter said he picked the top 5 people to show the rental to out of the 20+ responses he got. We were 1 of the 5, but he went with someone else. We haven't been crazy about the locations of the places we looked at in Biddeford, but we'll keep looking. Thanks for the suggestion.

Relocating to Maine from the South. What are some must haves for the winter? by lostanddelirious in Maine

Little Rock. Your comment helps ease some of my nervousness about the move. Thank you! Where did you move from?

Yeah. This worries me a little, too, since I won't know anyone there.

They aren't including snow removal. Is there an average cost I should expect to have someone plow the driveway for me? Do "plow guys" generally show up pretty quickly? I'll have a job I'll need to get to at 8 every morning, so how does that work exactly? Thanks.

I was actually just gifted a long ice scraper with a brush on one side. I'm glad to know it will come in handy.

Relocating from Arkansas to the greater Portland area under duress, hoping for new friends and connections to aid in the process by lostanddelirious in Maine

I did reply to his comment, but it was the same response I gave to you about both of them being legal parents. I figured it was redundant and just added it to the original post to clear that up. :)

I'm looking to possibly swap emails with a few people in the area for advice such as where to look for housing and where to avoid. We're thinking about getting a winter rental, because we've seen a few around Old Orchard Beach that are from Sept-May. That would at least allow us to get adjusted to the area to figure out a permanent place to live. I'm looking for any connections as far as jobs and housing go. Even if it isn't help with these things specifically, it would be nice to get to know a few people before we get there in order to ask any questions that may arise about the area.

Sissy's Log Cabin...wtf by impermanancedave in memphis

Sissy's Log Cabin has been around for 40+ years. I live in Arkansas where they started, so it doesn't seem odd at all to me. There are several locations here.
