Sagadahoc County

• County in Maine
• 1 review

Current Resident: Bath is a very great small town, with a healthy lifestyle and a decent economy, however there are not many jobs outside of travelling carpentry and working at BIW (Bath Iron Works). Nightlife is pretty much absent except for a few dingy little bars around, but overall the city is great for youth and older people, however those from 18-40 or so tend to get bored very quickly as there is very very little to do around here.
