"Maine is the oldest state based on median age (43.5 years) and the second-oldest based on the proportion of people 65 and older (17 percent), according to the U.S. Census. Florida is No. 1 with 18.2 percent.

Maine also has the highest proportion of baby boomers ? 29 percent of its 1.3 million residents were born in the period from 1946 to 1964."

well, that does help explain the many "classic rock" stations here. One in town is owned by local
resident Stephen King...

WRONG





There is no "closest State to Canada".




There are numerous US States where you can put one foot in Canada and one foot in USA so not sure how you can get any "closer to Canada". I mean how much closer can you get:shrug:


Up North there is this US State called Alaska. Many always forget about Alaska, large border that borders Yukon Territory and British Columbia.
