Post by: Jacko1070 on July 26, 2012, 08:23:35 am I saw one outside a local antique shop over the weekend, but it was not the usual male cop with the normal colorscheme that pops up consistently here. This one looked like a woman crossing guard with thick hips that was a black and red/maroon color scheme. Anyone else seen one of these? Didn't have the original base, just some cobbled together square metal pipe

In Maine there are a couple of large french speaking areas in mill town areas. They are not like they once were, but I live one town over from one and still hear french in the grocery store. Only the oldest are not bi-lingual now a days. Title: Re: See anything besides a bike? Post by: BONOVOX on July 26, 2012, 06:33:46 pm wow, that went cheap... wonder if the base was with it?
Never knew there was a french pocket it Maine. Interesting. :happydrinkers: Title: Re: See anything besides a bike? Post by: MaineT on July 26, 2012, 06:53:29 pm There are several towns that are proud of their Franco-american backgrounds, Biddeford and Lewiston are the 2 largest. Also, Old Orchard Beach is actually a huge vacation area for french Canadians, I also have that town on the other side!! Some days in the summer I see more Quebec Licence plates then Maine!! :tounge: Keep spending money and keep out economy rolling!!
