As a Maine native I'm curious as to what the outside world considers a 'Downeaster'.
...and the proper pronunciation is "Pah-tridge".
I apologize for the generalization.
No, no! I was genuinely curious; I'm sorry If that came across as 'pointed'; that wasn't my intention at all! I live no where near the Downeast region of my state (Hancock and Washington counties) and it always amuses me how protective downeast residents are of that title. I live a little northwest of Caribou and the rest of the state considers us to be barely out of the pleistocene.
Until I had enough sense to look it up, I mistakenly thought it applied to everyone north and east of Merrimac, Mass.
Had no idea it was that specific. Live and learn ...

Chuckle, so you are in the area where they get tib-buh, not craw-lahs .
