We drove through many small towns on our trip to Acadia. We ate lunch in Bainbridge, New York, and we noticed a sign for a food pantry. We stopped in a small coastal town on Route 1 in Maine, and we saw a sign for a food pantry. We stayed overnight in Ellsworth, Maine, and we saw that the old Federal Building had been turned into a homeless shelter.
After we did the loop in Acadia National Park we drove through Bar Harbor, a town crowded with tourists and containing some homes that must have been worth a lot of money. We noticed a sign for a food pantry.
This is America in 2019. Great economy. High employment. And yet we seem to need food pantries and homeless shelters. We must be doing something very wrong.
