My family has a house there about 5 houses down from Billy's Mansion thing. I've been going there all my life. My great grandpa built the house back in the 50's.

I went to the go-kart place in Scarborough, lots of fun.  Not as fun as the strip club in Portland.

sorry for the dub.  But i snapped my ankle skimming there too when i was 14.  During the first fucking 10 minutes of a 30 day trip.  Needless to say, the good folks at York Hospital cut me open, stitched me up, and outfitted me with a cast that went up to my nuts, as to discourage me from the temptation of fun activities.
I'd never been so miserable whilst sitting on a beach.

God knows how many dollars in quarters i pissed away playing time crisis 3 at that stupid damn arcade as a child.

Nice. Maine Indoor Karting is the shit. My neighbor works there, but i heard that portland is making a law that would ban nudity at platinum plus.

LOL I may be going there next week actually. My family and I went there every year when I was a kid (well, we were in Ogunquit, actually, right near the footbridge, on Ocean drive - but we went to Wells everytime, the ice cream spot there is BOSS)

Yeah Footbridge is the best, the beach near the trolley terminus and the Ogunquit Bridge is way too much crowded

long sands (york) and gooches beach (biddeford) are 10x better for surfing. Long sands has a small surf zone tho, maybe wells would be better.

haha that game is fucking pimp. my cousins and i used to milk our grandparents for all the loose change and small bills we could, we racked up so many fucking tickets in the upstairs we got some nice shit. haha i love crab fishing at the marina too, until they closed off the docks that were close to the house, then we would have to drive around. good memories. haha

Lies. Its PT's SHOWCASE! Get it right, haha.

Anyways...I surf at York Beach a lot, even going out tomorrow, I'm out there a lot, If you see a kid with nike 6.0s and an ec tee shirt, don't be afraid to call me out.

York is better than Wells, you just gotta have the inside scoop, they have a small surf zone but after 5 the lifeguards leave and you can surf the whole beach.

Wells, Maine is awesome. I've been going there for a week each summer until this one, family got bored of it so we went to Rhode Island instead. If you go to Drakes Island beach there has always been pretty large waves there and it isnt crowded. I've seen lots of kids skim board there and a few surfers.
