This Affordable Maine Town Is Becoming A Surprisingly Appealing Place To Retire
A river rushing over granite falls, fresh bread at the farmers market, and home prices that make you look twice. Not a bad combination for retirement, right?. I was surprised by how much this little Maine town had going for it. The downtown felt lively without being overwhelming, and the river views alone made me want to stay a little longer.

Norway voters to decide whether to cap mobile home park rent increases
NORWAY — The path to an ordinance in Norway began back in January, when residents of Norway Commons demanded that the Select Board intervene to limit future rent increases. Residents of the 55-plus community had received letters from the development’s owner, Michigan-based Sun Communities, outlining an April 1 increase based on an average lot rent of $741. Residents argued the figure was inflated and exceeded the $450 to $632 being charged locally.
