This thread is totally relevant to my interests. We've spent the last few years thinking we would move to and settle permanently in Puget Sound area but now we really think Maine is where we'd be happiest. I'm a family physician, so we can generally move just about anywhere. The comments here have been enlightening.
Lincoln, Maine has 13 lakes and needs a family physician. Population is about 5,400 and they have a WalMart. Why a WalMart in such. Small town? They have a hospital, six banks and a credit union. They are the economic center of a huge area.

I'm sure it's a great town; we're looking for a coastal town specifically though. Thanks for the information.
It's funny, I won't buy the farmed salmon or even order it in a restaurant after years of salmon fishing offshore in the PNW. Fresh caught Kings are RED. BRIGHT RED. The color of a good piece of tuna. These orangey slabs that they try to pawn off as salmon around here don't even come close. Our 4th of July feed, which always includes salmon and fresh peas, now entails a cooler shipped from docks at Woodley Island and has for a few years now. And the halibut. Four HUGE filets out of one 40# fish. Elegant. Now I've lost all train of thought . . .
My uncle was a commercial fisherman in BC for over 40 years. He wouldn't touch "farm" salmon. He called them Frankenfish.
The "farm" salmon are fed corn feed just like every other damn animal on the east coast. (I know I live there). Salmon get their color from eating shrimp which has that copper pink color and so wild-caught salmon are not only healthier because they are eating their natural diet but their color is more appealing. The grey salmon from the farms are dyed pink in the same way that most packaged meats are dyed.
I recently switched a lot of my eating habits. I only buy "supposedly" free range, organic chicken and beef and I've only ever bought wild-caught, sustainable fish. They're all more expensive but I just eat meat less now.

So all animals on the East Coast eat corn, and yet there are animals [poultry and cattle] that free range? Hmm.
I see a contradiction here.
I breed pigs. Our pig herd lives in the woods they eat ferns, shrubs and tree roots.
