Recently moved to ME from ATL and am shocked by the fact that they don’t allow any drinking in outdoor public spaces. This town has a band playing in the town square (where they close off the roads) but still won’t allow drinks bought by the bar to be consumed outside in their literal space? So strange to me, especially post Covid. Just curious to why it’s such a strict law.

EDIT: why does a post asking questions about something I don’t understand constitute downvotes? Isn’t this literally the place for that?

Hello all!
I’m looking for information on the best age appropriate approach to help my child learn as a stay at home mom.
My child went to a half day “school” a few days a week for the past couple of years and it was extremely beneficial for him, socially and academically. We recently moved to a HCOL area and cannot afford the nursery schools so I will be staying home with him and I am terrified I am stunting his learning. The more you know the better you do, which is why I am here lol.

I have tried to do my own research but become overwhelmed by the vast amount of information out there. How long should I be sitting down with him a day? Should I have a more formal setting with him through out the day or should it still be strictly play focused? Should he be writing his name yet or is that too early? How long should I expect a 3 year old to stay focused? He knows all of his letter sounds but does not know how to blend them, what’s the best way to start learning to read? Should I be expecting that out of him yet? Etc

A lot of these may seem like common sense questions but I am truly a blank slate and do not know, i haven’t been around kids until my own.

Please help guide me to the right place and dumb it down as much as you can, I won’t be offended lol. Thank you!

My son’s favorite hikes so far are Norumbega goat trail and Beech cliff ladder. He is 3 so around 2 miles of hiking is close to his limits.

What are some other good hikes similar to those?

I’m craving a pubsub HARD, it’s all I can think about. What’s the closest alternative?
