Welcome to Side Street!

Hi everyone!
I've dedicated this little corner of the web to Side Street, or as some of you may know as "The Coffee Shop". Under each tab you'll find all the hard work and research that I poured into this project, with links to hidden gems along Maine's coast and organizations for those who are in need of guidance and don't quite know where to get it. I update the pages frequently, so check back often! Thanks for stopping by!

Links

Of course there are many, many other resources out there and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface. Most of these are United States based, as I'm from the US, so leave me a comment or send an email about hot lines, organizations, or support groups that I may have missed so I can add them to the list!!
