By Michelle Hayes, Scarborough Town Council
The only thing better than "Summer in Maine" is summer in Scarborough, Maine! A recent experience caused me to pause and reflect on the uniqueness of our Town. I was walking the Eastern Trail when a family of four biked by. The mom asked me to take their picture and asked if I lived nearby. When I smiled and responded yes, she lamented how lucky we were, how beautiful Scarborough is and how nice everyone had been during their first visit to Maine. My chance interaction with summer visitors reinforced my gratitude for selecting Scarborough as my home in 1993.
