Maineville is your digital front porch, a chance to catch up with neighbors, talk about how business is going, show off pictures of the kids or fulminate about the latest town council decision. This site is a social network with a difference - Maineville isn't organized around some made-up online theme - it's definitely not fonduefans4ever.com. This is about the town you live in, the people you see at the grocery store, the events that affect your life.
If you don't see your town among the 24 we've started with, there's no reason to despair. Get a local group together, tell us you'd like to see your town in Maineville and we'll start working on it. The best way to persuade us you're serious is to post your news, pictures, videos and blogs in the Maineville town nearest you. We'll take the hint.
Your News: This area is for short news briefs, press releases, promotions, family milestones, community news coverage and more!
Calendar: Post your club, school, organization or business events here. Do you know the dates for your town meeting, chamber events, festivals or fairs?
Photos & Video: Did you take pictures or video of a Little League game, concert, play, sporting event or community gathering? Want to share them with others or see what pictures/video your neighbors have taken?
Blogs: What's on your mind about your community? Want to sound off on a new town initiative? Give kudos to a good neighborly deed? This is your space to speak your mind, share ideas and talk about the happenings in your town.
Are you your town's iHost?
You could be if you are outgoing, involved and enjoy knowing what's going on in your town. An iHost gets the discussion moving -- inviting people to post news and photos and pointing out when that happens, schools, praising good deeds and providing constructive criticism.
IHosts comment on local events they attend, take photos and offer insight into town activities. IHosts are what keep communities alive and growing, and if you are that kind of person, we have the place for you to reach more friends and neighbors than ever before. Right here in Maineville.
I am glad that the people of maine realized that the union of marriage is for a man and a woman. the people of the gay comunity should be thankful that the law prohibits the punishment that God set for homosexuality
Oh, now you've opened another can of worms...
What does this map tell us? I’ll tell you what: the same areas of the state...south and coastal...that have the most population growth, economic development and a FUTURE are the same area’s that don’t allow ignorance to dominate their lives. By the way economically depressed central and northern Maine, the demographics of the group you just slapped in the face indicate that as a group they are in the most educated and most professionally successful in the state. You can all go back to sleep now, knowing you are safe from the affects gay or lesbians might have had on your lives…they surely will not be establishing any businesses, spending any money or vacationing in your quaint owns.
correction, green areas are areas that don't let fallen values and morals dominate their lives.
JoeDoe... I'm pretty sure youre wrong. The red areas are areas in which people don't discriminate, hate, and DO beleive in equality. The red areas are where the future is... the law will change with time.... your hatred is BS
I think I'll teach about gay marriage anyway.
tommie: Yes, and many of these people, our fellow neighbors and citizens, contribute so much to our communities and country. It was short-sighted , to put it mildly, to deny these people rights and protections and treat them in a marginalized way (as that is actually what it amounts to.) This feeling of superiority that some seem to have will come back , someday, to be proven to be just part of this long road. Equality and fairness will win out in the end. It is just going to take longer for these people; to many of us, that does not seem right at all. Ulitmately, the U.S. Supreme will be the arbiter of this.....time will show this.
Oh, they'll be back, alright. They know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Where is God..? In your imagination..like Santa,and the Tooth Fairy,and the Easter Bunny........see they ONLY make money a few times a year - unlike Religion, which gathers the SHEEPLE to fill its coffers $$$ with the FALSE promise of when you die - you get to ounce on clouds like the Snuggle Fabric softner Bear....and play harps for all eternity....yippie!!! Now head off to the confessional Father Suckme needs to see you..... you Buy-Bull thumpers are just as bad as the Taliban...you're the American Taliban. Tell me, out of curiousity - do you people beleive in UFO's? Life on other worlds?
In OUR Galaxy alone there ARE 100's of BILLIONS of Stars/Suns/planets ......its 100,000 light years across ..in a Universe with BILLIONS of Galaxies......there is NO SKY GOD Judging Us Humans....we aren't that Important. Religion is Man-Made,Man written - to keep the SHEEPLE in Line....and by the looks of some of these posts..it works wonders.....You FILL the Religious COFFERS with LOVE $$$$$$$$$$ -- brainwashing wrks wonders. Our little nothing of a planet / in a tiny solar system with an average star is meaningless in the scope of the Universe. No God cares what humans do with thier Hoo-hoos or Pee-pees..only your Religion does. You people are the ones keeping mankind from moving forward.....geez you'd burn people as witches IF you could. SO sad to be a brainless Lemming. chk this out and learn something - I dare you:

I think you misspelled your "handle"--you put "ed" when you meant to put "ing."
Most of us that live in the Green areas are happy not to have you flatlanders visit us anyway, so what's your point? Don't think so highly of yourself that we care if you come here or not.
