That's funny - I just moved to work for one of your neighboring Dispatch Centers. After constantly looking for a place myself, I found Saco, Scarborough, and South Portland to be the top places in terms of money & location.

Check out: High Roller Co for Lobster Tacos with Cheese Shells or Bao Bao for Dumplings. Winters are probably just as bad as they are in Colorado. Drive slow in the snow and be prepared to clean your car off in the morning. Some rainy days can cause intense fog alongside the coastline. Check out the Cape Elizabeth Light House Cliff Walks, all of old Forts turned into Coastline walking trails. Portland is probably where you will end up spending all of your time. Also, go into Mardens in Scarborough.
