Would you believe this is MacDonald's in Freeport?


I was speaking with a new client of mine who is moving to Freeport from the Midwest. She and her husband are so taken with our town for many reason. One in particular is the way the town maintains it's New England charm with respect to all the national retailers who have to tone down their signage in order to business in Freeport. For example, one of the first things that visitors notice upon entering the village off of Exit 22 is how subdued and almost camouflaged the MacDonald's restaurant is at the corner of Mallet Drive and Main Street. My Midwest clients live in a town in Illinois where national retailers clog main street with large stores and super-sized signage. Ah, Maine the way life should be!
