Unity, Maine’s People Named Maine’s ‘Hippiest,’ But Do They Really “Wear Flowers In Their Hair?”

The website Thrillist.com clearly has a sense of self, judging by its latest culture survey of U.S. towns with the greatest hippie attributes. The Maine town meeting the definition is a place in coastal Waldo County called Unity, according to the widely followed media and entertainment website. “With a name like Unity, you’ve set the hippie bar pretty high,” Thrillist’s Matt Meltzer says. Meltzer calls Unity Environmental University “the most liberal of liberal arts schools.” Thrillist put together its list of ‘The Most Hippie Towns in All 50 States’ by looking for places with strong countercultural vibes, from college towns full of free spirits to quiet communes and artsy enclaves.
