The Acadia Shop — Local services in Bar Harbor

There's really nothing too special about this shop, but every time I visit I find myself here at least a few times.

It's definitely nostalgia-fueled. I can remember coming to this shop ever since I was little. The smell of pine, the touristy yet awesome items. Sure, they've got the same stuff that 90% of the other shops have, but something about this store for me is different.

They clerk was very understanding and didn't make her pay for it.
