Plenty to do - 1/31/2010
Falmouth borders Portland, Maines largest city, so the nationally reconginized resturants, vibrant arts community, festivals, and shopping are all close. For the size of the town we have a great library. We have a bit of shopping, mostly along RT 1 with a few nice upscale womens and home type stores. We really are a car based community and while there is some expermentation with bus routes in to Portland, they certainly are not a cost effective use of tax dollars. We drive to activites. The schools/parks have tennis oourts, basketball and great outdoor ice rinks & cross country skiing in winter. Macinworth Island is a great place for a walk and has a small beach. The sea water is cold, even in summer, so swimming is limited to really hot days. The Falmouth harbor is filled with hundereds of boats. The many islands and beautiful coast line make Maine one of the most desirable summer boating areas in the nation. Maine Audobon maintains a beautiful nature area on an inlet.

The teachers may be a bit better than average, the schools all have an insane over liberal attitude that they pass on to the kids.

For middle school and beyond there is the daily "late bus" to get kid home from activities. Staying after to get extra teacher help is common, not a punishment. We have a new high school and soon a new elemenary school too. At the older levels there is some amount of "clickish" behavior, but not to the extent you see in CA. The town has some very wealthy families, but is mostly
