This week in Craigslist Maine
























































More and more, people are turning to Craigslist to sell, buy, barter and give away myriad categories of goods and services. Craigslist is becoming a window into the culture, reflecting the humor and emotions of people from many communities.
The site has also become a form of entertainment for those looking to wile away a bit of time, and following is a verbatim sampling — typos and all — of some of the posts we found in the "free" category this past week.
