Capital Line Items

Just like Albany in New York and Sacramento in California, you wont find Maines capital buildings anywhere in the states thriving metropolis. Of course, thats because Maine doesnt really have a thriving metropolis. (Our biggest city, Portland only has 67,000 people and has issues, being dubbed the other Portland.) However, we do have a capital in our eleventh-largest town of Augusta, population 18,000. Im told 17,993 of them are lawyers. Of the remaining seven, perhaps youre visiting the guy who paints watercolors of the lovely view overlooking the Kennebec River.

Just like Albany in New York and Sacramento in California, you won’t find Maine’s capital buildings anywhere in the state’s thriving metropolis. Of course, that’s because Maine doesn’t really have a thriving metropolis. (Our biggest “city,” Portland only has 67,000 people and has issues, being dubbed the “other” Portland.)

Of the remaining seven, perhaps you’re visiting the guy who paints watercolors of the lovely view overlooking the Kennebec River. Or, it could be a sit-down with the family who runs the surprisingly good Thai restaurant in the terminal building. Perhaps it’ll be to see the governor who brought leadership by illogic to the executive branch years before it became a national fad.
