well the steven king part makes me slightly uneasy...lol heck i lived down the street (literally half a mile) from Philip Gerido who had that Jace Duggard girl in his yard trapped for 20 odd years. and they never did find the zodiac and I was awfully close to where he was at too...and scott peterson...and all the people that could have escaped from San Quinten lol but I actually grew up in a place like that. Pretty, simple, nice people that let you go at stop signs ect. Only thing wrong we had there was the 1981 keddie cabin murders that were never solved. The movie the strangers was inspired by it. other than that small places are pretty nice and relaxing
lol Steven King is a really nice, very quiet guy. He's not shy when he opens up though. My father's an Author, slowly growing here, and I got to join him in eating lunch with Steven King once.
The great thing about Maine, is that nobody bothers Steve. Everybody knows him, and loves him, but he came to Maine to avoid the mass floods of fans and constantly being bothered.
He's like an ordinary guy here. He has conversations with people, if he asks for directions, he'll get them, he talks with fans, but it's casual and never obsessive. Like he can walk around Portland, the busiest city in Maine, and hit every store on the way, and people will say hi, and people will address him by name, but nobody will bother him.
He's no different here than I am =)
