Bridgton, Maine: Vacation Destination Hits the Big “Times”
March 2nd, 2009 categories: Observations and Commentary
We locals know all about Bridgton - a second home in the summer for vacationers for years, home to several beautiful lakes and ponds, a refurbished downtown, active in the winter with skiing and snowmobiling, and sporting such amenities as a wonderful hospital, two grocery stores, and a new cafe in town across from the more established women’s clothing and home furnishings store, Craftworks.
Imagine our surprise, however, and pleasure to find this wonderful small town profiled in Friday’s New York Times! It was a complimentary article too, saying many nice things about the area and quoting several residents and non-residents alike waxing on about all things Bridgton.
The major thrust of the article was about the outdoor recreational activities enjoyed here both in summer and winter. Bridgton is very much a four season kind of place and that point is driven home in this article. We already knew that - and hope the Times article will give a few more people a clue, too!
