When it comes to quirky energy, Augusta has it in spades! A capital city
with a schizophrenic personality, this little town by the Kennebec sits
in one of the most beautiful valleys in all of Maine. Filled with
gossipy neighbors, charming merchants, down and out vagabonds and
smartly dressed bureaucrats, there's no other place in the state that
can quite match it.
A small town with big city issues, and hearts bigger than the sturgeons
that splash along its waterfront, it's a place both simultaneously
confident and insecure. Self-aware enough to know its limitations, but
clueless enough to fully realize its potential, it remains the last
place in Maine that has yet to be claimed by hipster and tourist,
alike.
This book is your guide to everything that makes Augusta so ... Augusta.
From a calendar of local holidays to a profile on area neighborhoods to
really weird history, as well as personal stories form local movers and
shakers, this is your glimpse into one of the most intriguing places
around.
So welcome to Augusta, the best little city in New England. Seriously.
