At Sea in South Freeport
I might have been homeless in Casco Bay, but I wasn?t friendless.

Before the term was defined as undesirable, I was homeless in what has now become one of Portland's most upscale suburbs. Desperation wasn't quite the cause, though; I actually chose to live in South Freeport without a roof over my head. And at the time my living arrangements made a lot of sense to many of the town's longtime residents. Moreover, had I chosen to dwell in standard human habitat, I'm sure it would have taken a lot longer to learn as much as I did about the people of my newly adopted state.
