Yay! Portland and Charles Osgood together! I've grown up in Portland and now am raising my own daughter here. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Certainly not somewhere inland.
I'm from Kentucky, one day I'm going to move here. It's so perfect, beautiful landscape and the people seem nice. It's my dream to move to Maine, not sure why? Maybe because it's out of the way of all other states. But anyways thanks for the video and god bless Maine.
Now, these sound like healthy states of minds, I enjoy hearing positive things said about Maine, especially the areas I frequent. I'm a spoiled CA gal, but have learned to enjoy the beauty of this Gorgeous place, it has taught me so much, I am also of the kind of mind that is intuitive, and tries to learn and adapt. I know now, that to find peace, I need to be in peace with all, which 1st begins with myself. Meditating is easy here, I love Maine, it is my 'Safe Haven' Happy Spring!
New England is the unique and historical cradle of the United States. I love New England, this is a very nice region with a lot of cultural and historical items. Thanks for the visit.
Maines biggest airport is in Bangor. Bangor International airport. There is also one in Portland and little tiny ones around the state. Waterville, Pittsfield, Augusta, and Trenton to name a few.
This city looks like a sleeping giant of potential. Especially as a tourist attraction. Beautiful images. I drove through Portland on my way to Acadia National Park one summer with a friend from Dallas where I'm from. I remember passing through the city and being a bit enchanted by the scenery. All the water and islands. It was amazing. I wondered why it didn't have a bigger profile. And the accents were great! A couple of times I couldn't understand what some locals were saying to me.
I am so lucky to live in this state. It truely is the best state I have ever lived. I am not a born new englander I was born texan. Lived in Nc,Sc, Ga, Nm, Tn, Fl, Pa and yep I would recommend maine over them all.
mrthompson, how far is it from a mountain view from Portland? I am thinking of going later this year or early next. It does look like a pretty city! :)
@nenagalvan check out Orono, Maine. It's right outside Bangor and is where the University of Maine is located. It's beautiful up there and a great place to go to college.
@LordHannigan No doubt. For a few years my sister lived near downtown, so I got to hang out in the city some. I'm in Los Angeles now, and I can add LA to my list of cities that Portland is cooler than.
I've lived here for ten years, and while it's not very diverse, I don't think it's intolerant towards black people. Some folks don't like the somali's who come here because they feel they are leeching off the system, but you never hear of any hate crimes or anything. I live in Portland, and it's probably the most diverse city in the state. Most people are really nice.
It isn't technically true that Portland is the largest city north of Boston. the city propper actually has a population of 66,214 as of the 2012 census. if you factor in for the City of South Portland and Biddeford the population goes up. Manchester NH has an estimated population of 110,209 within the city limits.
The video says "more than 150,000 people call the Greater Portland are their home". Greater Portland includes many towns that surround Portland, including South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, and others. While Portland only may have 60,000, Greater Portland has many more.
Touche. All I was referring to are the things that I miss from home. I was born in Brooklyn, NY. I grew up an hour from Manhattan and an hour and 15 minutes from Philadelphia on the Jersey shore. So its been an adjustment living in Maine. I'm used to a much faster pace of life and a lot more people.
coming from someone who has lived their for all 13 years of his life portland only has 60,000 not 250,000 :) o well cool video, and it is a fun city if u go down to the old port and western prom.
I've always wanted to move to Maine since I was a kid. But my fear of the discrimination is stopping me. Are Mainers tolerant of outsiders and more importantly black people?
You will however find tons of wicked good Thai food, and some of the best beer in the country! Flatbread has good pizza, except it's sorta it's own thing. And it's a city, none of that "cute town" stuff. Go live in the County for a while and then see how small Portland is.
WOW!! Your right I Just Saw It (On RUclips).....I thought It didn't have snow because it bordered California And Nevada. Sorry, I lived in the North East for a while and the Midwest but never the "WEST".
@JimiHendrixLobbyist That's a lot like what happens to me. As soon as I get my PhD, I'll try Maine. That's got to be the most "me" place in the whole world.
You Only say that because you don't have snow. Oregon just seems weird BTW Portland,ME was Before Portland,OR do you remember the 13 colonies? or 1776 or 1791
60% of our limited hunting permits are granted to out of state people instead of in state hunters. Out of state people don't know how to drive even remotely in our winters. The Maine Canadian border is the most active border in the United States. We get swarmed by Canadians who always forget that MPH is not the same thing as KPH, and are constantly Bitching because their money isnt worth nearly as much as USD. We have plenty of reasons :P
I don't know about "Stabface", but I lived just outside of Little Rock for 11 years (just moved away this summer) and I can tell you that city is a lot worse than most places in the US, homicide wise. However I can also tell you that it doesn't affect most people. It's all the gang on gang murder. If you stay out of the ghettos you should be fine, which I assume applies to all other violent US cities.
And it is not the largest city north of Boston. Manchester, NH is with a population of 109,497. With that said, I'd rather live in Portland than Manchester.
Yay! Portland and Charles Osgood together! I've grown up in Portland and now am raising my own daughter here. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Certainly not somewhere inland.
As a resident of South Portland myself which was partly included in the video, I say PERFECT! Portland and Maine are awesome!
i spent the most beautiful 5 years of my life living in Portland!!! it is the most amazing city in the world!!! i miss you Portland!!!
I'm from Kentucky, one day I'm going to move here. It's so perfect, beautiful landscape and the people seem nice. It's my dream to move to Maine, not sure why? Maybe because it's out of the way of all other states. But anyways thanks for the video and god bless Maine.
Visted portland on my cruise last week. Very beautiful I have to return.
Will be in Maine first week of October. Coming to Portland then to Sanford . I want to fish, hike, see change of trees and of course eat!
gosh the memories! it sure dose bring me back!
Wow.. amazing place.. absolutely amazing!!!
Can't wait to visit again, hope to live there someday.
Great little 3min video on Portland Maine- it is what it looks like.
Nice video and place. We went there too and it's amazing. Especially the sunrise in the lighthouse !
I was born there moved to Cape Elizabeth when I was 2 days old and moved away from Maine when I was 9. I miss it.

i love my city
I'll be there and the rest of Maine next summer for the first time! Any suggestion on what to do?
Peaceful, and nostalgic.
Beautiful city
I'm moving to Maine soon. I can't wait!
I've never been to Maine but I hope one day I can move there. I always liked the outdoors and I am sick of big city life.
Maines biggest airport is in Bangor. Bangor International airport. There is also one in Portland and little tiny ones around the state. Waterville, Pittsfield, Augusta, and Trenton to name a few.

And disregard all the haters posting nonsense below, Portland welcomes everyone. And we get more than enough snow. It's the place to be.
wow beautiful city I'll go to it for study soon
I am so lucky to live in this state. It truely is the best state I have ever lived. I am not a born new englander I was born texan. Lived in Nc,Sc, Ga, Nm, Tn, Fl, Pa and yep I would recommend maine over them all.
I lived in falmouth for 6 years just 5 mins from portland. i really miss it;-(
I've never been in Maine, I always think that the day I'll take the decision to go there it will be to settle me in Portland for life!
@MunseyProductions I believe they are talking about the metropolitan area, which makes Portland a 500 thousand + place.
woh. this place looks wickedd. the snoggings pretty good there too. ;)
mrthompson, how far is it from a mountain view from Portland? I am thinking of going later this year or early next. It does look like a pretty city! :)
i've been there and would love to live there.
good ol' popo. :]i love it there. aaahh 0:29, that steeple? that steeple, is MY church!
The home of a great newscaster - John MacVane. One can hear MacVane's distinctive Mainer accent in any recordings of his WW2-era broadcasts for NBC.
@nenagalvan
check out Orono, Maine. It's right outside Bangor and is where the University of Maine is located. It's beautiful up there and a great place to go to college.
I live in maine. its a beautiful place
@LordHannigan No doubt. For a few years my sister lived near downtown, so I got to hang out in the city some. I'm in Los Angeles now, and I can add LA to my list of cities that Portland is cooler than.
i live there and if you like at great outdoors you'll love it
@Umpqua1012 Its technically in the city of South Portland just across the Casco bay bridge
@Amiduffer Thanks, I live in Portland and its just special.
@southwestguy223 The largest airport is right in portland. There's also another one in augusta. so no.
I've lived here for ten years, and while it's not very diverse, I don't think it's intolerant towards black people.

I was born in Portland, Maine. I'm going to Terre Haute, Indiana for college in 2016.
I was there an I wish I missed my flight back to where I reside
@MrRuigni That's not true...Boston is a major city and it takes about two hours to get there.
If i live in Maine, do i have to drive down to New Hampshire to go to the nearest airport? What is the largest airport in Maine?
Portland is great :)
what is the name of the show you got this from?
Looks nice.
I will,some brand in particular?
i have been to the portland PD station and there is hardly anyone there!
@JoeNJ1 yeah the whole state's quiet for the most part
Touche. All I was referring to are the things that I miss from home. I was born in Brooklyn, NY. I grew up an hour from Manhattan and an hour and 15 minutes from Philadelphia on the Jersey shore. So its been an adjustment living in Maine. I'm used to a much faster pace of life and a lot more people.
I don't like all that,any quieter outlying areas?
The mountain view shown in the video is Bradbury Mountain - 25 minutes North of Portland.
do you still live there becasue that's where i live right this second
I live in bar harbor and been to Portland and I saw a lot gangs their and they spead to bar harbor and elsworth
Woww. I'm moving there! :)
Thanks! :)
Oh okay. Yea, I think all the people I know who seem to think Portland is teenie are from New York. How long have you lived here?
coming from someone who has lived their for all 13 years of his life portland only has 60,000 not 250,000 :) o well cool video, and it is a fun city if u go down to the old port and western prom.
@ajwebkinz914
I can imagine how much you guys have to hear about Portland Ore
Who is the narator? his voice sounds familiar.
:) LOVE PORTLAND :)
I want to move to Portland, Maine and find a teaching job. I'm done with Arizona.
Osgood!
there talking the greater portland area, not just within city limits, within city limits its around 64000

I'd like to retire there!
We did -lovely for 6mos' out of the year -cold and damp the rest. Very bad for arthritis.
Born there
I live in Portland Maine :D
Funny i live by Portland Oregon
WOW!! Your right I Just Saw It (On RUclips).....I thought It didn't have snow because it bordered California And Nevada. Sorry, I lived in the North East for a while and the Midwest but never the "WEST".
This city does look very much like a European city. Reminds me of Dublin.
@JimiHendrixLobbyist That's a lot like what happens to me. As soon as I get my PhD, I'll try Maine. That's got to be the most "me" place in the whole world.
You Only say that because you don't have snow. Oregon just seems weird BTW Portland,ME was Before Portland,OR do you remember the 13 colonies? or 1776 or 1791
How the hell could you thumbs down this video? PWM #ftw
heyyyy I'm from there!
Renee Childs heyyyy no one cares
I didn't ask for your opinion but thanks for the immature comment...
I don't know where this guy is getting his info from...Portland is not the largest city north of Boston, Manchester NH is. Look it up!

Portland doesn't get snow? Is that a joke? :l
@LordHannigan
Cool. BUt if I lived there I would be pretty pissed off if I say I'm from Portland, and someone els says."Your from Oregon?"
THATS WERE I WAS BORN
hahahaha funny i live here and I'm moving to California!!
@TheLogicJunkie Ha ha.
Maines the best. Its not too hot, not too cold, there are pretty much no natural disasters and very little crime rate
Hehe you people don't have to deal with the winter here.
I live there
it looks like europe !
Wow, at :24 seconds in that guy has the knobbiest knees ever!
@Amiduffer
And dont forget Detroit
Portland is the Annapolis of Maine
Check the crime stats of Portland Main. You only had 1 murder last year. That is absolutely amazing! In my city we have one practically every day!
The narrator sounds just like Dick Van Dyke! Seriously! : )
Surf??
And it is not the largest city north of Boston. Manchester, NH is with a population of 109,497. With that said, I'd rather live in Portland than Manchester.
