Windham
Windham is where Portland commuters trade walkability for a driveway and pretend it was always the plan. Route 302 does the heavy lifting, ferrying weekenders toward Sebago and locals toward the Marketplace strip, which is less charming than it is functional, and Windham knows this. The dating pool skews settled: thirties and forties, divorced or close to it, kids in the Raymond-area schools, dogs in the back of the Subaru. First dates happen at the brewery off Roosevelt Trail or, if it is July, on a boat someone's cousin owns. Lower the small-talk threshold. Raise the logistics one.
