Down East, Not Back East

I was talking to a person from the west coast over the holidays. When they found out our field school was in Maine, they said we were “back east.”

I was forced to correct them and said; “no, we’re not back east. We’re down east. In Maine.”

Then, after deciding to have a bit of fun with them, I mentioned I wasn’t sure where they were, because once you get west of the Connecticut river, there isn’t a whole lot worth seeing and it all looks the same.

    Tim, you should create a festival called East by Down East. I’d love to see it but would have to stream it over the internet. I am west of you and couldn’t handle the cognitive dissonance involved in going west to get back east.

  • Truly a conundrum of geographical proportions! I like the name a lot. Although we’ve already discussed hosting a festival called Brushfire!. We thought of ending it with a big brush fire.

Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
