Cast Your Vote for "America's Coolest Small Town" - Rockland, Maine

UPDATE: As of 2 seconds ago on Monday, March 9th - - ROCKLAND IS IN FIRST PLACE! But, only by 86 votes. The voting closes on Friday April 3rd so there is stil time to cast your vote for Rockland as America's Coolest Small Town. Thank you to everyone who has voted!

Budget Travel Magazine is running a contest where everyone can vote for "America's Coolest Small Town." I always like to try to put Maine on the map (especially when it's FREE) because it is such a great place to live and visit. I'm hoping that all the Active Rainers (who don't live in one of the other 21 cities up for the title) will go to the website and VOTE FOR ROCKLAND. Just click on Rockland's "star" on the map of the US and vote. If you've ever been to Rockland, you can also add your comments and photos. If you're not sure where Maine is on the map - - it's the STAR that is furthest EAST. I feel like I should tell you something about Rockland to help legitimize your vote - It is a wonderful coastal town where life centers around the harbor - the Maine Lobster Festival, the North Atlantic Blues Festival and the Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors Show all call the waterfront of Rockland home. The Maine Eastern Railroad runs excursion trains in the summer (Lobster Express), fall (Foliage Tours) and at Christmas (Candy Cane Express) between Bath, home of Allen & Selig Realty and yours truly, and Rockland. Rockland has a fun main street with neat places to eat, shop and look at art. Rockland is home to the Farnsworth Art Museum and a lobster fishing fleet. Very eclectic. Here's a picture of the harbor during last years Homes & Harbors Show.
