Rockland Voted #2 Coolest Small Town in America

You don’t have to be # 1!  Nina Wildorf, Editor -in- Chief of Budget Travel Magazine, announced this morning on CBS,  The Early Show that Rockland, Maine was voted the #2 Coolest Small Town in America.  As an aside, she did say Rockland was a personal favorite.

This is a pretty big deal!  People all across the USA watched the nomination this morning and took note.  The Lime Rock Inn received a reservation during the segment and the phone at the Chamber has been ringing off the hook.  Congratulations Rockland!  You are a cool town!

The following criteria had to be met: 

1.  Have to be able to get a Great Cup of Coffee

2.  Good Food

3.  When you leave to visit the big City, you always want to come back

4.  More Art Galleries than Country Stores–this is not quaint America but Hip

5.  Population less than 10,000
