Whose Town? Q's Town!

A beautiful spot. I can't stay far from the sea for long, or I get the heebie jeebies.

Ocean or the mountains for me. I live right between them, now.

The photo is a poor one as I just grabbed it from the net. But, it is the right beach and very close to the piece I worked.
 
When do the cruise ships come?

Up this way, they start doing the southeast Alaska cruises in the end of April for the hardier cruisers. About mid-May, they start disgorging passengers to buses (or the train) in southcentral Alaska.

Usually from around Memorial Day until the end of October.
 
Is Augusta north of The LL Bean store in Freeport? Because if it is, people in Portland never heard of it.

There's a perfect message board moment on that thread. guy asks if the magic shop in Augusta, Maine is still open, and somebody replies to tell him that the one in Eugene, Oregon closed.


I had to drive into Augusta once (as opposed to driving through it, which I've done a bunch), and it was a real eye-opener for anyone who thinks all of Maine is a gorgeous natural playground. It comes by its nickname of Disgusta honestly. I'm sure the capitol building is nice because those tend to be, but the rest of it was gross.

Bangor has its grungy side too, but I still like it. Hey, I'm not above the occasional double standard.
 
Q, I'll be on a boat tonight, so I'll try to get a few pics for here.

Try. I'm not very good at taking pics at night.

I agree with you about Augusta. I think it's an embarrassment that our Capitol is such a dull, dingy place. And it doesn't have the excuse of being an old mill town.
