I'm Downeast Maine on an island just off the coast. I've always been a Mainer by culture but i was raised in a semi rough town bordering on Boston. Didn't "move home" till i was in my mid 20's.

Ummm .... two very different worlds.



Back when i was working in the city i used to work a lot of midnight shifts driving taxi, 24 hr convenience stores, or 24 hr gas stations. I don't recall running into any situations i couldn't handle but i can certainly understand why folks living in the urban jungle might become hyper vigilant.
