Gorham
Gorham is a college town wearing a suburb's coat. The USM campus keeps the median age artificially honest on weekdays and lets it drift on weekends, when the undergrads decamp and the rest of town remembers it is a quiet New England village with a long Main Street and a longer commute to Portland. Dating here splits cleanly: students on the campus clock, and thirty-somethings who moved out for the schools and the mortgage. Coffee at Sebago Brewing, a walk on the Mountain Division Trail, an honest conversation about whether either of you actually wants to drive into the city on a Tuesday.
