Why does Maine have such a strict ordinance on open container laws?

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?

Surprise 80th birthday trip for my Nana

This upcoming June, my boyfriend’s family (him, his mom, her boyfriend, Nana, and I) is taking our absolute angel, Nana, on a week long trip to Maine. This is a dream of hers, and she has no clue we are going.

We are trying to get an itinerary together of things we can do and places we can eat. Plus, we are looking for recommendations for a special bakery where we can get a birthday cake.

We will be staying in Norway, but we are willing to drive quite a bit!!!

She is the sweetest, most selfless woman alive and we would really love to make this special for her!

Locals, please help us out! TYIA❤️

Best off season spots to visit?

Hello everybody I hope this post finds you well :)

I’m planning on taking a little trip up to Maine this November as my vacation will be rolling over into next year and I need a solid excuse to use some for this year, and as an avid Midwest outdoorsman I’ve always wanted to make a little trip to New England.

I was wondering what are some of the best spots for those who enjoy quiet places and don’t mind isolated areas. If you got solid recommendations drop them down below.

Thank you all!
