Secret Lives of Mainers

My piece on the "secret lives of Mainers" is on the cover of this month's issue of Down East magazine.

The article -- which is available online -- explodes some myths about Mainers and reveals some surprising facts that may surprise you. Example: the Maine town with the highest crime rate doesn't even have a stoplight. Or guess which state is the least religious in the country, after New Hampshire and Vermont? And what do you think is the most common occupation in the state? (Hint: you don't need a boat, chainsaw, or tractor to take part.)
