as a kid from maine, I'll say I kinda like it. Sure I love moxie, but so should you. Portland is a sweet city. It has more resturants/bars/pubs/club-ish things then you would ever be able to visit in a lifetime. Also, the ocean is wicked (yes I know) awesome. For instance you can go sailing around and chill beaches.
If you can't be pro-active enough to find stuff, or hate the outdoors, its not for you. Just let me know if maine has ever caused a problem to anyone else. Seriously, do you have a blueberry alergy or something?
Its 75 and sunny all day in the summer, and you just go ski in the winter.

Granted, many of the stereotypes are true, as is with every state, but for those who have lived there all their lives, they wouldn't want it any other way. Or they want to get the hell out, only to see that it has infected them and find themselves yearning for the seasons, natural beauty and people that have shared the experience of growing up there.
And yes there is Abercrombie in Maine, not just flannel outlets, as well as all those who fit the image, for all the young hip crowd out there.
Stay there for a while, get past some of the podunk stereotypes (or immerse...atv's are the shit) and you might become infected too...
Get the accent, it sets you apart. Who needs r's anyway.
I grew up in Maine and was tired of the stereotypes only to find they were such a small part of the experience.

a place where being in the top ten percent of your highschool class is the same as being in the top ten people.....people still don't believe me when i said my graduating class was 113 people.
a place where you can drive for fifty miles, go through the center of town in a minute and a half and then drive another fifty miles before you see another traffic light...

A main refers to when a video game has multiple characters/weapons/profile to choose from and a gamer has chosen a particular character he specializes with, usually for online play.
Mains are chosen usually as their game play characteristics caters to the style of play of the gamer. Although some mains are chose out of media popularity of the character despite their inherit weaknesses (ex. Cloud Strife in Dissidia, Link in Soul Calibur, etc.).
Noobs often main characters which they can spam (repeatedly use the same move over and over with relative success in gameplay)
After playing Super Smash Bros. for a few weeks and going through Fox, Sonic, Marth, and Bowser, i have decided just to make Link my main because i think he has some extreme potential.
That noob mains Automatic because you can spam the a button and still manage 3000+ points.
