Brunswick features a welcome environment for raising families, as well as an array of cultural resources, including galleries, theaters, local Sociology & Anthropology attractions, independent bookstores and restaurants. One-half hour south is Portland, Maine, the state's largest metropolis (75,000) and its cultural mecca. Portland is a lively city with a surfeit of ethnic restaurants, an active waterfront, theatre companies, a symphony, an art museum, etc. Boston is easily reached by train (from Portland), bus or car.
