Ok, what's so special about Freeport, Maine, a good 2 hours south of Boothbay? It just happens to be the home of LL Bean, the all American company with exceptional clothing, apparently all made in China. Three separate stores that have attracted lots of other retailers which line the streets of Freeport. The towns north and south had no such businesses or traffic. Speaking of traffic, apparently everyone else driving I295 knows about all the retails, for the traffic was nonstop. The first picture below was the larges of the three LL Beans stores .. likely of interest to no-one. I shot the picture looking north, just to capture the Sticky Buns coffee cup advertising. Sticky Buns was a great bakery, coffee and sandwich shop around the corner (in case you visit), that had these wonderful sayings painted on the walls. I especially liked the corkboard that visitors pin their airwork to .. the proviso being that the artist must place their work on one or more napkins before pinning it to the board. Not sure if you can see each masterpiece so I took multiple shots.
