New England is the unique and historical cradle of the United States. I love New England, this is a very nice region with a lot of cultural and historical items.
There should be more tall apartments in Portland Maine. Portland Maine alone should be over 300,000 people instead of 66,000 people. How about building solar power plants?
I was born and raised in mexico, I curently live in las vegas nv im thinking about moving to Maine or new hampshire for college portland seems like a beautiful city I just need to do more research on the university there :)
check out Orono, Maine. It's right outside Bangor and is where the University of Maine is located. It's beautiful up there and a great place to go to college.
i love portland haha, i go on a road trip from north berwick up to millinocket once a month, so i ride through here all the time, and ive stoppped plenty of times for the sea dogs, the parades, the festivals, the beaches and everything else, love this video, guys, when you get a chance by thw ay, please watch my video about maine
Maine is the 4th lowest crime state. People respect your property, your feelings. Maine is 46th lowest in the nation for foreclosure, short sale, repossession. We live within our means, family and community give us purpose, mean everything. I am a personal fan of Maine, the state in the upper right hand corner of the country.
The best ever from Portland was Mildred Elizabeth GILLARS! Before I knew her, I thought, that Portland was in Oregon and didn't know, that Portland is (at least) twice ...
Maine has many good things, but it also has it's bad side. It's unfortunately a bit backward and It has far too many bigots. I was born and raised here (over 40 years), but I don't feel particularly welcome in the land of "The way life should be".
One of the disadvantages to Portland ME is how far it is to get to any other major city from there. It might not be as bad as Burlington VT though in that way, but still.
Maines biggest airport is in Bangor. Bangor International airport. There is also one in Portland and little tiny ones around the state. Waterville, Pittsfield, Augusta, and Trenton to name a few.
I live in Portland :) I was born there too and it is a very nice place to live so if you vactioning or moving then move or take a vaction in Maine! =D
Now, these sound like healthy states of minds, I enjoy hearing positive things said about Maine, especially the areas I frequent. I'm a spoiled CA gal, but have learned to enjoy the beauty of this Gorgeous place, it has taught me so much, I am also of the kind of mind that is intuitive, and tries to learn and adapt. I know now, that to find peace, I need to be in peace with all, which 1st begins with myself. Meditating is easy here, I love Maine, it is my 'Safe Haven' Happy Spring!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Trust me. Nobody wants to move to portland. Portland Sucks. I have lived in Maine my whole life and this is the area of the most crime in the state of maine and everything he is saying is a lie. It's like the projects.
LOL. projects?? try going to a real city. Where i from portland is like a haven. The only reason there is crime here is because this is the only "real" city in maine.
@IteachUParkour Are you out of your mind? There is hardly any crime in Portland. Portland is by far the best place to live in Maine. You have obviously never been outside of the state if you think Portland is like the "projects."
@LordHannigan No doubt. For a few years my sister lived near downtown, so I got to hang out in the city some. I'm in Los Angeles now, and I can add LA to my list of cities that Portland is cooler than.
If I had to live in Maine, this is where I would live. I think Portland is such a nice little city. Good bars, good food, and no crime whatsoever. Only drawback is the climate, which it's Maine so it's not great.
As for the people, I would say people from Maine are generally friendly. Are they the most open people? No, my father is from Maine, he's born and raised there, believe me these people are used to doing things their way and don't want others to tell them differently.
Thank you for this beautiful photographic montage.
I who lives opposite PORTLAND Lighthouse .. in Brittany (France).
Thank's for visit my profile you'll see photographs and video of the Atlantic in a storm on the old lighthouse (Phare de la VIEILLE) in the RAZ de SEIN.
Location of the most dangerous and known to all mariners worldwide. pleasure to read you
This city looks like a sleeping giant of potential. Especially as a tourist attraction. Beautiful images.
I drove through Portland on my way to Acadia National Park one summer with a friend from Dallas where I'm from. I remember passing through the city and being a bit enchanted by the scenery. All the water and islands. It was amazing. I wondered why it didn't have a bigger profile. And the accents were great! A couple of times I couldn't understand what some locals were saying to me.
I'm 20, in college, work 48 hours a week but somehow I just know I belong in Maine. Mind you I live in Seattle, WA so this will be long away from home. Regardless, once I get my teaching degree, I'm out of here. Beautiful place.
@JimiHendrixLobbyist That's a lot like what happens to me. As soon as I get my PhD, I'll try Maine. That's got to be the most "me" place in the whole world.
Don't really matter if its 150k or 60k, it has everything you need for a city. Its clean, wonderful, and one of the best places to live. I have lived and visited many places. Portland Maine is truly a gem. People who do call Portland home are truly blessed to live there.
I cant stand people who keep to themselves which indicates that they are less outgoing and rude. Maine is a very beautiful state, its just a shame that the people their are so close minded and snobby which makes me not wanna go their. I love Maine a whole lot, but the people their should have a change in attitude instead of thinking so suspiciously whenever someone smiles at them
Not everyone in Maine is like that. I think that's a closed minded attitude you have yourself. As we say like attracts like. You'll find that anywhere.
It is, however, rude to say that because the people you met were closed minded and snobby it means that all the people who were born and raised there are horrible.
You say you love Maine, but hate the people-- that's the mark of a tourist.
Naw i aint generalizing the people in Maine. Personally people are people no matter where you go, its just thaat i had a bad experience with some of the people their. But then again it probably wasnt my luckiest day being their for the firsttime anyways
I have a question for all you Mainers? How are the peoples attitudes in the state of Maine?? Are they freindly and layed back?? Or are they cold hearted??
I love Maine! I live in the southern reaches of Auburn and we are sorrounded by forests. From summers warm enough for swimming and even to hog the A/C to winter cold enough for a lot of snow and even a heck of a brisk morning! Spring and fall are great to. Sure is beautiful since most of the state is heavily forested!
I love Maine I've lived here all my life and never want to leave although Boring, yes at times it is safe and comfortable little to NO natural disasters here either not much to worry about
Well, the movie said it was the biggest city north of Boston, and "clownd91" said something about Manchester, New Hampshire, so I just had to make a correction.
One thing to say ..... Portland, Maine might be the biggest city north of Boston, Massachusetts in the U.S.A, but in actual fact, the Biggest City, (Actually), north of Boston, is Halifax, Nova Scotia. Portland, Maine has (Approximately) 243 000 residents, but, Halifax, Nova Scotia has (Approximately) 283 000 residents, 40 000 more than Portland, Maine..... Just as a fact.
i believe the video ment its the biggest city north of boston in the us. portland proper only has about 64000 people. The 'suburbs' are really there own separate towns. south portland, westbrook, cape, even adding those in 243k seems a bit high.
I am so lucky to live in this state. It truely is the best state I have ever lived. I am not a born new englander I was born texan. Lived in Nc,Sc, Ga, Nm, Tn, Fl, Pa and yep I would recommend maine over them all.
It's definitely not a Chicago or New York, or even the next bracket like Boston or Washington DC (all cool cities), but it seemed MUCH nicer than small cities I've been to like Indianapolis or Cleveland or Syracuse or Cincinati or Providence, and part of me would like to live in a safe small city- temporarily.
It's actually quite hard to find a city in America that is both non ghetto and non redneck so you should be proud of your town. It gets Chi Town approval despite it's size.
Great video! But just a minor factual correction: Manchester, NH is bigger than Portland, as far as being the largest city north of the Boston metro area in New England. But even if you're just talking about the largest city north of the city of Boston only, there are a few more that are larger than Portland: Cambridge, Somerville, Lynn, Lawrence, and Lowell in Mass, and also Nashua, NH.
mrthompson, how far is it from a mountain view from Portland? I am thinking of going later this year or early next. It does look like a pretty city! :)
Portland is an AMAZING town. I lived there 30 years ago as a student at the Maine College of Art. Longfellow was was so right when he wrote: "Often in thought go up and down the pleasant streets of that dear ol' town- and my youth comes back to me..."
my antie and cousins all live in maine so i try to go there alot i have been to tht lite house and i always rembebred tht when i was a lil gurl i thought it was where they shot the movie greese at the start hehe cause when i lokkeed down i thought i have seen tht now i know i was rong but the momeriess last and portland mainee rocks gonna try and go in the summer :D but already booked for octoberr cant wait to see my antiee and cousins :D awsome video guys
When I was a boy I was scared as hell of the big city Portland.. When I moved out west, the first week I almost got ran over by a city bus.hehe Damn that was 1981, where did the time go?
This seriously brings tears to my eyes. I lived in maine once. RIght near Portland, In Westbrook, then Scarborough ten Lewiston. Never have I seen such beaty and I will never forget it. Mainer's are awsome. I am moving back asap... Maine really is the way life shoudl be.I miss it s much. Everyone was nice, it was beautiful, everything was real including me. Go there. It is a reviving experience. It changed my life forever, and in my heart it will alwys stay. Maine... the US's greatest state ily
My dad used to work as a sailor in Portland (Maine). He told me that there was snowing like hell - even though were Finns. And snowshoes were popular :P.
I miss Portland so much! I used to live on Bramhall Street right by Maine Medical Centre. I worked there one year for NS Tourism, right out of the Portland International Marine Terminal while the MS Scotia Prince sailed during its last years. I loved the city so much, and whenever I see these videos or pictures of Portland I miss if greatly. I hope to live there once again! Thank you for this video!
I can't believe I'm moving away from here after 8 years. I'm going to miss it very much! I plan to return as often as I can, hopefully being able to purchase a vacation home here one day! May the gods bless Maine!
mainer forever

I want to move to Maine. It's so beautiful. I lived in California for 17 years, and then Florida for 10 years. And now at 27, I'm ready for Maine!

It's definitely not a Chicago or New York, or even the next bracket like Boston or Washington DC (all cool cities), but it seemed MUCH nicer than small cities I've been to like Indianapolis or Cleveland or Syracuse or Cincinati or Providence, and part of me would like to live in a safe small city- temporarily.
It's actually quite hard to find a city in America that is both non ghetto and non redneck so you should be proud of your town. It gets Chi Town approval despite it's size.

Great video! But just a minor factual correction: Manchester, NH is bigger than Portland, as far as being the largest city north of the Boston metro area in New England. But even if you're just talking about the largest city north of the city of Boston only, there are a few more that are larger than Portland: Cambridge, Somerville, Lynn, Lawrence, and Lowell in Mass, and also Nashua, NH.

I've never been to Maine but I hope one day I can move there. I always liked the outdoors and I am sick of big city life.

The home of a great newscaster - John MacVane. One can hear MacVane's distinctive Mainer accent in any recordings of his WW2-era broadcasts for NBC.

Portland is an AMAZING town. I lived there 30 years ago as a student at the Maine College of Art. Longfellow was was so right when he wrote: "Often in thought go up and down the pleasant streets of that dear ol' town- and my youth comes back to me..."

My dad used to work as a sailor in Portland (Maine). He told me that there was snowing like hell - even though were Finns. And snowshoes were popular :P.

I miss Portland so much! I used to live on Bramhall Street right by Maine Medical Centre. I worked there one year for NS Tourism, right out of the Portland International Marine Terminal while the MS Scotia Prince sailed during its last years. I loved the city so much, and whenever I see these videos or pictures of Portland I miss if greatly. I hope to live there once again! Thank you for this video!

Portland is a beautiful city. But Manchester, New Hampshire is the largest U.S. city north of Boston.
