It added 12 minutes because of a tractor hauling hay and a school bus with its flashers on. Now I just stick to 95 and accept the traffic as part of the deal - anyone else find the 'scenic route' is always a lie?
I moved to South Berwick last fall figuring I'd save money by parking at a lot near the border and taking the bus to my job in Portsmouth. Sounded smart, right? I paid $200 for a 6-month reserved spot at this lot off Route 236 that promised 'easy access to COAST bus routes.' First week was fine, but then they started double booking spaces and I'd get there at 7 AM and find someone else parked in my spot. The lot manager just shrugged and said to park on the grass, which got muddy and ruined my car floor mats. After 3 months of calling customer service and never getting a refund, I just gave up and now I drive all the way in to a garage downtown. Has anyone else dealt with those seasonal commuter lots near Kittery or York and found a legit one that actually works?
Paid $19 for what looked like a good deal on Memorial Day weekend, but it was mostly bread and mayo with three tiny claw pieces. Anyone else get burned by tourist trap food prices near the border, or did I just pick the wrong spot?
My car battery died last Tuesday in the Hannaford parking lot in Kittery, right as I was trying to leave with a full load of groceries. I had to call my brother to come rescue me, and he showed up with one of those compact lithium jump starter packs. He talked me into getting one for myself, so I ordered a basic model off Amazon for 30 bucks. It's about the size of a thick phone and holds a charge for months. I used it yesterday when my neighbor's truck wouldn't start in the cold and it fired right up on the first try. Has anyone else had good luck with those things, or do they wear out after a season or two?
