Huh?

Well this is an unexpected story:

MILLINOCKET - As tourist destinations go, they all just roll together right off the tongue: Kailua, on the island of Oahu. Macon, Georgia. Vail, Colorado. Millinocket, Maine. Eureka, California.

Yeah, you read that right.

Millinocket.

The Magic City is ranked 6th among the Top 10 Hot U.S. Travel Destinations for 2007 by the travel Web site TripAdvisor.com. It beat out larger and better-known tourist havens such as Vail, Eureka, and Franklin, Tenn., an area steeped in Civil War history and home to many well-preserved antebellum and Victorian-era structures.

What?

This is easily the weirdest story I've read this week.

When I hear the name Millinocket, I have flashbacks to the time we led a group of junior high kids up Katahdin and stayed in Millinocket that night. What a long weekend that was.

You've unleashed some long-dormant PTSD demons there.

Just what we need: a bunch of suburbanites pulling into Millinocket wondering where the Starbucks is.

Look on the bright side - imagine the horror on the faces of those tourists the first time a full-grown moose wanders out of the woods.

I don't get it - they don't even have the biggest ball of twine in the world.

The workforce is clearly behind these unique creations. A Chanel bag, by all means, it is a wonderful creation, and tends to the care they can not afford to come.

If a woman needs to walk up, with his head held high all the time, it was necessary to perfection. Best of clothes and shoes can be ruined if you¡¯re not on the right side of theHandbags Replicas Wholesale . A bag may be your perfect state of power and the world that you mean a serious matter and announce it in line with the latest fashion.
