Best Places to Live in Maine: Down East Magazine

in

The list has arrived - the Best Places to Live published by the renowned Down East Magazine.  Cape Elizabeth hit the list as one of the best suburbs.  Known for its prime location, top-of-the-line schools and public services, this scenic town has all the bells and whistles you and your family needs.  I know, I grew up there!  Nestled across the bridge from the Old Port, the lighthouses and private beaches are something that everyone will love attending in the summer.  Fort Williams is quite dog friendly for those with four legged friends.  If you're down by Two Lights, stop into Rudy's for happy hour or enjoy a tasty dinner at Sea Glass within the Inn By The Sea.

Social Hour at Rudy’s In Cape

Rudy’s recently reopened in Cape Elizabeth.  I love the inside, it’s very farmhouse chic if that was a thing.  The tables are decorated with mason jars, and there’s wood everywhere.  The entire decor is very welcoming, and the staff was awesome.  We all had different types of Maine brews along with a variety of snacks from their social menu, served before 6PM.  The mussels where huge, and surprisingly we tried the deviled eggs and really enjoyed them.  Their spin of normal food was greatly appreciated for a fun evening out with friends.

Crossroads

I'm at crossroads in life where I'm about to embark upon a new adventure.  In fact, in the last six months I've experienced lots of a change - a thing that I embrace.  I got engaged to my best friend and sole mate Kris!  We decided to make a move from Cambridge, MA, to my home state of Maine, which entailed finding and starting new jobs, a new apartment, establishing new favorite restaurants, a gym; I could keep going if you want.  A week before the big move, I had an epiphany while in meditation at yoga - I should document everything that's been happening to me, more to share who I am, what I've been through and to find my voice.  So, hi.  I'm Monica Nicholas.  I look forward to sharing more with you!
