Just north of Duma Key
It's in Massachusetts, not Maine, but we were trying to figure out why their team mascot is an alligator that they call the canaligator. The Pennywise connection is obvious but I didn't think to ask about the alligator.

found this:
Since it moved to Lowell, Mass., back in 1996, the Red Sox's Short-Season A affiliate has been called the Spinners -- an ode to the city's role as a hub of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, particularly its water-powered textile mills.
Since turning cotton into fabric isn't the easiest thing to represent with a mascot, however, the Spinners instead went with an alligator. Or, more specifically, a family of alligators: Canaligator (named for Lowell's six miles of canals), his wife Allie-gator and their daughter Millie-gator. As you can see, they're quite the happy family, loyally rooting on the home team while bringing joy to fans everywhere:

I predict this year will be the year that the Jets topple the Patriots from their dynasty. I also predict Ms Mod will announce the whole retirement thing was a ruse and the SMKB will remain open for another five years. :tounge:
the Jets? Sorry my friend, the Bills are about to issue them a thumping, the Bills will be taking over the AFC East.. ;)

One point is not a thumping. :) But the Jets remain the Jets and find a way to fall from ahead. Can't believe they let their excellent kicker from last year go. Perhaps now they might think keeping him on would have been a bargain after all.
:snicker: I sure heard something thumping from the area, perhaps it was the collective jaws dropping to the floor of the Jets fans as they watched sixteen point lead evaporate like a magic trick..It did this old Bills fan's heart good..
