Ah, the Diner. Farmington has had a good, old-fashioned "diner" since the 1950's. Made in that classic all-aluminum exterior, it has the booths and stools that you would expect in a classic diner. Mother and Daddy and I ate there when they came to visit last October. I've been there with MRM and her parents for breakfast. But the land was sold to Rite-Aid along with the plot next door and a new shiny sign of progress will be built in that location. There are many stories about who bought the building of the diner, but it didn't get demolished. Here it is, hooked up to a truck, ready to be moved to its new home, wherever that may be.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
